This 2001 Ford Mustang Bullitt GT might just represent the best classic car value out there for those who like to drive something distinctive and speedy. After all, this is a single-year package coupe. And this is even a two-owner car that has the right mix of care and investment to be the V8 five-speed collectible that you'll also love to drive.
The Bullitt edition Mustangs were all about attitude. We all know the movie car was green, but Ford also offered it in black, because it's the color the bad guys had (and that's really the attitude we wanted to see from McQueen anyway, right?) It also made it rarer with only 1,819 examples of the 5,582 Bullitt Mustangs painted this deep and dark hue. It's this level of uniqueness that has helped get it plenty of respect. This is an actual mileage car that shows all the right signs of the factory finish. Still, it retains an impressive gloss that makes this black look particularly striking. Good care is part of what happens when you have a garage-kept long-term first owner, and the only other owner continues the tradition of care with solid maintenance investments. So you can really see the details that make this a spiritual link to Steve McQueen's 1968 coupe. There was a special hood scoop, rear wing delete, a custom gas filler door, special badging, bright rolled exhaust tips, and torque thrust style wheels. It makes for a meaner Mustang with an irresistible appeal.
The interior has a cool look with some special Bullitt upgrades. This includes cool gauges with a vintage font, aluminum pedals, and retro-looking leather buckets with narrow pleats, just like the 1968 fastback. This is a driver's car, and so there is a little wear to the driver's seat, but overall there is an impressive style. The dash, door panels, center console, carpeting, and headliner all have the right care of a well-respected car. It's also loaded with the best features like power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, cruise control, power steering, a tilt wheel, cup holders, and cold-blowing air conditioning. And you just know your right hand is going to love resting on the billet shifter.
Under the hood is the Ford famous 4.6-liter V8. These are hardy and powerful, especially when looking this well-maintained. This was even treated to new filters and fluids recently. It fires up eagerly, and the upgraded Bullitt exhaust really delivers a nice V8 tune. Best of all, you are in complete control of this enhanced fuel-injected power and its rumbling soundtrack thanks to the five-speed manual transmission. Power steering, subframe connectors (another nice Bullitt addition,) four-wheel disc brakes with new calipers, and new sport tires are all about making sure you enjoy driving this limited-edition coupe.
The sale comes complete with maintenance records and service manuals. This is a rare pony car with a terrific pedigree. We all know McQueen was a driver, and this would be the one he'd drive. Call today!!!
