No 5.0 badge on fender, correct wheels, spoiler delete, right color all prove it's the real deal to me. They wouldn't market a car that people can't buy.
Sorry- I'm probably wrong (and hoping so) but your missing the point. It is NOT about marketing a specific car but marketing the Mustang with a heritage connection. They run a modern Bullitt....ripping through the streets and then have a look-a-like actor get out and comment about the 2018..power, handling etc....the point being that the 2018 is a rip roaring road carving car and they use the Bullitt theme as a attention grabber.

Ford did this with the 05 and the non-Bullitt Bullitt ad with McQueen (from the movie and a digital recreation) they also did it with with a 2006 black/gold Hertz Shelby GT when those cars went to Hertz in 06 (not the public) and the cops running around in it in a fake chase scene...It is called "Police Chase" and was part of the Ford Bold Moves campaign (you can find both on YouTube).

Ford never ran a TV ad for the 01 or 08/09**. Doesn't mean they won't but I think they are looking at a bigger picture and trying to tie in history. It also becomes one big trial balloon...use such an ad to push/introduce the capabilities of the 18 model and if folks scream loud enough for 'that' car- maybe build it.

** we also have a single still picture. Was it a still shoot or a 'moving' commercial shoot. Any retired old fart members in Chicago on the forum (saying that with all kindness--old retired fart hopefully with free time). The city has to have a permitting process and a liaison for the film industry (big money maker for major cities)...someone had to get a permit (public record) for either type of shoot. A permit record hunt down at City Hall might prove interesting.

I agree what you're suggesting is totally possible, just unlikely with all the other things suggesting this is real in the past year. I think this looks like just a photo shoot, because of the lack of equipment. Very similar in location to this shoot:

Yup and great catch on the location.... looks like 'still' equipment (single guy with a nikon/canon) and on a budget with that sophisticated little step ladder for some elevation shots. A still shoot screams specific car (Bullitt) vs an video ad aimed at the larger "mustang" theme.

I suspect pricing in the 48-52k range.
Really stumped by the brakes. If it’s really got standard brakes I’d guess it’ll be no more than a Premium PP1 car.

Matt you like a cruiser anyway. Standard suspension with an appearance package in bonerfied green. Come on man whats not to like?
Oh yeah, I wouldn’t mind at all. I just assumed PP1 since even the 2015 50th LE had basically the PP on it. But yeah, I want mine as comfortable as possible for my cross country road trip to San Francisco eventually haha :headbang:

The bullitt should have some engine mods too.

I really hope ford doesn’t just throw some green and emblems delete. A 5.2 NA would be so sweet as a precursor to the GT500

Looks awesome. Cant wait for the announcement in the near future. I hope to God they dont ruin it with tacky stickers, and emblems, and plaques, and serial numbers......Make it a premium PP1. Manual only.

Matt, if you’re coming to the bay make sure to stop by cars and coffee canepa. Hands down the best C&C where they provide donuts and coffee for free. Gotta check their 2018 schedule.

Even if you filter out quite a bit of that nasty yellow lighting it still looks pretty green to me :thumbsup:

Nice find, hopefully they finally reveal it at NAIAS. Too bad the chance that it's coming to the europe is pretty low
