Where's the BULLITT?
will be at LA (San Fran...No Brainer) Autoshow in November. I think it wll unofficially show at some sort of hoopla surrounding the 40th Anniversary of the Movie which premiered on October 17, 1968. With Chad McQueen and "Official BULLITT Mustang Replica licenced by Ford" owner David Kunz (http://www.ponysite.de/bullitt.html) and Ford Suits.
Order banks will open on October 17...Job 1 is December 1 and January 2008 it will be in your driveway.

New York makes a lot more sense.
On the other hand, it could also be that Carroll Shelby is "scared" of the Bullitt and afraid it will siphon sales from the Shelby GT...and has said as much to the "powers that be" at Ford - leading them to hold off the Bullitt debut until year's end and Shelby Automotive has had a chance to get on its feet and rack up some sales. After all, the Bullitt would almost certainly steal sales away from the Shelby GT because it would offer the same performance without the idiotic ADMs. Which one would you pick?

Look at this article http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll...701130370/1148
Kusak said Ford will unveil freshened versions of the Mercury Montego and Ford Freestyle later this year, as well as a new version of the Mustang -- a limited edition Mustang Bullitt that will commemorate the car's starring role in the movie of the same name. Just doesn't say when....

Ahhh, YEAH. HELLO! Maybe he actually GETS it! Now hurry up and bring it over already.
It also says in that article that Mulally is "pushing hard to consolidate global operations." I'd like the names of the people who are pushing back.

Ford is aware of the sentiment of the Bullitt fans. There is plenty of time to tune the next Bullitt with the performance it deserve while realeasing it at a time when it won't conflict with the promotion and sales of other SE's. There is a very good chance your wish and mine will be granted.
hmmm... a 5.4L Bullitt? 
time to buckle down and figure out how to finance the next one!

I didn't know you and Robert Blake hung out together, George. You know what they say, "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time." Unless you're a celeb, of course.
