Bullitt Mustang Sold Out

[M Barrett]

Definitely no paint treatment, having been in the trade this is a money spinner, a good Carnauba wax and job done. I’ve had an AMG GTR Mercedes, 911 GTS and the like and that’s all they need. I’m going for very light window tinting, IRS full kit by Steeda, front strut brace and 25mm wheel spacers all round should look the nuts. Once it’s run in I’m going for a better air intake and a DMS re map who reckon 500BHP is no problem which will give a far more linear power curve to and even more torque.
Not bothering with lowering springs as I think traditionally the Bullitt wasn’t low and it would make it look too boy racer’ish!

[M Barrett]

Good advice, thx for that. Steeda tell me 25mm will do the job perfectly without cutting studs but I will double check with them. Do you think the spacers alone without lowering springs will improve the look?

[M Barrett]

Well thanks again, yours looks perfect to me, how much is it lowered by? I have the Magneride option so will need Progressive spring to suit the Magneride option, what would you recommend?

[M Barrett]

Thx, I’m going to pursue your settings as that is exactly the stance I want. That other forum is far to complicated and confusing to get involved with! When I eventually get the car the work will be done the following day and I will post some pictures, thx again!

So, i’m sticking with it. Dealer will supply and fit the optional Ford Performance GT350 Strut Brace too available as an accessory for Mustang. Not Bullitt stamped, but at least will have a brace.

Told today my car has been Gate Released, so all built and presumably shortly on its way...should be with me before Xmas!


Would this have any effect on your insurance?

Unlikely. My current GT Convertible has a range of modifications including:

Roush Cold Air Intake
Roush Axle Back Exhaust
Pedders Extreme Coil Overs
MAK Rennen 19” alloys
Full Body Wrap

None of which had any effect on the insurance premium and all declared.

My Bullitt has landed in the UK. I tracked the ship it was on all the way across the Atlantic!

Should be with me sometime next month. I have the Dealer fitting the Ford Performance GT350 Strut Brace available as an Accessory.

Not going to mess with it really other than that. May have a map at some stage, but that’ll be it.

[M Barrett]

Nice Bullitt MB, have you any plans for mods? I think they really need wheel spacers to finish the amazing look and maybe a very light window tint all round, what do you think?

[harleywilma]

Noticing a few of these bullets are now being flipped ....

[M Barrett]

Yes with not much success fortunately, there have been two on the Autotrader for over two weeks, one at 52k and one at 55k and none sold. The 52k one will take 50k which as it has Magneride is enough of a premium to buy breakfast! These cars are for people who want a great rare car that I doubt will depreciate much over the years particularly once Ford have stopped producing them. Maybe in many years to come they will be collectible who knows but definitely not a car for flipping!

No plans for any mods, except maybe a discreet PH smiley on the boot lid

One bullitt being flipped started out at 64k then dropped.

How did you track it? My dealer says only then can do that but obviously they know not much...

I had someone at Ford UK kindly use my VIN Number to identify what vessel the car was on and when it would arrive in the UK. I then used the Marine Track App, looked up the vessel and tracked it.

Pretty cool really.

My Bullitt is showing as Off Line, (last updated 18 Oct). Anyone know where that fits to Gate Release or even arrival ?

Better photo of the stance and ride height on mine here.

You can see ive got a very light rake going on, rear to front. Which is what I (personally) like.

Just be sure to keep all the original parts. Its a matter a few hours labour to return it to original at some point, should that be important.

Stunning Captain slow, how's the bumps since the lowering? What springs did you spring for?
