In 2001, Ford revived a legend. Inspired by Steve McQueen's iconic 1968 Mustang from the movie *Bullitt*, the limited-edition 2001 Mustang Bullitt brought heritage styling and performance upgrades to the SN95 platform. Offered exclusively in three colors—Black, True Blue, and the especially coveted Dark Highland Green—only 5,582 units were produced. Ford enhanced the GT’s 4.6L SOHC V8 with a unique intake manifold and exhaust tuning, giving the Bullitt a factory-rated 265 horsepower. The suspension was lowered, subframe connectors were added for rigidity, and the car featured 17-inch Bullitt-specific wheels with larger brakes. Each unit came with exclusive styling cues, including brushed aluminum fuel doors, retro-style seats, and a unique serialized Bullitt ID badge.
This particular example, chassis #1FAFP42X51F253214, stands out not just for its iconic paint code PY (Dark Highland Green) and KW (Charcoal Bullitt leather) interior, but for its remarkable originality and preservation. Originally delivered through Jerry Alderman Ford in Indianapolis and built on August 6, 2001, this Bullitt has had five meticulous owners, each contributing to its legacy without compromising its authenticity. With only 20,319 actual miles, verified by both a clean CarFax and service records, it remains in stunningly original condition—paint, interior, and even the engine bay present as they did over two decades ago.
The fourth and fifth owners were particularly discerning. The most recent seller, a collector from Arizona, acquired the car from Arrived Motors in Virginia after reviewing 80–100 detailed photos and videos. Over his 1.5–2 years of ownership, he added just over 1,500 miles, primarily driving it between Phoenix and Flagstaff. The Mustang was garage-kept and part of a multi-car collection, its use limited due to space constraints. Fortunately, it never sat idle—every feature remains fully functional, from the factory Mach 460 sound system to the cold-blowing A/C and smooth-operating Tremec TR3650 5-speed manual.
Mechanically, it retains its original numbers-matching 4.6L V8, stock exhaust components, and 3.27 limited-slip rear axle. The engine bay still houses the original Motorcraft battery. Underneath, the factory subframe connectors, sway bars, and hydroboost four-wheel disc brakes underscore Ford’s performance intentions. Tire updates were made recently with General G-Max 245/45ZR17 rubber dated 2022, mounted on the correct 17-inch OE Bullitt wheels.
Inside, the KW-code interior remains all original, showing only minor seat wear typical for the age and mileage. Features like the 6-way power driver seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and tilt column remain in excellent condition, complementing the car’s fully operational gauges, windows, locks, mirrors, and cruise control.
Included with this Bullitt are key collector documents: a Ford Performance Certificate, Deluxe Marti Report confirming its factory specs, owner's manual, and both functional key fobs. The car is a true time capsule—ready to drive, show, or simply admire.
