My 2008 Mustang Bullitt History:
(Click the thumbnail pictures below to see them full sized.)
May 6, 2023
Why did I buy this car? I liked my 2022 Mustang Mach-E GT but I was missing the engagement of the manual transmission but I wanted to keep the fuel savings of the Electric vehicle. I decided to go to two cars. I purchased a new 2022 Ford Escape SE PHEV from Titanium Ford (formerly Hallmark Ford) from the great sales rep, Kal Hoonjan (kal.hoonjan@titaniumford.ca). It is my daily driver and gives me up to 60kms of all Electric drive and eventually purchased this 2008 Mustang Bullitt as my enjoyment car with the manual transmission I crave for. I look forward to taking this car to the car shows. Here is a collection of my first pictures of my car and the 2022 Escape.
2022 Ford Escape SE PHEV
2023 Mustang 2.3L High Performance with Handling Pkg in Race Red. Though the 2008 Mustang Bullitt is my 10th Mustang, it wasn't originally going to be it. Here is the story. When I bought the 2022 Escape SE PHEV as my daily driver, I eventually factory ordered a 2023 Mustang 2.3L High Performance for my manual transmission car. I factory ordered this car to book end my Mustang ownership by matching a modern version of my first Mustang, my 1979 Mustang Cobra in Bright Red with the first year of the 2.3L Turbo engine and with a manual transmission. It was my first new car I owned and the only factory ordered car I actually took delivery of. I never took delivery of this car because it didn't arrive when it was supposed to. The car was expected to arrive in late April but didn't arrive until the middle of June. If the car had arrived in late April, I would have been able to go to the first two car shows in May. Here are some pictures of the car I took and a new friend AJ took a quick video here of me driving it away on the test drive.

I upgraded the stock basic silver valve covers with the Black Ford Racing Coated 3V Cam Covers M-6582-FR3VBLK and had them installed by my Titanium Ford dealer. The mechanic Ian took these pictures during the install. Look how mint condition the valve train is, which is to be expected on a 5,600kms car, but it is still a 15 year old car. I also installed a new replacement OEM Air Filter which is a different colour now, not the Black colour. Also, the 15 year old original BF Goodrich tires have timed out, so I replaced them with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 235/50ZR18 Tires through Titanium Ford.

Upgraded the Kenwood Excelon DDX9907XR Audio System Head Unit today with some very cool features like front & rear cameras and OBDII connection thanks to the Visions Surrey Store. Here are some pictures of the install and update instrument panel picture showing 5,693.8kms on the car now and parked in the West Vancouver garage.

I decided to put back the original Air Filter to take some pictures with and detailed the Engine Bay.

I picked up my car today from Protex Vancouver where Luke and his team did a complete Xpel Ultimate Paint Protection film on my Bullitt. Fantastic job as usual by team. See the pictures below:

I decided to do some maintenance since the Bullitt is 15 years old. Titanium Ford replaced the Rear Diff Fluid, Engine Coolant, and Brake Fluid. I received the ultimate customer service with my Sales Rep, Kal Hoonjan, giving me a ride to work in one his cars after dropping of my Bullitt with Titanium Ford. See below:

I created a plate with the production build information of my 2008 Bullitt and mounted it with double sided tape to the front area of the shifter. I also purchased and installed a ProClip Phone holder which doesn't require any modifications to the dash to install. It just clips onto the top and bottom dash panel. See below pictures.
