Vehicle Description
2001 Ford Mustang Bullitt
Bullitt is a 1968 American action thriller film directed by Peter
Yates and produced by Philip D'Antoni. The picture stars Steve
McQueen, Robert Vaughn, and Jacqueline Bisset. The screenplay by
Alan R. Trustman and Harry Kleiner was based on the 1963 novel Mute
Witness. In the movie there is a nearly 11 minute chase scene in
which McQueen rumbles through various streets of San Francisco in a
green 1968 Mustang Fastback, and the rest is history.
For consignment, a 2001 Ford Mustang Bullitt with a title verified
9,310 actual miles, a one owner car that's been garage kept. One of
5,582 produced, this New Edge style Mustang has some unique
features reserved for the limited edition tribute to the 1968 chase
car. This car will come with the original window sticker and 2001
brochure.
Exterior
Nice straight rust free steel panels with their gaps very
consistent, all bathed in Dark Highland Green. This smooth design
includes an aggressive hood scoop, side cove faux ducts, and nicely
rounded fastback rear glass which melts into the small rear deck.
Window trim is black on the car and surrounds tinted glass. On back
the trio cluster of tail lights persists and dual exhaust now
protrudes from the bottom of the rear roll pan. Bullitt badging as
well as a simple GT on the front quarter is literally the only
bling on this car save for the galloping horse on the honeycomb
grille and BULLITT letter on the trunk lid. 17-inch gray Bullitt
wheels are on all 4 corners and the running horse also appears on
the red brake calipers. Last is a special aluminum body flush gas
filler cap. Imperfections include chin scrapes and noticeable paint
work on passenger's front fender, rocker molding, and front bumper
cover with body filler noted on the passenger door.
Interior
Inside the tributes to 1968 just keep on coming. Retro styled seats
with rounded tuck and roll inserts and nice smooth oversized
grabber sided buckets are noted inside for the driver and
passenger, all covered in charcoal gray leather. In back a 2+2 with
the same pattern also in leather and in great shape. Some very
minor wear noted on the entry point on the driver's seat. The
center console also in charcoal gray is ergonomically rounded just
like the seats and exterior design. The dash which has been
beautifully molded with now very rounded over twin eyebrows all in
charcoal is yet another tribute to the early versions. So are the
round gauges in the dash setup, only these take on a contemporary
flair. A nicely padded rally steering with galloping steed in the
center has touch controls to make things just a bit more
convenient. In the center of this dash are the climate controls,
and an AM/FM/6 CD radio, and of course the round metal knob topped
shifter. Black carpeting and black headliner are above and below,
and these are also in very good condition.
Drivetrain
Under the hood appears a wonderfully clean 4.6 liter SOHC V8, which
is fuel injected. On the back is a Tremec TR3650 5-speed manual
transmission coupled with a Ford 8.8-inch 3.27 Trac-Loc rear axle.
Power disc brakes consist of 13" rotors and dual piston calipers in
front, with 11.6 inch rotors in the rear.
Undercarriage
Typical and harmless surface rust colors parts of the rear axle,
driveshaft, and suspension components. The front which has been
factory lowered 3/4 inches from the standard GT, sports independent
coil springs, and on back a 4 link with coil springs. The dual
exhaust is original equipment and in good shape from the manifolds
to polished tips.
Drive-Ability
A turn of the key and you have one of the nicest sounding exhaust
tones you'll hear, here at Classic Auto Mall. Off to the test loop
where it demonstrated nice acceleration, good handling and on a
dime stopping which is bias free no matter how hard you push the
pedal in. All working and just a comfy modern interior. As expected
with a car with such low mileage, everything we tested functioned
as it should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these
functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot
guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your
purchase.
All in all, a very nicely preserved, low mileage version of the
retro Bullitt. And not to beat a dead horse, but Bullitt Mustangs
pass through Classic Auto Mall faster than one of Jerry Miculek's
practice rounds. So saddle up, keep your powder dry, and head on
over to Morgantown, Pennsylvania. Or simply call our helpful
staff!
