Here are some pics of my new to me 2001 Bullitt Mustang. I had to get rid of the Mach1 due to needing a mustang with a little better gas mileage because of my job.
It is DHG (Dark Highland Green), one of the rarest colors ever on a mustang.
Mods:
Optima Red Top Battery
Pypes O/R X-pipe
BBK M.I.L. Eliminators
Slotted Rotors with new pads
I will get better pictures when the weather is better.
Bullitt information and spec
The limited edition Ford Mustang Bullitt GT was available in 2001, designed to pay homage to the 1968 Steve McQueen movie Bullitt, in which McQueen's character, Lt. Frank Bullitt got behind the wheel of a Highland Green 1968 GT390 Fastback and chased two assassins in a black Dodge Charger R/T.
The 2001 Mustang Bullitt GT was available in three colors: Black, the new True Blue, and Dark Highland Green, borrowed from Ford's F-Series lineup. There were 3041 green, 1818 black, and 723 blue Bullitts produced. Dark Highland Green was not available on any other Mustang.
- Exterior features included a blacked-out corral around the pony in the grille, distinctive red brake calipers all around with a silver Mustang pony on the front calipers.
- The body got simple side scoops, a different 'c' pillar trim and a brushed aluminum fuel door.
Less is more sometimes and Ford deleted the rear spoiler and the front fog lamps. The 2001 Bullitt Mustangs also got a retro interior theme. The new seats were designed after seats from the 1960s, and were much more comfortable than the standard seats. The numbers in the gauge cluster were written in a tall, thin font like in the 1960s as well. The shifter got an aluminum ball and the shifter trim ring. The Bullitts had a different intake than the GT they were based upon, and the upgrades resulted in an additional five horsepower and nice sound and "BULLITT" was engraved on the sill plates.
Although Ford planned to produced 6500 Bullitts, only 5582 rolled off the line.

Engine and transmission modifications
- The new cast aluminum intake manifold has an increased runner diameter to maintain low-end torque and provide a broader power curve for increased top-end performance.
- A twin 57mm-bore throttle body replaces the GT 65 mm throttle body, allowing for quicker throttle response and increased peak flow.
- To reduce parasitic losses, the alternator pulley was increased to 66 mm and the water pump pulley was increased to 140 mm.
- The exhaust system has been retuned to increase flow approximately 20% and give the Bullitt a new distinct sound.
- All Mustang Bullitts have the new TR3650 transmission and clutch assembly that provides improved shift quality. A new 11-inch flywheel and clutch assembly have been added to increase torque capacity and reduce clutch pedal efforts.
