2001 Ford Mustang BULLITT - Tour/Test Drive/Revs/Acceleration

Tour and test drive of my stock 2001 Ford Mustang GT Bullitt Edition. Highway pulls and stock exhaust sound included.
This was a special-edition car based off the 1968 Steve McQueen movie "Bullitt" that was marketed below the Cobra but above the GT in the New Edge SN95 lineup.
There were other special edition Bullitts made in 2008, 2009, and then again in 2019.
The Bullitt package included green paint just like the movie car (although black and blue were optional), special suspension, upgraded V8 engine, unique exhaust tuned to sound like the movie cars', styling tweaks, and retro touches inside and out.
Made when it was for sale (has since been sold).
Figured I'd post it live so people could learn more about these cars.
Stay tuned for more car content coming soon from this channel!

First thing you do after you turn the car on is turn OFF the traction control. I miss my old Bullitt!

[@RetroCarsForever]

Yep, was part of my startup procedure!

[@carguy99]

I've had mine since new. 41,000 miles on it. They're fun!

[@JimS870]

Really cool car. I love the power to weight ratio and just fun factor of the 01 Bullitt. Really nice car, beautiful, looks so fun!

[@RetroCarsForever]

Thanks! And I agree...For this chassis and setup, I think it had the perfect amount of power.

[@lollol-xp4mc]

The power to weight ratio isnt that special but they are quick enough for me

[@oneslosnake2081]

Beautiful car Bud!

[@RetroCarsForever]

Thanks! Don't have it anymore, but have an equally beautiful Corvette now (see a new video about it soon).

[@lordflashheart3706]

That's a great plate, man.

[@RetroCarsForever]

Thanks! Thought really hard about that one...All the obvious personalized plates were taken so had to think outside the box!

Shhhh!

[@speedfiend925]

I have noticed these are running thousands more than an equivalent equipped GT. Is the extra cost worth it?

[@RetroCarsForever]

Absolutely. The Bullitt edition is much more than trim and a paintjob. Ford did A LOT of subtle enhancements to the styling, interior, suspension, exhaust, and engine that do a lot to transform the car into a sharper, more unique, classier vehicle than the standard GT. Drive them back to back and you'll be stunned how all the little changes add up. Plus, Bullitts are much rarer.

[@ChrisMFlorida]

That is a nice ride

[@RetroCarsForever]

Thanks. I sold it last year but I definitely enjoyed my time with it!

[@andye5573]

I love the way these cars look. I have an 01 Cobra. If I can find a nice condition Bullit in dark green or true blue for a decent price I'm buying it.

[@RetroCarsForever]

Agreed. New Edge Mustangs get a lot of flack for their "tacky" styling, but I think the Cobras, Mach 1s, and especially the Bullitts look great. The Bullitt community is pretty great, too. You won't regret it!

If you live in or near Michigan I know 2 for sale in real nice shape. One is blue and the other is green. Either can be had for around $8K

Did you ever have any issues with the engine ? Thanks

[@RetroCarsForever]

Not really, there was a small easily replaceable sensor that had to be swapped and that was it. I did replace the fluids and spark plugs once I bought it just as preventative maintenance. Really loved this engine! Strong, reliable, and sounded great.

[@mikeriv60]

[@RetroCarsForever]

Close- They are size 245/45R17, which are factory spec.

I been offered 50grand and I turned it down. I don't know if they will be more valuable than my supersnakes.But they will always be valuable and only time will tell

My Highland Green is for sale. Totally stock. 26k miles. I'm in N.C. close to Charlotte. Please tell the guy that offered you 50k that i'll sell for considerably less than that!

Sold last year. But the market for a decent running example is around 8k to 16k.

[@anthonylaudano9751]

There a great looking mustang but the only bad thing is there slow.But I may add one too my collection

[@RetroCarsForever]

Slow is relative...I thought the car was plenty fast for the city traffic I drove it in (you can see the traffic in the video, and that's LIGHTER than usual). If you like the Bullitt idea but want it to be faster, save up for the 2008 or 2019 versions, which are a good deal quicker. There are also plenty of mods for this gen that are pretty cost-effective, if you don't care so much about originality. A lot of Bullitt guys hot rod their cars.

[@anthonylaudano9751]

@@RetroCarsForever Believe me I am not bad mouthing the car .I have a 800hp gt500 and a couple supersnakes and I am used to the power of those monster's but just because the bullets aren't that fast there still a beautiful car.Besides my 4 shelbys I have in my collection I have a super clean low mileage 93 cobra and at best it's a high 13 second car but in my eyes the 93 cobra is one of the most iconic mustangs ever built . Basically I love all mustangs especially the 07 and 10 supersnakes.There so fast and collectable more and more every day.

[@RetroCarsForever]

@@anthonylaudano9751 Wow, those are some fast cars! Sounds like an awesome collection. I love the 93 Cobra, to my eyes one of the best looking Mustangs of all time.

[@anthonylaudano9751]

@@RetroCarsForever Yah man I have some pretty badass car's. But the 93 cobra really turns heads granted it has 20 thousand original miles original everything except for just exhaust and it may even turn as many heads as both of my supersnakes.I have a 10 grabber blue supersnake and my 07 427 Nascar edition convertible torch red supersnake.Iam really lucky to own these cars and a few others.I have a list of people that want my vibrant red 93 cobra and even though it continues to rise in value I don't think I am going to sell it. As long as I leave it stock and all original everything except for the exhaust it will continue to rise in value and I think my supersnakes will do the same.
