Thanks for posting this up Batgirl. I also like the touches that pay respect to the original '68 Mustang such as the three-section taillights and the black alloys, and it is certainly a better version than the 40th anniversary edition that I saw at the Brooklands Double Twelve event back in 2008 where the Bullitt references were limited to the steering wheel boss and the extra strut-brace under the bonnet: I still wouldn't turn it down if offered it though... Sam.

Handsome motor!! Would have had drum brakes at the back in those days and in fact a lot of big block muscle cars even had drums at the front ....discs and powerbrakes( so servo assisted) ...were both optional on things like Chargers etc ....😂😂😂. All about the power.....who cares about stopping !!😳😂

All about the power.....who cares about stopping !!😳😂 Thats surprising I thought it was over here that was behind the curve in all that kind of automotive development stuff. My mate had a early mini with drums all round and the brake fade on that could be scary So I can imagine what a big heavy old 7 litre motor was like to stop on drums all round. Bit of the old going on
