The Ford Mustang Bullitt has long been one of the most famous movie cars in history, decades after it originally appeared in the film of the same name starring the legendary actor Steve McQueen. As such, every iteration of the Ford Mustang Bullitt has gone on to gain collector status at some point, and that includes the New Edge generation model. In fact, we’ve seen a pair of 2001 models surface for sale as of late – one with under 5k miles, and another with 15k miles – but this new sighting undercuts both of them in that regard.
This particular 2001 Ford Mustang Bullitt – which is listed for sale at Bring a Trailer – has just 657 miles showing on the odometer, in fact, and as one might imagine, has spent most of its life in storage after being sold new at De Lacy Ford in Elma, New York. It’s also one of just 5,582 Bullitts built for the 2001 model year, as well as one of 3,041 finished in the iconic shade dubbed Dark Highland Green. Other than a scratch on the front-left fender, there are no noted flaws marring that finish, either.
Otherwise, everything that makes the New Edge Ford Mustang Bullitt special is present and accounted for, including a brushed-aluminum fuel door, Bullitt badging, a hood scoop, a black honeycomb grille, 17-inch aluminum five-spoke wheels, and dual exhaust outlets. Inside the cabin, this pony car is fitted with a Dark Charcoal interior with leather seats, air conditioning, cruise control, a brushed aluminum shift knob, Bullitt door sills, and cassette stereo with an in-dash six-disc CD changer.
Power comes from the naturally-aspirated Ford 4.6L V8, factory-rated to produce 260 horsepower and 302 pound-feet of torque, which flows to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. In amazing condition and packing plenty of movie star appeal, it’s safe to say that plenty of suitors will probably line up to bid on this beautiful and extremely low-mile Bullitt – and rightfully so.

I am the original owner of 2001 Bullitt #01102. I drove her for ten years straight as my daily V8 commuter car and had the most fun commuting during those times. She has 135,000 on her now after I retired her to the stable (garage) at the ten year mark. I still have her and have now embarked on a refreshening to keep her reliable so that The Wife & I can use her as a road trip car now that I am newly retired. I figure $12-14k is what it will take to keep her (the car, not The Wife [she’s way more expensive]) reliable and safe to use for long-distance trips.
Dang it people, drive your freaking cars & enjoy them!! These cars are not going to make you millions on down the road, so enjoy them as intended!
Yeah man! I sold my 2003 Mustang GT convertible 2 years ago with 135K miles (still had the original clutch and could still put down rubber between gears). Also sold my supercharged Crossfire SRT-6 with the same miles, and bought a 2010 Corvette Grand Sport convertible. The previous owners only put 16K miles on it in 12 years but I am driving it. I can’t understand these people that buy these cool cars and just let them rot in the garage.
