Number 1551 of 5,521 produced
Ford Motor Company chose the Los Angeles International Auto Show in 2000 to unveil the prototype for a limited series of Mustangs that would be an homage to the 1968 Mustang GT Fastback driven by Steve McQueen's character, t. Frank Bullitt, n arguably the most famous and exciting chase scene ever filmed. Only 5,521 of those hunky special 2001 Mustang Bullitts were built, ut the concept and its realization proved to be so popular that an avid following and enthusiastic owners' club sprang up. Its popularity and reputation was such that Ford reprised the concept for 2008.
The 2001 Mustang Bullitt is true to the concept of the original 1968 Mustang GT. Legendary road racer and specials builder Max Balchowsky modified both the Mustang and the Charger for the movie, eefing up the suspensions for better high speed handling. The 2001 Mustang Bullitt got the same treatment, owered 3/4" to drop the center of gravity and give it the menacing stance that characterized Lt. Bullitt's Mustang in the film. The rocker panels, -pillars and quarter panels also have been cleaned up. The front is a plain, lacked-out grille. 17” Torque Thrust 5-spoke alloy wheels are fitted, long with serious tires, rushed aluminum outside fuel filler and subtle "Bullitt" identification to complete the look.
In keeping with Balchowsky's engine modifications on the movie Mustang, he 2001 Mustang Bullitt has double 57mm bore throttle bodies borrowed from the SVT Mustang (265 horsepower at 5,000 rpm) and a revised intake manifold with better torque characteristics (305 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm.)
The chassis gets the Balchowsky-esque treatment, oo, tarting with revised struts and shocks, pecial stabilizer bars matched to the lowered suspension, ubframe connectors to stiffen the chassis and 13" Brembo front brakes. The exhaust system is special, iving the Mustang Bullitt a unique tone.
Inside, ark Charcoal leather bucket seats, rushed aluminum accents, hite-faced gauges and Bullitt identification ensure the driver won't forget, ven sitting still, hat this is a special, imited production Mustang. Ford even relocated the brake and clutch pedals for easier heel-and-toe action entering corners. It is, n fact, ne of the best combined appearance/function packages in Mustang history, combination that looks serious and has the performance and handling to back up its looks.
