*** UPDATE ***I originally posted about this Bullitt on April 19 and the car has been for sale for almost a month now but the owner has decided to go the Ebay route and auction it off. Click here to see the auction.*** UPDATE ***
I know everybody has seen the picture of the 2001 Bullitt Jumping in the streets of San Fransisco but you may not know the story behind the photo and who was driving the car that day. Well it was Steve McQueen's son Chad who was in the drivers seat for the famous San Fransisco Jump to introduce the 2001 Bullitt Mustang. The car is serialized with #0034 out of 5582 Bullitts made in 2001.
After the
media event with the jump the car was sent back to Ford for a throrough inspection to make sure everything was in good working order. It then circulated through
Ford exces and press people before being auctioned off. In 2005 at an MCA Mission: Mustang National Show Scott Hoag, who was the program manager of the Bullitt and owner of #0001 Bullitt Mustang discovered the car when he saw the serial number was #0034. After looking the car over he confirmed it was the actual jump car and provided the owner with a
certificate of authenticity. The car is also listed in the
Bullitt Registry.
The current owner, a member (Mberglo) of Brads Mustang Site who hails from Huntsville, AL has decided it's time to sell and has posted it on the
forums. A few mods have been added since the current owner took possession including a set of 3.73 gears, Speedcal, Steeda Tri-ax shifter, and a catless x-pipe. He has all the OEM parts to restore the car back to its original condition. The asking price is reasonable for collectable car like this at $15K. If you have any interest you can contact the current owner by email at
