Why did you buy your Bullitt?

[Stangnut]

Nothing more to understand...it was that or the program would have been canceled. I am glad the decision was made to push ahead. Some people, like me, didn't even know about the heritage tie when it first came out. Selling a unit to that kind of buyer is more likely to happen on the basis of color. I also think they should all been green, but it's now a part of the Bullitt Mustang experience to have color choices

You didn't know about the tie to movie? Surely I'm not reading that right.

At the time the 2000 Bullitt Concept was shown, I had not heard of the movie! It was only because of that concept I became aware.

To transform it!

Here are a couple shots from our West Coast Tour with the vehicle & taking it to multiple events:

God, I love that car. Just perfect.

I'd been considering purchasing a Mustang for the last few of years. Was about to order a 2018 GT premium when I heard that Ford was going to make a 2019 50th anniversary Bullitt with a limited number. That was a big part, but the color, 6 speed manual with the cue ball added to the allure. The extra ponies, PP1 package, red Brembos, retro black wheels, no badging other than the faux gas cap, and the fantastic exhaust note made it the car for me.

I knew I wanted to get back into a Mustang after the maintenance headache from the Challenger. Had delayed pulling the trigger because of all the leather sag I was seeing in the GT Premium seats. Sat in a Bullitt and a GT premium back to back at knew the leather was better and wouldn’t sag as much. Everything else was what I was gonna get in a GT -PP1, Nav, Magneride. Part of me still wants Race Red paint though lol

Here is the latest video on the Steve McQueen Edition - pretty cool stuff!

Been a Steve McQueen fan since I was little, saw all his movies. He died when I was in high school. The Bullit & Vanishing Point are arguably the two best movie car chase scenes in history. I have owned mustangs since the ‘70’s and when the opportunity came to own another #’ed car. I took it. Was skeptical about the black, but lower production #’s mean possible better value retention. But the black looks pretty bad ass!

The Shelby wheels look fine, but they're ridiculously heavy. Like walking around with ankle weights.

Shelby’s are... CS11’s... Roughly 35lbs for the 20x9.5 and 38lbs for the 20x11. These are flow-formed wheels, all independently tested to J2530 strength/durability standards.

What are your weights on the McQueen wheels??

I'm sorry to dig up an old thread, but I couldn't resist replying. They aren't that heavy. They're lighter than OEM wheels, especially considering the Shelby wheels are bigger. Of course they're not as light as fully forged, and more expensive wheels. Shelby wheels do sell forged wheels too I believe. Also the weights for the CS11's are actually 27.8 lbs for the 20x9.5 and 29 lbs. for the 20x11.

Those are perfect! If only I was just as lucky as you were to stumble upon those wheels.
