| Hello
I
am
English
Bob
and
welcome
to
my
2001
Mustang
Bullitt web site.
I started this web
page as a place to save some pictures I had been collecting of a
concept car, the limited edition 2001 Bullitt Mustang. Unlike some
other concept cars
this one was put into production and my collection of pictures kept
growing. I was not looking for a Mustang but this car struck an
emotional note
with me. When I was 12 my brother-in-law had a
1968 Fastback Mustang. It was a blue 289 stick shift, with black
interior. I spent a lot
of time with my sister and brother-in-law and we went all over London
in this awesome sounding car. It got to 120 mph but it rattled like mad
and it sounded like the doors were going to fall off but the engine
note more that made up for any faults. It was a good solid rust free
car and the sound of it
and the experience, stuck with me and ingrained something in my young
mind.
I feel the 2001
Bullitt Mustang, was made to pay homage to the era and the classic 1968
movie called Bullitt, in which Steve McQueen played the title role of
Lt. Frank Bullitt, a tough detective in San Francisco. His personal car
in the movie, was a 1968 Fastback Mustang. This movie was famous for a
iconic high speed car chase with his Fastback Mustang and Black
Charger. Because his personal car in the movie, was a green 1968
fastback Mustang, this has become distorted over time to be called the
Mustang in Bullitt to, The "Bullitt" Mustang, or the original Bullitt
Mustang.
The 2001 Bullitt
Mustang GT, is not a fastback or a 60's car but it pays homage or a
tribute to the movie, the chase and the era, so it was right to be
offered in
other colours, other than just green because it is NOT a copy of a car
it
can never be. In fact the 2001 Bullitt Mustang is the original Bullitt
Mustang, as it was the first car to be licensed through Warner
Brothers and the McQueen trust to bear the name and badge, "Bullitt."
This simple web page
is just for fun and to let visitors see pictures of this limited
edition car. There is also information on the 2001 Ford Mustang Bullitt GT, which was only available only in 2001.
The total production run of this understated and beautiful car was just
5582 units which broke down as, 3041 in Green,
1818
in Black and 723 in
True Blue. The green was unique to the Bullitt and not available
on any
other Mustang. True blue was also a new colour for 2001 but the blue
was available on other Mustangs as well. The black was available on the
Bullitt and other Mustangs.
