My dad bought a crashed 08 mustang at auction 16k miles for $8000. However, we're trying to figure out specifically what type of mustang it is. Can someone help identify it? I've researched a little bit and I think it may be a Bullitt but I'm not sure

Those pictures are a bit vague. If it was a Bullitt, the 'fake gas cap' would have cross hairs and say BULLITT on it. That one looks like it was installed by a...er...foreigner. 8) Another placet to look for evidence of a Bullitt is under the hood. Bullitts had a strut tower brace that said Bullitt w/a unique serial number. In the cab, the steering wheel said Bullitt in the center. Look up the info using the VIN number, it doesn't lie...

Those wheels have GT 500 Shelby caps on them. The faux gas cap has the snake but I thought the real ones also said GT 500 on the sides of the snake in the black. The rear bumper looks like stock GT also plus no Shelby on the trunk lid..

Really need more pics. Engine....is it a normal 4,6 or does it have the supercharger on it like a Shelby?

It looks to me like a regular GT with some changes done to "look" like something it is not.
