Bullitt The Ford Mustang name has been closely associated with the film. In 2001, the Ford Motor Company released the "Bullitt" edition Ford Mustang GT. Another version of the Ford Mustang Bullitt, which is closer to resembling the original film Mustang, was released in 2008, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the film. A third version is planned for 2019. In 2009, Bud Brutsman of "Overhaulin'" built an authentic-looking replica of the Bullitt Mustang, fully loaded with modern components, for the five-episode 2009 TV series, "Celebrity Rides: Hollywood's Speeding Bullitt", hosted by Chad McQueen, son of Steve McQueen.
