20 Rarest Ford Mustang Special Edition Models

3. 2003 Ford Mustang Mach I

The early 2000s saw the redesign of the fourth-generation Mustang as well as the introduction of some interesting, powerful versions. And one of those is the Mach I, which featured a retro-inspired graphics package and new colors. Also, it had an upgraded engine and exhaust. Clearly, the Mach I from 2003 was a loving homage to the fire breathing Mach I from the late ‘60s and early ‘70s.

Ford tuned the 4.6-liter V8 engine to deliver 305 HP and 320 lb-ft of torque, which went to the rear wheels over a six-speed manual gearbox. The 0 to 60 time was swift at 5.6 seconds, but the coolest detail was those gorgeous retro-inspired five-spoke wheels. The ‘03 Mach I was a one-year model Ford produced from 2003 to 2004. The total production number was 6,500 cars, making it a collector’s item and quite possibly a valuable Mustang in the future.

2. 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt

When the retro-looking masterpiece of design saw the light of day in the 2005 Mustang, fans of the legendary pony car were ecstatic. The new car not only looked fabulous but it also introduced new levels of power and performance. However, its retro look opened the doors for numerous special editions that mimicked the fantastic Mustangs from the past.

Ford again couldn’t resist, so in 2008, they presented the new Bullitt Mustang. Just as before, it was dark green with a blackout grille. It came with American Racing wheels and a few mechanical modifications. The 4.6-liter V8 engine pumped 315 HP and 325 lb-ft of torque. And that was enough to launch the Highland Green Mustang coupe to 5.0-second 0 to 60 mph times. Of course, they produced the 2008 Bullitt Mustang in limited numbers, so it has a collector’s car appeal.

1. 2018 Ford Mustang Bullitt

One of the biggest Mustang legends is Steve McQueen’s Highland Green 1968 Fastback they used in Bullitt, a 1969 cop movie. The movie became famous for its chase scenes. For decades, this car represented one of the coolest Mustangs in the world. Ford couldn’t resist using it for special versions, so they released three Bullitt Mustangs. They included one in 2003, one in 2008 and one in 2018 as a 2019 model.

Ford has based all their Bullitt special versions on the GT V8 model featuring special green paint, dark wheels, power upgrades, and numerous trim changes. All three are highly collectible, desirable cars as well as a big part of Mustang history. The latest one is a 480 HP street fighter they dressed in that recognizable dark green color with sub-four-second 0 to 60 mph times.

These are the 20 rarest Ford Mustang special edition models Ford has produced. Of course, there will be more in the future, but these are the ones that are highly collectible. So, if you want one, be sure to act fast, as their prices are going up while their availability is going down.
