An Iconic Ride: The Ford Mustang GT Bullitt from the Second Generation
The displayed model car in 1/18 scale, made by the well-known brand Greenlight, is based on the Ford Mustang GT Bullitt from the second generation, produced between 1967-1968. The original car was designed by Joe Oros, who played a big role in shaping the cool look of both the first and second generations of the Mustang. With the second generation, Oros refined the concept, giving the car both elegance and a sporty, aggressive edge. The Ford Mustang hit the market for the first time in 1964, kicking off the "Pony Car" class. The second generation got a sportier design and beefed-up engines. A standout of this model is the famous GT Bullitt, which is known for not just its performance but also its iconic status thanks to its movie appearances.

Tech and Design of the Original
The Ford Mustang GT Bullitt is famous for being associated with a 6.4-liter (390 cubic inch) V8 engine that cranked out an impressive 320 horsepower. This beast of a car was a prime example of contemporary engineering, fitted with a 4-speed manual transmission that delivered an unmatched driving experience. One of the coolest features of the original was its enhanced suspension tuning, which was all about making the car more dynamic and fun to handle. For many, the "Highland Green Metallic" paint job is the standout trait of this Mustang. The thrilling chase scenes from the film helped establish this color scheme well beyond the automotive world.
A Piece of Movie History: The Mustang in Bullitt
This Mustang hit legendary status because of its role in the film Bullitt from 1968. In one of the longest and most famous chase scenes in movie history, the car is driven by the character Frank Bullitt, played by Steve McQueen. The film showcases Bullitt chasing after a Dodge Charger through the streets of San Francisco, demonstrating the Mustang's powerful performance and agile handling. This cinematic moment firmly established the Ford Mustang GT as an icon. Even today, this ride draws in both film buffs and car enthusiasts alike.
