Not a big fan of the GT500 front bumper as a Bullitt.

Is that a real hood or a photoshop hood? Kinda looks photoshopped.

Mirrors are interesting, but a little on the small size.

I kinda like it and I'm very partial to the grill.

Nice try? I should say so! Very nice, though I could take or leave the GT500 fascia.

Clean yet imposing. Ford will have a hard time topping that look.

The guy gets my vote.

Thanks Sean, THIS is a great interpretation. I'd love to know where those mirrors are sourced since I hate the truck-size appendages currently in use; guess I will have to wait to hear more...

Anyone know who K.L. Jones is? Reading Ponysite.de, they almost make it sound like this is more than just someone's custom Mustang.

Eh, my eternal optimism is probably just reading too much into it...

that's pretty much exactly what i would do with an S197 if i were going to make a Bullitt tribute, and I would hope Ford gives us something very similar for the real thing.

I never pictured a Bullitt tribute with a GT500 fascia, but the more I look at it, the more I like it. Would like to see some chrome trim around the radiator though...

I think it looks great. would be even cooler if made the fogs with amber lens and wired the fogs as the turn signals to give that 68 turn signal look.

I don't really like the gas cap, but it's still an impressive looking rendition.

I'm with you. The GT500 front fascia is really well wrought being both more menacing than standard GT fare and cleaner than said GT fascia all at the same time...perfect for a Bullitt.

They're right about Daniel Craig as Frank Bullitt, though. He's the perfect choice >>



Fortunately, no such remake is in the works...yet.
