Ford Motor Company had ambitious plans for the 2005 model year. This year the company launched its broadest lineup of new cars in decades and perhaps even more significantly, its new Mustang. Americans had been in love with the Mustang for 41 years now and the retro version Mustang was eagerly awaited. Although almost all new, the styling was a reprise of the original short deck-long hood combination that started the Pony Car craze of the mid 'sixties. Here was the bodyside scoop, from the '65, the dashboard reminiscent of the 1967, the greenhouse shape from the 1968, and the nose from 1969. In short, the objective was to "...bring back everything that was right about the best Mustangs..." as stated by J Mays, Ford's Group Vice President of Design.

 

The rear-quarter glass was a retro cue that also satisfied a modern functional necessity. The original single side window of the 1967-68 fastbacks looked snazzy but created a long, solid sail panel that shut out light to the rear seat and blocked driver vision. The triangular windows on the 2005 solved those problems while recalling the design of the iconic '66 Shelby® GT 350. Underneath, the new Mustang had its own platform, for the first time not sharing one with an existing Ford product.

 

The new S197, a purpose-built muscle car chassis, was new from the ground up. 2005 also introduced a redesigned suspension, revised power train, state of the art ergonomics and modern safety features. Now it can truly be said that the legacy of the Mustang will continue into the next century. Franklin Mint Precision Models is proud to present the 2005 Ford Mustang GT, an authentic, fully detailed die-cast model.

1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 - Limited edition, The Franklin Mint

Say "hello" to the Boss of Bosses. Built for the track, the Boss 429 was born to tear up the streets. And with its whopping 429 V-8 engine, that's exactly what it did. Now, it's set to do the same to your collection. This precision-engineered replica has it all: distinctive grille and hood scoop, detailed undercarriage, fully instrumented dash, and the full monty of working features--doors that open and close, functional suspension, and steering and road wheels that turn. Big, bad, beautiful--Boss!

 

It was the king of the big blocks--The 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429. The monster engine was originally designed for the racing circuits. Ford Motor Company first produced the car in 1969, each car being hand-assembled. From January through July 1969, a total of just 859 were produced. In 1970, you could have taken delivery of a brand-new 1970 Boss 429 for under $6,000. Today, the sky's the limit for these coveted and rare beauties. It's no wonder this car was assembled with such great pride by the people producing it--and who must have realized they were producing a run of exotic, sequentially numbered Fords that would one day become a great American classic.

2008 Mustang BULLITT GT - STEVE MCQUEEN Commemorative Edition, Limited Edition, The Franklin Mint

A Tribute to the King of Cool 

It's a car STEVE McQUEEN would have been proud of. Celebrating 40 years since Lieutenant Frank Bullitt took us for the ride of our lives. Ford Motor company issued a special anniversary edition Ford Mustang carrying the same aggressive looks of the famous '68 GT that roared through the streets of San Francisco chasing two hit-men in a "Tuxedo Black" 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Magnum. Now, this incredible tribute car can be yours in a fantastic precision scale die-cast replica issued in a strictly Limited Edition of just 5,000 pieces worldwide.

 

Your precision-engineered model matches every spectacular detail of the actual 2008 Ford Mustang BULLITT. The interior has been faithfully re-created, down to the fully instrumented dash and Black Charcoal upholstery. Naturally, the awesome 315hp has been replicated with uncompromising attention to the smallest detail. We have even re-created the BULLITT gun-sight graphic on the fuel cap, an enduring tribute to the motion picture that ignited a legend!

 

No question: The Big Screen has seen its share of great chase scenes through the years.

 

No question: The car chase is the perfect "vehicle" for the white-knuckle excitement of a high-speed pursuit, especially through crowded city streets.

 

No question: The chase scene from the 1968 Steve McQueen classic BULLITT set the standard against which all others are measured--the undisputed champ--the definitive masterpiece.

 

No contest! To mark the 40th anniversary of BULLITT and of the car chase to end all car chases, Ford Motor Company unveiled a special Limited Edition Mustang BULLITT, combining the breakneck spirit of the movie with the latest technology derived primarily--and not surprisingly--from Ford race cars.

 

Faithful to the original model driven by McQueen in the motion picture, Ford designers stripped virtually all badges and insignia from the '08 anniversary model. In absentia: the iconic chrome pony typically displayed on the mesh grille, as well as all scoops and spoilers traditionally identified with Mustang styling. Completing the picture--the same Highland Green paint job used on the original '68 BULLITT.

 

The 2008 Ford Mustang BULLITT packs a wallop under the hood in the form of a potent 4.6 V-8 engine generating 315hp @ 6,000 rpm. Ford engineers transplanted the live rear axle system from the Shelby GT-500-- to add even more punch during acceleration. BULLITT owners were advised by Ford to burn premium fuel; however, an innovative spark ignition permits the use of regular with no fear of damaging the engine.

1968 Mustang GT Fastback - Limited edition, The Franklin Mint

In 1968, Ford continued with the restyled, larger and heavier, higher Mustang platform that was introduced in the previous model year. With the horsepower war raging, Ford was forced to up the ante, using its existing big blocks in the new ’67 — ’68 offering. To accommodate the dimensionally larger engine, the body had to be widened 21/2 inches, resulting in a 2" wider front and rear track. This not only gave the car more sure-footed handling, but added to its already menacing stance.

 

For the ’68 model year, Mustang received a mild facelift. The most notable change was the deletion of the ’67 simulated vents in front of the rear wheels, replaced with a cleaner-looking vertical chrome trim bar integrated into the side C-scoop. Adding the sleek, profiled fastback body option made for the perfect blend of aggressive and elegant design. The 390 engine would be basically the same as ’67 with a new name, GT390, and a token 5 additional horsepower. While some pony car enthusiasts complained about the larger chassis and body, Ford answered the nay-sayers with higher ’68 Mustang production numbers than comparable ponies like Camaro, GTO and Barracuda.

 

The Franklin Mint is proud to offer its 1:24 scale tribute to the 1968 Mustang GT Fastback — with all the unique features of the original, including a fully detailed GT390 engine and sizzling Sixties-style interior.
