Gateway Classic Cars of Fort Lauderdale is pleased to present this
limited production 2001 Ford Mustang Bullitt GT Edition! Flashback
to 1968, when Steve McQueen starred in the movie "Bullitt", ripping
up the streets in San Francisco in his Highland Green 1968 Mustang
GT 390- alongside a black 1968 Charger R/T 440, sealing his place
in automotive history as one of the best automotive chase scenes
ever! The 1968 Ford Mustang GT "hero" car driven by Steve McQueen
in the legendary chase scene recently sold for $3.74 million-
highest price ever paid for a Mustang. Our Bullitt is one of only
3041 in Dark Highland Green. It is in excellent condition, with
only 2863 actual miles and includes a Marti Report, dealer
brochure, and window sticker. The Bullitt editions had many
differences, with a 3/4-inch lower ride height, larger sway bars,
specially tuned Tokico shocks and struts along with sub-frame
connectors. Stopping power comes from 13-inch rotors with dual
piston caliper at the front and 11-inch rear rotors with single
piston caliper. Both front and rear calipers are factory painted
red with the fronts having an embossed running horse. The wheels
were unique anthracite gray 17�8 torque thrusts that closely match
the 1968 car. The engine was built with an all new aluminum intake
with twin 57 mm throttle bodies that supply the low-end torque.
Ford also increased the pulley sizes of the alternator and water
pump to reduce parasitic losses. There are several subtle exterior
cues that add to the cleaner lines of the Bullitt. The grille's
running horse surround was blacked out, deleted fog lights, deleted
spoiler, solid mounted rocker panel splash guards, faux side scoop
is a flush fit panel, stainless fuel filler door, and the c-pillar
design goes straight down rather than curving towards the front.
The interior cues were specially designed to provide a mix of
modern and retro looks. The seats resemble late sixties-early
seventies pattern along with the white lit gauge cluster. The
aluminum shift knob, trim ring, door seal plates and door locks add
a nice modern touch. Finally, the pedals were aluminum with the
brake pedal closer to the accelerator for better heal toe shifting.
