Thank you Justin. What Mustang's have you had?

Sounds like a beast! What mods have you done on your Bullitt?

Rock & Roll Man! You're gonna love your Bullitt!

I bought mine today, 12,640 miles An absolute gem I love it

Going to purchase this exact model next

Whaaaat. Should have looked more got min for 14 out the door with 32 k on it. Was a garage queen.

do you still have it?

@Wooley689. Thank you for the kind words. The story continues and the car is still bringing me joy now almost 5 years to the day I got it. It's currently tucked away in storage until Spring. Waiting is the hardest part ;)

Cool!

I'm about 20mins from Kenosha where I believe the AMC plant used to be. Congratulations on achieving your dream. It's never too late to dream big ;)

@@DreamMachinesvideoseries Thanks so much. Mike

Hi Johny Broadbelt. Thank you for your kind words! I'm grateful that you enjoyed. Be sure to check out the rest of my videos for other cool stories and motorsports content.

@Nick G. Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback Nick. I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Since this video, I have done a few mods of note. Most notably the Ford Racing Adjustable Suspension kit and the FR500 Axle back exhaust. These Bullitt cars are truly hidden gems! Please do share it with the IMBOC community. I'll need to check in since I haven't been on their in a while. Please share away. There will be more enthusiast stories to come featuring all different kinds of rides. All my best!

Thank you for the comment. Go for it! I'm biased, but the 2008 Bullitt is my favorite and it is a blast to drive.

I rarely drive my Bullitt with the radio on. It's definitely music haha!

@@DreamMachinesvideoseries was driving mine today and just had to shut the radio off. the best sound doesnt come from there.

Wow! It's awesome to have a fan from Poland! Thank you for commenting and thank you for watching! I'm still enjoying the Bullitt 3 years on.

Hi Paul! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. It's great to meet a fellow "Bullitthead". Ford really nailed it with these cars. I live in the Midwest and it's looking like there may be an end to Winter in sight so I'm starting to get excited to get #0890 back on the road. I completely agree the Bullitt is a modern classic!

Thank you for the comment David! The car is currently tucked away in storage, but I can't wait to break her out in the spring. I'm a fool for living in the Midwest lol. Stay tuned for more vids this year. Thanks again for watching!

Thank you for the wonderful feedback! It's always incredible to hear similar stories about these cars and see how these videos impact our audience. I live in the Midwest so my Bullitt is currently tucked away in hibernation. I'm going a little crazy not being able to drive it. It's cool to hear the similarities in your story. I think it's easy to find a kinship with fellow gear heads. Fathers passing on their wisdom and bonding with their children through cars seems to be a timeless theme. There is another episode in the works about a couple who fell in love thanks to their shared passion for old hot rods. So even true love can be found through cars. I thoroughly enjoy finding out the different ways in which these "Dream Machines" bring people together. It's a heck of a lot more fun to bond over a car than a toaster :)

Thank you for watching Joe. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for the support and be sure to check out my other videos. I hope you've got a sweet ride to enjoy as well.

I couldn't agree more. How can anyone not like the Bullitt. It's just a cool car and really fun to drive. The 3:73 gears make it snappy and really fun off the line. Thanks for watching and be sure to check out the other videos!

The 300zx are really cool. I used to race those in the original Gran Turismo games back in the day. It's hard to believe that cars from the 90's are becoming collectable these days. How time flies. Thanks for the comment and stay tuned for new videos coming spring/summer of 2018.

Thank you James and than you for the sub! More videos will be coming in the spring.

Hey thank you for the comment and for subscribing Ben! It's sweet to meet a fellow Bullitthead. It's about time to put my Bullitt in storage for the winter. I'll probably have withdrawals till April!

My bullitt is 212

Thank you! I am hoping to make some more episodes this year. It's been a tough year with the pandemic, but I love telling these great stories. Thank you for checking out Dream Machines. Please spread the word :)

Congratulations on your 06. That is incredible to hear you found one with such low miles. Awesome find! The S197 platform is such a great platform. The last of the old school Mustangs and a real performance bargain. Thank you for checking out the channel!

Hey thanks for commenting Anthony! What model year Bullitt do you have?

Dream Machines video series 2008

Thank you Troy! Just getting ready to pull her out of storage. That is, if it will stop snowing in Wisconsin already lol. Thank you for watching and commenting. Please stay tuned as there will be more videos in the future.

Star Cars is fantastic! I absolutely love "The Homer" episode. I haven't made my way out to California yet, but it is one of my life goals to drive the Bullitt in San Fransisco. I think it would be super cool to feature an 01 and also a 68 at some point! Thank you for the support Brad and best of luck with your en-devours. You have a new subscriber as well.

@2005GT Mustang. Thank you for comment and I appreciate your condolences. Judging by your screen name I take you must have an 05 GT? I still think Ford hit it out of the park with the styling of the 2005-2009 Mustangs. I'm biased of course. You might appreciate this article about the development of the Bullitt's exhaust system. www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/11/the-importance-of-the-vroom-vroom/382513/

Yes I do. It has about 63k miles on it and it's Windveil blue. No real upgrades, other than a Hurst short shifter, it's lowered, the battery has been relocated to the trunk; it's a lighter battery. It has 285, r18 on all 4 corners. It's a great car. I plan on upgrading the brakes over the winter, but I'm not sure how far I should go with that (maybe Wilwood). I also agree with you, Ford did well, and I knew this was the car for me. I've had it since 2007.

@@2011italianoboy Sounds like you got yourself a dream machine too! Windveil Blue is a great color and I like the mods you've done. Sounds like a really fun car!!!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I try to get a new video up every month, at the very least, usually by the third Saturday of the month. Episode three which will feature a 1965 Corvette and it's long time owner will be posted in a week or so. Definitely stay tuned as we are working on more episodes. Thank you for your support! Please thumbs up, share and subscribe.

@Alfa. Thank you for the kind words. Very happy you enjoyed the video. I hope you got your Bullitt and are enjoying the ride ;)

@@DreamMachinesvideoseries Hi Don ;-) Dream and reality now ! after Audi quattro, bmw530ia , mercedes V6 ...this Ford Mustang BULLITT V8 sound on turning roads is just Fabulous ! enjoy when i see faces of people in my mirrors YEAAAA because she is are very rare and exceptional car here in my country ! thanks Sir SteveMcQUEEN gave us Dreams car and motorcycles too, Thanks FORD Engineers ;-) Best Regards my friend Don over the seas where I'm PULLING THE TRIGGER ;-))

It sounds like to got your Dream Machine as well. The Coyote Mustangs are proper fast, but I really love the 4.6 3v with 315hp in my Bullitt. It's still plenty of power and with 3:73 rear gears it's snappy off the line and just a really fun street car.

My second favorite color is blue. I hope you enjoy your Mustang as much as I enjoy mine. Thanks for the comment and stay tuned for future videos.

@@DreamMachinesvideoseries yes I do love my blue baby. Hard to find green so I went with my second favorite colors. These 4.6 are so much fun. They make good power when you do intake and exhaust.

@@generolmatt4 My Bullitt power-train is still stock other than some FR500S Mufflers. It makes 315hp on high test. It's plenty fun for the streets. The 4.6 3v sounds awesome too.

@@DreamMachinesvideoseries it’s funny that people now call these 3V cars slow AF. It’s definitely not a slow car and has plenty of power to get you in trouble! And it sounds better than the new ones because the engine has the same firing order as the old 5.0s.

Thank you for watching! The Shelby GT is a great car. Vista Blue is a gorgeous color. The Bullitt and the Shelby GT are actually pretty comparable in performance. I actually installed the Ford Performance handling pack on my car which is basically the same spring and shock set up as the Shelby. I would love to do a video on a Shelby GT since it's also a rare and collectable Mustang. What's the backstory on your car and what inspired you to get that particular car?

@Jimmy870. Thank you Jimmy for the comment! You are spot on. Cars are all about the emotion and passion. They can represent memories, relationships and adventures. They can encapsulate so much. What year is your 5.0 GT? The performance pack that was put on the 2010-2013 GT's was basically the same set up as the 08-09 Bullitts. The Bullitt was like the engineers car that they learned from going forward. Frankly I love all Mustang's, but the Bullitt is one I plan to keep for as long as I can. Thanks so much for commenting and please stay tuned as we've got more videos in the works. Thanks so much for watching!

Thank you. :) My 5.0 is a 2016. I wanted a Mustang or a Camaro since I was maybe 13 years old. Throughout high school, college and beyond to my first jobs out of college I wanted one but could never afford it. I came from a non-car-enthusiast family who would tell me I wouldn't be able to afford the insurance or gas, and that it wouldn't be feasible. I always just admired the fun cars of others. When I was 28 in 2015 I had the financial means I walked into a Ford showroom and placed a factory order on a 2016 with the color and options I wanted; race red, black wheels, performance package 6-speed manual and 3.73 gears. I have the original order sheet, the window sticker, even the plastic airbag warning handtag and plastic piece that goes over the navigation screen somewhere. I picked it up on December 1 2015 (4 months or so after I ordered it) at the Ford showroom next to a Christmas tree they had up. A childhood dream come true.

That is absolutely awesome! I think you specked it out perfectly with the 6-speed and 3.73 gears. I bet that car is an absolute riot! Great color combination as well. Have you done any modifications yet?

Just the front license plate that mounts underneath the car so you don't have to drill the front bumper. No other mods. Want exhaust, something where the warranty is intact. After owning an unreliable car, want to keep this one reliable. In stock form it really moves. I gotta stop driving it to work though, gas in Vancouver, Canada is over 6$ a gallon (!!!!!) right now, and it sucks in traffic. Have a Corolla for that lol

Sometimes it's nice to appreciate things in their stock form. Plus modding a car to oblivion can get expensive in a hurry. I've got a couple mods on my Bullitt, but I don't want to modify away what makes it a special car. As for having a gas sipping daily driver... Sometimes it takes sacrifices, like driving a Toyota, to truly appreciate the dream lol.

Thank you!!! It's comments like these that help us to know we are on the right track with our videos. It's about the unique people as much as the cool rides :) Stay tuned in as we are working on more episodes.

I'm biased, but I agree. It's the truest to the original McQueen machine from the movie and even though it lacks the power of the newer models it is still a blast to drive on the street. Thanks for watching!

Hi Paul! I love meeting other Bullitt owners. I still have #0890 and plan to keep for a very long time. I just put it into winter storage for the season. Thank you for the comment and for watching.

Thanks for the comment Viper Gamer! I'm still learning how youtube works, but hopefully with time and support from people like you the channel will find it's audience. More videos will be coming in Spring/Summer of 2018 so stay tuned.

I forgot to mention that I have a 1987 Thunderbird turbo coup it's fun too Bill Elliott will live forever

That's awesome! My Dad was a Chevy man too. I learned to drive in his 1995 Impala SS and I'm pretty sure that was the car that solidified my obsession with American Iron and V-8 engines. He also taught me stick on his 2006 2500HD 6-speed Silverado Diesel pickup. He was a true gear-head. He always said he'd rather I spend my money on car parts than drugs, so I guess it all worked out lol. Thank's for watching the videos. Definitely appreciate the comments as well.

@@DreamMachinesvideoseries Hay man it's Chad again I have put some more things on my Bullitt I added a Ford racing intake and a JLT air intake and Detroit Rocker cams and pypes long tube headers and a x pipe I left the stock mufflers it sounds great it's making 364 horse power to the back tires and 340 pounds of torque

@@chadrobinson500 Hey Chad! It's awesome to hear from you. Man that sounds like you've added some great mods. I've been on the fence with doing cams for a while. How do you like them? Have they changed your drivability at all? I would love to hear what your new set up sounds like. I bet it sounds mean as hell!

That's bad-ass that you daily your Bullitt. Even more bad-ass that you use it as your courier vehicle. People get their medical supplies in style.

Haters gonna hate I guess. Thanks for watching!

At the time of filming the exhaust on my car was 100% stock. In the video we miced up the exhaust with microphones on the bumper to capture the most clear sound possible. In the editing to make the video more visceral I overlayed the exhaust sounds captured from the exterior of the car with any of the driving shots. In reality when driving the car with the stock exhaust it is much quieter in the cabin. The stock exhaust sounds very good, however after having the car for a few years I wanted a bit more volume and purchased the Ford Racing FR500S axle back kit. This kit sounds fantastic and retains the stock look since the tips are identical. Maybe at some point I can mic up the car again to capture what the upgraded exhaust sounds like. I'm pretty sure that American Muscle or LMR have exhaust clips of the FR500S kit. It really sounds great and in my opinion is perfect volume level. No drone and you can hear it, but it's not overly loud in the cabin. I always drive around with my windows open because I love them so much. Hope that helps.

@@DreamMachinesvideoseries Thanks for the reply. I see you did some Hollywood magic there then, much like the original Bullitt :) I had my eye on the FR500S too, they sound great but can't find a set anywhere.

@@LyrionLee It's been a pain finding parts these days. Everything seems on back order. I hope things will get better soon. I would keep an eye on Craigslist or maybe even ebay. Sometimes people post lightly used or still in box parts they never put on there car. I know a buddy got a set of mint Bullitt brakes with the red calipers, still in the box for his new edge convertible. You never know, you might get lucky.

Thank you for watching! I agree (though I'm a bit biased). The 2008 Bullitt really hit's the mark as far as being a tribute to the 68 GT 390. I think it's style will hold the test of time.

Dream Machines video series i

Dream Machines video series it’s funny. I watched Bullitt last weekend for the 10th time- I was just in the mood for it you know. Then I went to the gas station to fill up, and I see a brotha with a 2001 Mustang Bullitt. I had no idea they made them. So I go on KZfaq and see the latest one they’re coming out with, and your version. Man, I thought I knew cars.

When I bought my Bullitt the auto shop I had it inspected at had no clue what it was. The mechanic was like, "Is that an Irish car, it's so Green?". Once they got it on the lift and saw all the performance goodies underneath, suddenly the mechanic took it seriously. I had a hard time getting him out of the car after the test drive. I think it's cool that these cars are sleepers. I think the 08 is the best of the bunch, but the 2019 sure looks pretty and sounds good.

Dream Machines video series that’s it bro. The Bullitt is now my second favourite mustang, behind the 91 Cobra 5.0. All good bro. Nice vehicle, and I know you’ll take care of it 👍🏿✌🏿

Hi Adrian. I wish I knew. I bought the car used and the previous owner had already installed the plaque. It's a very cool addition. It appears to be a custom made piece. The front is resin and it has 3m adhesive backing. It's temporarily secured with Velcro as not to mess up the awesome aluminum dash trim.

I'd be hard-pressed to trade my 08 for a 19. I love the fact that it's still mostly analog (as far as modern cars go). I also prefer the styling of the 08 to the 19 as it's more retro. I'm sure the 19 is faster and probably a superior performance machine, but I think the 08 captures the spirit of the original better. Thank you for your comment and I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video. My best!

@@DreamMachinesvideoseries also the 08 has a much nicer sound .

I'm glad someone caught the reference! Watching Dave and Sam fix stuff with my Dad back in the day on TNN was a Saturday morning institution! Thank's for subscribing Matthew!

Thats probably because the Dodge was 440 cubes vs Mustang's 390 cubes.

Thanks for watching Bret.Stang4.6. Since the filming a little over a year ago, the car has gotten the FR500 axle back exhaust. It sounds absolutely wicked. The chin spoiler is actually the California Special/Shelby GT front fascia. It was on the car when I bought it and I kind of like it. I've thought about getting the retro mirrors also. I plan to keep the car long term so I'll probably mod the car little by little over time. I love the car how it is so I'm not sure how far I'll take it. Only time will tell. I hope you are enjoying your Mustang as well. Love these cars :)

Dream Machines video series had no idea this was your Channel until after I posted and I noticed it wasn’t a chin spoiler either haha, but man I love my fr500s glad you went with them too instead adding some crappy flowmasters. Jealous of your car man wish a had Bullitt myself and I totally understand about keeping the car long term and I understand about not over doing it I literally would only add ford racing parts (performance wise) to it myself, idk I’m just weird that way because the car is special. Now for my car I don’t really give a damn what brand goes into it cause it’s just a premium GT and there’s thousands of them 😂. But I like to keep the old school look that’s why I don’t over do the exterior as you’ve probably seen, but I hope you enjoy your car too and thanks for the response man.

I'd like to drive one to find out! With the current chassis and tech I imagine the 2019 really drives amazingly well and probably has handling capabilities exceeding the limits of most drivers who would purchase them. I think the styling is definitely more modern, but defiantly cool. Maybe not as true to the 68 design as the 08-09, but I'm bias, and I love the 08-09 Bullitts and their retro styling. I also enjoy the more pure "old school" driving experience without all the tech and nannies. That said, I wouldn't complain having any model year of the Bullitt whether it's a 2001, 2008 or 2019. The holy grail for me of course would be a true movie car replica of the 1968 GT 390 built to the exact specs of Max Balchowsky and Steve McQueen.

Dream Machines video series - I fell in love with the styling and coolness of the 2008 Bullitt a few years ago. Steve McQueen was one of my favorite characters in the movies too. My dad had a 1966 Mustang which he later gave to me. So when I saw the 2019 Bullitt in the showroom I closely checked it out! It’s really special! Like no other Mustang. There’s a very cool factor I can’t explain except to say the plain simple lines of the car and the dark highland green with the tires and wheels all worked for me. The Q ball shifter and black leather interior with green stitching is great. But most of all, when you push the start button and hear that rumbling roar and exhaust note, it’s magic! It drives great with the Magneride option and the Audio uograde -B&O system is incredible. I didn’t get the Recaros because I like the power ventilated standard seats. Overall this car with the 2 options cost me $52k out the door! It’s more then a regular GT Mustang with the PP1 options. It has the look, power and soul of the Bullitt. It’s not the same as the more retro 2008 car, but it is very NICE! Please test one yourself and you’ll see! Your passion for this car is real and I understand how you feel. Great review. By the way, Revology manufactures a clone of the 1968 Car for $235,000. Check out their U tube video! So Ford hit it out of the park. Steeda makes a modified version of the 2019 car for $40k added mods plus the $50 for total of about $90+

Matt Maran bought one and has done several U tubes on this car and there are numerous videos praising it but you have to see it in person and drive it to fully get it.

@@rembo183 It sounds like I need to do a video on one :)

Dream Machines video series - Well you should, especially being the owner of a 2008 car! I’ll look forward to it.👍🏻. You’ll enjoy it I guarantee it!
