2002 Bullitt (???)

bullitt51 · Jan 12, 2002

I just left a shop that sells parts for older Mustangs, and the owner was lamenting he didn't buy a Bullitt.

He did have a 67 Fastback in front of the store he drives and is interested in selling, however, he told me he had it from good Ford dealership sources that Ford is dropping the Mach I and coming out with the Bullitt again only with the Cobra engine.

Anyone out there heard this rumor, or any Ford people who can definitely dispell?

This is not true. Period.

RDRunner · Jan 12, 2002

Mr.T does it look like the Mach1 is coming out this year, and will it have a DOHC 4.6 or SOHC 4.6 if it does. Thanks in advance for all your valued information.

Mr.T · Jan 12, 2002

Can't talk about that. Sorry.

RDRunner · Jan 12, 2002

damm....thanks anyway. Trying to talk my brother into buying one if it comes out.

I have a bit of accurate information as of Decmber 24th., that the Mach 1 project is not dead (don't comment Mr. T, I don't want you in trouble.). How I found out was both accidental and amusing.

Lets just hope the Team Mustang guys are able to get the go ahead to bring this thing out. Oh, and while I am at it, Santa, we want a GT40 too. :wink:

Glad to hear that they are not going to
build the Bullitt again! Thanks Mr.T!
It would torque me off since one of the
reasons I purchased my Bullitt was that
it was advertised as a one year production
car. (The MAIN reason I bought one is
because it's a "NEATO RETRO" Mustang)
Should be interesting with the Mach 1.

Thanks again Mr. T for dispelling that
rumor!

I believe that the Mach 1 will be the spring feature car and will be the solid axle 4V that peaple have been clamering for. If you visit BON they claim some part numbers have been already catalogued.

Let's put it this way... If there was going to be a 2002 Bullitt, you'd find a class-action lawsuit against Ford with some 5582 plaintiffs (and probably a second lawsuit in Canada).

As for the Mach 1, from everything I've read, it will have the Cobra 32v DOHC engine with the GT solid rear axle.

Dang... If 227 ends up needing a second engine, I want the Mach I

:wink:

But so far the NEW Engine is doing VERY WELL :wink:... Now it's time to get the 5th trip back to the body shop taken care of so I can just drive the darn thing :wink:...

Thanks Mr. T for the info.

Thanks Mr.T for what you can give us. However I do miss the 60s,when this stuff wasn't so damn secretive....It was just a plain old musclecar period!

jdtarch · Jan 12, 2002

Thanks for everything Mr. T.

kirkbrant · Jan 12, 2002

I am really keeping my fingers crossed for the Mach 1. I already have the down payment saved up so I can keep the Bullitt too.

BULLITTBRO1 · Jan 12, 2002

from what i have found out is that the Mach 1 is still up in the air, but who knows

bullitt51 · Jan 13, 2002

Thanks Mr. T. I hate to bring up these rumors but you know hwo convincing some BSers can be.

BB00797 · Jan 13, 2002

Was at the LA Auto Show this last Wednesday and was disappointed to find out the Mach1 was not there. When asked, they said "they didn't bring it". Oh, O.K.!!!!!

and if they produce it it wont be announce before New-York show
or later this spring and it should be as a 2003 model
well at least they are thinking about it

6treva9 · Jan 22, 2002

Here's my stupid question of the day...

Do you think the new Mach will have any impact on the value of the old Mach 1?

2002 Bullitt (???)
