My New Toy

[MarauderTJA]

Got a new stable mate for my Marauder. Absolutely love this car, having a five speed again and man does it handle. Has a lot of goodies standard. Hard to find as it is the 40th Anniversary of the 68 Steve McQueen movie.

Sounds real sweet under acceleration. Not going to do a thing to this car except keep it clean and polished:D.

Congrats! That is a sweet car....

For those born too late...

Bullitt is a 1968 American thriller film starring Steve McQueen. It was directed by Peter Yates and distributed by Warner Bros. The story was adapted for the screen by Alan Trustman and Harry Kleiner, based on the novel titled Mute Witness (1963) by Robert L. Fish (aka Robert L. Pike). Lalo Schifrin wrote the original music score, a mix of jazz, brass and percussion.
The movie won the Academy Award for Best Film Editing (Frank P. Keller) and was nominated for Best Sound. Writers Trustman and Kleiner won a 1969 Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for Best Motion Picture Screenplay.
Bullitt is probably best-remembered for its car chase scene through the streets of San Francisco, regarded as one of the most influential car chase sequences in movie history.[1] The scene had Bullitt in a dark "Highland Green" 1968 Ford Mustang 390 CID Fastback, chasing two hit-men in a "Tuxedo Black" 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Magnum.
In 2007, Bullitt was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

[MarauderTJA]

It has a plain Jane look, kinda like Demi Moore on steroids on GI Jane. Gets major looks from the Mustang guys though. I am enjoying her for sure. If someone wants to race me I tell I have to go and get my 4 door car.:lol:

[MarauderTJA]

Geez tom - you never seem to run out of toys. Nice ride.

Thanks Kenny. You only live once my friend. I intend to enjoy every day I have. Just love cars, always have, always will.:D

I ordered a bunch of Bullitt stuff on E-bay. Got a re-mastered DVD of the movie today. OF course I had to watch the chase scene again. Getting an orginial 1968 marque movie poster located in London, England of all places. Found and won the Revell model 1968 Mustang GT Bullitt movie car. And also found an 08 Mustang Bullitt model of my car. Cool stuff to go with the car and have in the garge..

Nah - ridden all of them. The Boulevard M109R has 1800cc, 127 HP and fits me rather goodly. Now I need financing - probably after my mortgage.

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

Thats a sweet stang, I would love to own that.

[offroadkarter]

Not do a thing eh? Whats that i spy ontop of the window? :D


Cmon at least replace the CB antenna with a short one :p

If you take the mufflers off you can have it louder than your... Mark LT :D

The charger loses 7 hubcaps in that scene :D

Steve McQueen also shifts like 400 times :D

[Mebot]

Steve McQueen also shifts like 400 times :D

that's because he's a badass and he can make a car shift as many times as he wants! :P

[CROWNMARAUDER]

Very nice mustang! I think Ford really nailed it with this package. I don't like the rear spoiler & fog lights in the grille on the regular GT's. This car just looks mean! :2thumbs:

[TAKEDOWN]

SexXxy... How many big one$ did you drop?

Well that is just my windshield banner. Has to be there, a rule.:D I short antenna also is onthe cards. Stock exhaust is staying on the car. Different than the GT's, I like it just the way it is. IF you want one of my banners let me know and I will send when up to you. You know what it says. Same as on the Mk LT.

[MarauderTJA]

SexXxy... How many big one$ did you drop?

Dealer invoice at $30k, with 0% financing with money down.

[rayjay]

Absolutely sweet! My favorite Stang. Keep it stock and 15 years, bookuu bucks. Congrats! :beer:

[RoyLPita]

:congrats:!!! Enjoy your new stablemate.

[MarauderTJA]

[/b]


What else do you have in your stable, errr garage?

08 Lincoln MK LT, 06 Custom Harley Road Glide and of course my Marauder. Oh yeah, forgot my 1985 Shortbed Chevy Silverado P/U.

[MarauderTJA]

Oh yeah, she will stay completely stock..

[Pops]

Till next week Tom! By the way a nice car you have there. I was about to pull the trigger on one of these till a 64 Fairlane got in the way!

[FrankJAG]

Wow, that was a great deal on a beauty of a car. Congratz she is sweet!

[MarauderTJA]

Till next week Tom! By the way a nice car you have there. I was about to pull the trigger on one of these till a 64 Fairlane got in the way!

John, this car WILL STAY STOCK really. And your Thunderbolt defins cool. I wear the t-shirt you gave me often. People ask me if it is mine. I always say, I wish.

[Raudermaster]

Sweet ride Tom! I'll never forget when I took one for a test drive about a year ago. I love the sound of that car. Will you be taking this up to the Cape instead of the Milan? :D

[MarauderTJA]

She is quiet until you get on it, which I like. She does sound real sweet and nothing like a GT, which surprises me. On taking it to the Cape this year, probably not. I will take the MK LT truck and probably bring my bike with me in the trailer.

[offroadkarter]

IF you want one of my banners let me know and I will send when up to you. You know what it says. Same as on the Mk LT.


NJ would find a way to fail me for it, trust me :rolleyes:

[Raudermaster]

They haven't failed you yet because you drive a DTR MM?











:D

[MarauderTJA]

They haven't failed you yet because you drive a DTR MM?

:D

NJ can fail you if you don't brush your teeth that morning. And then charge you an additional fee for failure of clean teeth:lol:.

Is it new or used? Looks nice. I had a buddy who lived in FLA that owned one of those, he loved it. Unfortunately he got killed in a small plane crash last fall, I wonder if thats his old car? I know, a big state.
