I have posted a few times on this forum and I thought I would let you know some of my background. I have owned mustangs since I could drive, but always wanted a classic cougar. My first was a 1982 Mustang GT. My current car is a 2001 Mustang GT Bullitt. Here are the specs on the Bullitt

I was at the 2000 Mid-America Shelby Meet where Ford announced the 2001 Bullitt Mustang. Expectations were that it was going to be a hokey paint and decal package, until Scott Hoag delivered a presentation detailing just what the changes would be from a standard GT. Everyone I know of came away very impressed by how thorough a package it was: Big Brembo brakes, new intake manifold and exhaust system, upgraded shocks & struts, lowering springs, interior upgrades to the seats, pedals, shifter and instrument panel, and new wheels, roof moldings, side scoops and etc. on the exterior. Plus several more things I’m sure I’m leaving out. It was a long list.
I wanted one, but wasn’t in the market for a new car at the time. I wound up buying an '04 Mach 1 a few years later, which was essentially the Bullitt package with the addition of a DOHC engine, shaker scoop and some exterior tweaks like the grill eliminator and chin spoiler that you’ve added to your car.
Anyway, they’re special cars, and although they’ve held their value relatively well, they’re still a bit underappreciated by the market, IMO. I suspect they’ll become increasingly valuable as time goes on. In the meantime, have fun with it!
I agree they are completely undervalued. My car needs a repaint and the seats redone to really be mint but I picture her kind of like a fat chick. She may not look that good, but she knows what she’s doing.
