Ford Mustang GT 390 – Bullitt’s Ride
The 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390 became an instant icon thanks to its appearance in the movie Bullitt. The Mustang was a pony car but in this trim level, it had a massive 390 cubic-inch V8 engine under the hood. Bullitt was a film that had tremendous popularity, and the car was the main reason for that. The GT 390 showed the world that the Mustang was still potent enough to compete with the newfound muscle cars of the time (via America’s Car Museum).
The Mustang itself had one of the best launches in automotive history, but it was the special edition cars that made the difference. Enthusiasts know that the Bullitt is a quintessential classic in the Mustang catalog. When you think about the iconic cars from the 1960s, the Mustang Bullitt is at the top of the list.
