[h=1]2001 Mustang Bullitt Specs, Colors, & Horsepower[/h]
Posted 11/30/2017 by Jason Konieczny
Check out all of the information you ever wanted to know about the famous 2001 Mustang Bullitt! Colors, production numbers, horsepower ratings and much more!
[h=4]2001 Mustang Bullitt History[/h]
The Bullitt Mustang. The iconic car has now become one of the more sought after New Edge Mustangs and will just increase in its popularity as the year’s progress. This is Ford’s Tribute to Steve McQueen and the 1968 GT390 that chased down that wily Black Charger in the 1968 movie BULLITT.
The differences between the Standard GT and the Bullitt are subtle but make a world of difference! Three colors were uses, Black, True Blue, and of course Dark Highland Green. This 275 horsepower Bullitt was tighter and more swift than the Standard GT which makes this car quite fun to drive in its stock trim!
Many of the Concept Car items such as the Rear Bumper fascia could not be reproduced in the time allotted before production. The Bullitt prototype Rear Bumper fascia was eventually used on the 03 Cobra rear bumper design. SVT “borrowed” the design from the Bullitt Concept car. The seat design was taken from the 1968 Mustang seats which had vertical pleats. The concept steering wheel did not make production as it would have required extensive testing due to air bag restrictions. The Brushed Silver fuel door and Painted Red calipers were added to help the Bullitt stand out compared to the Standard GT and the Cobra Mustangs. The Retro Gauge Cluster and the Brushed Pedal design/placement were also important addition to the 1968 design. The design team also wanted to design an all new C-pillar but cost prevented this from happening. The final result was a C pillar that resembled the 94-98 C pillar.
Speaking of SVT “borrowing” the Rear Bumper fascia, the original design team wanted the 32-Valve DOHC Cobra Engine instead of the SOHC 2V engine to be the heart of the Bullitt but SVT had ownership of the engine. Availability of Cobra engines was another concern. Distinct brand separation had to be maintained between the GT, Bullitt, and Cobra cars so that was another reason for the Cobra engine staying put in the SVT Mustangs. As a result, the Bullitt received the cast aluminum, long runner Ford Racing intake manifold to increase the Horsepower, improve the torque curve, as well as add to the cars uniqueness. Under drive pulleys and a larger alternator were also added to the Bullitt.

A Total of 5582 were made but the numbers go up 5601. These numbers includes 3 prototypes of which the McQueen family received four cars. These Special Bullitt’s were given specific Stickers that read "McQueen 1, McQueen 2, McQueen 3, and McQueen 4". The McQueen family Bullitt’s were included in the 5,582 final production number but they were NOT the very first Bullitt's produced. They were made during the regular production run.

Certificate of Authenticity for Car obtained from Ford Racing by sending the VIN number along with $45.

Nice certificate, I have ones for the Raptor and the GT350 , worth the investment.
Just a suggestion, I took a couple of colour copies of the certificate and laminated them....framed one for the garage, framed another to display at car shows.
It allows you to keep the original document stored in mint condition, but still be able to enjoy the certificate without worrying about ruining it.
Colour printers/copiers these days are so good, you can't tell the difference other than maybe the weight of the paper its on, and if its framed, no one will be any the wiser.
Add in an 8 x 11 calendar pic of your ride and it displays really nice.

I did exactly that, made 2 colour copies and had them laminated. I keep one of the laminated copies in the BULLITT and display it on the dashboard at car shows, and the car guys actually take the time to read it.The Original is framed and in my Man Cave.
01 BULLITTS had 2 stickers containing the BULLITT Production number installed during assembly at the Dearborn Assembly Plant. One under the carpet beneath the rear seat on drives side, the second one on the drivers side strut tower under hood. When I bought the car in 2011, the under hood sticker had faded some and the number was no longer legible. I found the 2nd sticker under back seat and got my BULLITT number, 2058. Ford made replacement stickers available around 5 years ago. I was able to obtain one with the assistance of my Local Ford Dealership. Rather than install it under hood and risk it fading in another 10, 20 years, I decided to install it on the framed Certificate of Authenticity.
