I too am a Huge Bullitt fan and have been fascinated with the original 68 and ,like you . I also went nuts when they brought out the 08 Bullitt. I couldn't afford one new ,but i always looked for them in the classifieds and dealers ever since then. but my budget very tight still but still hoping to keep the Dream alive that i will get one of my own some day but its very hard and i am 57 now

I wish mine could be as good :( i have 02 eclipse RS

Where did you get the 03-05 clear turns signals!!!

What a great video!! Not only of the story of the car but the story of your father

1:33

Where did you get your turbo?

How did he remove his rear camber I’m gonna be making an insane track car but I want to remove a bit of camber

Fun FACT - the Bullitt mustang got its ass KICKED by the black dodge charger during filming ( couldn’t keep up despite having some mods vs the STOCK Charger) and scene had to be re shot to make it look like the Mustang was keeping up! #mopar

Awesome video! Looking at a 2009 in Ohio.. hopefully I’ll be able to pull the trigger.. best vid I’ve seen in the mustang genre..

Awesome! I never found low miles to be much of a brag. In a classic car, each mile on the odometer tells a story 😎

You still have it? :3

Thank you for posting this, Don. I share a few things with you. I was 14 in 1968, visiting my grandmother in Denver. I was playing basketball with some friends in the neighborhood and across the street this young man, about 20 or so, got into a 1968 Mustang Fastback and drove off. This was in May of that year, right about the time they were filming ‘Bullitt’. Little did I know that 40 years later I’d be owning my own Mustang, the Bullitt 2008. My dad had passed away in 2004; like your dad he was very mechanically inclined but he wasn’t in to cars. He knew that I was and the Bullitt film was a favorite of ours. I know it wasn’t a coincidence that I bought my Bullitt right on his birthday, January 26, 2008. It was his gift to me. Anyway, I was very touched by your story and completely understand what you’re talking about. Thanks again!

I am coming for you record… mark my words

what front splitter is that?

Do you have like a list of the setup you have put into the Eclipse? I have an Eclipse of my own that I want to work on

I now own a 2008 Bullitt and you made an excellent decision

THIS IS THE VIDEO IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR I have the exact same car but a 2002 and this is what I want to do to it 🫶❤️❤️

I used to laugh at Mustangs, I hated them and then I became a mechanic at a Ford dealer and fell in love. I bought a 2006 Mustang GT in 2008 and I got to perform a pre delivery inspection, gas it up and wash it and basically take delivery from myself LOL and I'm still the second owner, 34,977 miles and 375hp and it's PERFECT to me. Go out, get your dream car and enjoy!

I have a 2005 Eclipse Spyder. 5 speed, straight piped. If the definition of "chick car" is "all the girls turn and look at me as i drive by" the, yeah it is. LOL Enjoy it my friend.

👍

Hi I thank you for sharing this wonderful story. Shit bro this is bringing me to tears. Proud owner of a 2008 #1117! I share a similar story with you. When these came out a guy like me could never afford one of these beautiful machines!! I told my dad what ever it took I would own one of these some day, we both laughed knowing Icouldn't!! Sadly he passed on Nov 19 2021 he passed a year before I was able to track down a black 2008 with just 56,000 miles!! I jumped on the opportunity to get one of these beautiful automobiles!! A classic I will keep until my dying day. Your story is epic and I can relate because I just about lived the same story just on different sides of the US!! Thanks for sharing this you made my fucking day bro👍

Where did you get the work done on your car? I just bought a 3G and was just curious. I’m out in Kenosha

Great story, man...sorry for your loss. I have very much the same story as you. I lost my "mechanic" dad just a few weeks after you did (early April 2015), and he never go to see my Mustang project (a 2008 GT track project...and my dream car) before he passed. One of the last things he ever said to me as he looked over the "in the making" track car all in pieces on jackstands was "Man, I'd like to see this when it's all done." He passed away very suddenly three weeks later. My son helped me finish up and is my crew chief" at the track, so the father-son connection continues; I hope you have that some day too. Beautiful car you have there! Great video...thanks for sharing your car, your story.

Impressive video quality. Last October purchased #314. Only 85.000 kilometers. All stock. Love the car. Hello from Canada.

Great video! I had a 96 Eagle Talon, 2004 Eclipse 4 cylinder, 2007 Eclipse GT. I miss those cars, wish they still built them.

Mitsubishi eclipse syder V6 GTS rules. Got one 2003

Bud because you are definitely giving me some great ideas for my future Mitsubishi Eclipse 3d gen and ya I have plans on making it stupid fast

3G fans rise up

Well done! Heartwarming and very professional production. I was riveted till the end. Fabulous editing too! Sorry you lost your Dad (mentor). I too know that feeling. I have a very similar story. Dad was a Ford guy tho. I see your dad was open to other brands. He molded my life into what it’s become. I love Mustangs and out of my some 180 automobiles in my lifetime, I’ve had about 15 Mustangs. I too owned a Bullitt (2008) should have kept it. It’s one of the ones that “got away” sadly. I am ready to find another soon. Thanks a million for sharing your story! ❤

its a nice car ....I've got an 04 Mitsubishi eclipse spyder gs 😁💕

Its a Cool-hatch-back with sports car heritage

I clicked on it for the car, but really enjoyed the story telling. Wow well done. 👍👍

I'm the owner of the same color Eclipse!😉👍

Great story

Definitely motivating bro I’m looking into dohc swap and turbo for my rs. Do you remember where you got your turbo parts?

I want this car lol

I currently have a 2008 Bullitt, 99400 miles. Pushing 450ish hp. Super loud and very proud letting the American beast scream. Love this car.

Here 700 subscribers thank for making me have some inspiration for my 3g

🤍

hi Don ! I love Video and music , what 's the music please ? Thanks

Still one of my fav cars I’ve ever owned and all I did was a CAI and exhaust lol

Funny how 2 cars I'm crushing on end up in the same video.

i bought a 3g RS recently its my first car i bought on my own. i think the only thing i really hate about this car tbh is how hard it is to find say OEM parts like the dash board since mine is cracked mostly just interior stuff. i can get aftermarket parts but that isn't something im looking at rn.

I own eclipse but dash is like from the worst plastic you can ever imagine.. It's nice to drive but this dash demotivates me to go on with tuning.. there is 3000GT for example which is way better..

Very similar to the 07/08 Shelby GT. I think my 07 SGT has the best sound/ I think he used Borlas/ Yours is a very deep sound /NEVER SELL, EVER, I don't care about a baby , or dfown payment on a house. JUST KEEP IT!!. Per horse power , they are wicked fast, and my car is only 2nd and 3rd when I attract ""trigger moments" You may want to go for the shelbt 3.55 rear end- yeah it sopunds uniqiu

Love this

Dein Bericht und deine Geschichte gefällt mir sehr gut, alles gut gemacht. Ich fahre selber einen Bullitt 2008 in Germany, Wiesbaden.

I have a 2000 RS eclipse I was wondering what Turbo do you got on your wears because I've been looking for a Turbo for the 16 valve and I cannot find one and I would love to put one on it and I had the car 10 years now and still can't find a turbo that if where it is a 4 cycle

GREAT VIDEO ! thanks Don 👍

I have the same car ♥️
