Used Car of the Day: 2001 Ford Mustang Bullitt

Today's UCOTD is a low-mileage, special-edition pony car. A 2001 Ford Mustang Bullitt, to be precise.


This one has relatively low miles -- just over 32,000 -- and new rotors (in boxes, apparently) and caliper kits (may or may not be in boxes, the punctuation in the post is such that an English teacher would give the seller an F), plus a car cover.

There's new badging and fresh paint, though there are some rock chips. The car appears to be well-maintained and garage-kept.

That's about it. The asking price is $16,000 and the car is in Louisville, Kentucky. Click here to see the ad.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

The combination of the box shape and the aggressive detailing is very JDM."Wife: "Those are ghetto."Me: "They're smaller than a Corolla outside and have the space of a RAV4 inside."Wife: "Those are ghetto."Me: "They're kind of fun to drive with a stick."Wife: "Those are ghetto."It's one of a few cars (including its fellow box, the Ford Flex) on which we will just never see eye to eye.
  • Oberkanone The alternative is a more expensive SUV. Yes, it will be missed.
  • Ajla I did like this one.
  • Zerofoo No, I won't miss this Chevrolet Malibu. It's a completely forgettable car. Who in their right mind would choose this over a V8 powered charger at the rental counter? Even the V6 charger is a far better drive.
  • Offbeat Oddity Nope, I won't miss it. I loved the 2008-2012 Malibu, but the subsequent generations couldn't hold a candle to it. I think the Impala was much more compelling at the end.
