2001 FORD MUSTANG BULLITT - s/chrgd 397, 5 spd, V8, 27K, mi, mint cond in & out, Cobra brks, lowered, lthr, Mach stereo 6 CD, Blk, $17,900/obo yes thats a supercharged bullitt running 6psi pushing out 397 HP... sound good? i plan on offering either 16k or 17k what should i be watching out for when buying a SC'd car? how will i be able to tell if this is an authentic bullitt and not a GT with a bullitt fuel door and the bullitt rims? since im not the most knowledgeable about how the engine bay is supposed to look
Well it has a custom intake manifold but that can also be put on a GT. I figure you'd just have to look at the manufacturer's badge or whatever you call it.
The gauge cluster is different, it has red calipers, and it only came in true blue, highland green and black. So if its different from those, its probably either been wrecked, stripped and repainted, or its not authentic. They also received tokico shocks/struts, but those may very well have been replaced if this guy went as far as supercharging this thing in the first place. There is also a unique serial ID label attached so look for it.
ide buy it if i were you you could put a smaller pully in it and push more boost to take it over 400 WOOT! good buy i say!
im not touchin nothin on the car, well maybe after i have it for a couple years... but for the HP id be getting on this car with only 6psi i think that i should be somewhat quick
A S/C'ed limited production car with only 27k miles? I think you'd be screwing them for anything under $19k. There's a lot of subtle difference to confirm the authenticity of a Bullitt. Externally, the Bullitts have no sidescoops, just flat panels, and where the roofline meets the rear quarter panel the C-pillar behind the rear quarter windows sweeps a bit forward to flow with the body lines(instead of dropping straight down like all other 99+ cars save for the Mach I), and Eclipse-style fuel door. The exhaust tips even have a rolled lip.
Make sure a mechanic looks it over don't get dazzled by the fact that it has amazing power and mods already. A modded car is mostly likely beat on alot more than usual. So take the time and have it looked at thuroughly. And if everything comes back ok, go for it
it's funny people always like you don't want a modded car cus it might be beat well look at your own cars who's gonna what them after you!
I'm sure most people don't think about selling their highly modified car. They don't care who would want it after them, because they'd rather keep modifying.
My impression is that if it was modded, then it was probably owned by someone that actually likes cars, and doesn't consider them as appliances that get you from A to B. So consequently, they probably took good care of it. Sure they may have got on it every now and then, but that's better than buying some car from some idiot that only changed the oil every 10k miles cause he/she didn't give a crap.
No offense, but $17k for that car....sounds like somethings wrong with it. But also, its your insurance. Hope you got a great record and a great job. Edit: BTW, why would someone replace the Bullitt brakes with Cobra brakes?
IDK if that's fair. Dealers moving an '04 GT before the '05 comes out, and someone selling a 3yr-old limited production Mustang that in stock form would outrun and outhandle a new GT are two different things. Dealers work in strange ways to make you feel like you're getting a deal, while a private owner is gonna insist on getting what they feel their baby is worth. If someone says "I got my car for such and such price," ask them what their interest rate is. If I went to a dealer and told them I was paying cash, they would not hand me the keys to a brand new GT for only $18k. If I had the option of a new GT or used Bullitt, I'd go with the Bullitt. The way I was raised, cars are a long term thing, and in 10 years, the Bullitt will be worth more than the GT.
well im going to test drive the bullitt tomorrow morning, i test drove a 99 cobra and i was quite impressed with the power above 3000rpms today. I hope nothin is wrong with it because im driving an hour to go test drive it... ill let you guys know how it goes... anyone know any good buying techniques? im 19 years old ( i have a good job) im gunna play the "OMG I LOVE THIS CAR BUT YOUR ASKING 17k and i only have 15k" plz plz plz plz pzl i saved up for 3 years working at subway... (lie) maybe i can jay-double-o him down. Sound good?
