I love it when Ford Mustang Bullitts pop up for sale on our forums, because no matter what generation Mustang we're talking about, the Bullitt is one of the cooler trims out there.

This 2001 Ford Mustang Bullitt sure fits the bill.

There are only 52,000 miles on this one and it features an autograph from Scott Hoag, a lead engineer who helped shepherd the Bullitt to market.

It has all the goodies and is, of course, a manual. And it's the Dark Highland Green color. Oh, and it has the Mach 460 sound system.

It's been restored to (mostly) factory status by the previous owner, including a paint correction and new interior carpet.

There are four major mods: A short-throw shifter, a Ford Performance 3.73:1 rear-end, Ford Motorcraft shocks and struts, and rear-wheel spacers.

If you, the buyer, want to go all the way back to factory, the seller has those parts available.

If you're interested in this ride, you can click here to see more of it/more about it. It's listed for $19,500 in Danville, California.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I always thought the 03-04 Mach 1 was the best out of this era of Mustangs. I had an Azure blue 04 and loved it, the Cobra was out of reach for me but I thought the Mach was cooler anyway.

Namesakeone It should be a name that evoques the wild west, that emphasizes the go-anywhere nature of how an SUV should be used. Something like a wild animal, maybe something like a horse. I've got it! How about . . . Mustang! Oh, wait. They already did that, didn't they?
Slavuta There Used to be Pontiac Trans Sport.... That "Trans Sport" part has a totally new meaning these days
210delray You need to change the headline -- it's a 2025 model.
Jeff How about Aspire for a new subcompact crossover from Ford because it aspires to be bigger and its buyers would aspire for a better vehicle if they could afford it.
Jeff Carlos Travares wants to cut costs by 1/3. I don't see Chrysler or Dodge surviving too much longer especially since they are being literally starved for product. The success of the new Charger could extend Dodge a few more years but a failure might be a quick end to Dodge. I could see Stellantis moving more manufacturing for Jeep and Ram to Mexico which I believe will eventually be the only surviving brands of the old Chrysler. As for the Durango if it continues it will not be for too many more years it is an outdated product that I doubt will be redesigned especially when Jeep has a comparable product. Stellantis needs to address the high dealer inventory level by giving better incentives and low interest rates to clear excessive inventory.
