Bought A Bullitt Yesterday

Raffaelli · May 12, 2012

So I got me a 01 Bullitt yesterday..

Green, 100% original and the body/interior is in really good shape.

Motor is knockin though

Paid 2500 bucks, going to be rebuilding the motor I guess.

And has 55K miles on her
. Pics to follow.

Wow, that's a deal. Even blown up. What's wrong with the motor? Catastropic?

Timing chain guides prolly went clogged the oil pump and took the bearings out . With 55k only tho makes me think could have been some revving

Something about the bullet exterior that is just about perfect.

Congrats dude, that's the deal of the century, even with the blown motor! I <3 Bullitts, but I guess I'm a bit partial!

Pics or it didn't happen!

Its at the shop right now, and with Mothers day party to go to today, guys just going to have to wait. LOL.

Not planning on keeping it. Its a super sweet car and Id love to keep it. But its just worth too much money. I plan to sell it as soon as I fix it all up.

I do need a passenger side mudflap and rocker trim. Kinda impossible to find....any places to look?

g36 monkey · May 13, 2012

lmao, to my knowledge no one makes the mud flap. One guy in the Bullitt club of Florida has one that was unfinished he claims he will make a mold out of. Still waiting.

miss2slocoupe · May 13, 2012

wow nice find! is the interior in good shape or did someone trash it out? hope you can fix it on a budget

ProKiller · May 14, 2012

You sure it's worth much? If it's ragged out now and you clean it up and fix some stuff, it will be worth more than now but it still won't be worth a ton. Regular Bullitts don't seem to be worth too much more than a regular GT, and if it's had a rough life it will still be worth less than a regular GT that's had an easy life.

I say rock the hell out of it and die in a fire for not giving us pics

Raffaelli · May 16, 2012

Sorry for the lousy pics, a friend took em.

Needs a Good wash and wax for sure

Nacho98 · May 17, 2012

miles?

damn good deal. Get a PI motor to swap in, obviously keeping the bullitt's intake and throttle body, pulleys, etc, and you have a nice bullitt for under 4k

Raffaelli · Jun 3, 2012

Pulled the motor and trans just now. Havent got the oil pan off yet, but under the valve cover is BAD!!!

Looks like dried roofing tar all over everything. This car would have been lucky to get 4 oil changes its whole life.

Stay tuned for pics!

Side note, that fox coupe in fron of my car in the last pic has a 03 bottom end, 01 bullitt intake and 2V heads, a vortec, FMIC, and it puts down 430 to the tires. But I was told it was detuned from over 600 just to be drivable! Its a FAST mofo still. Ill get a pic or 2.
