Virtually Untouched Modern Classic
When Ford resurrected the Bullitt nameplate in 2019, they created something truly special, a modern interpretation of cinema’s most famous muscle car. The attention to detail was impressive, with a Hurst-like cue ball shift knob, six-piston Brembo brakes, and distinctive torque thrust wheels. Most importantly, Ford deleted all external badging except the small Bullitt logo on the rear, maintaining the stealth aesthetic that made McQueen’s Bullitt so menacing.
This particular 2020 Mustang Bullitt listed on Cars and Bidsrepresents exactly what collectors dream about. It’s a virtually mint example with just 1,200 miles on the odometer under a single owner. At five years old, this Highland Green beauty has averaged barely 240 miles per year, meaning it’s spent more time being admired than in pursuit. That’s preservation-level ownership for a car that deserves it. And with only one day left of bidding, the current bid stands at just $24,000.

Supercharged Mustang with Full Service HistoryÂ
The Mustang Bullitt originally packed a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 producing 480 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. That’s 20 more horsepower than the standard GT, thanks to a cold air intake and larger throttle body. It came with a six-speed manual only, keeping purists happy. Optional updates present on this car include the MagneRide dampers, which vastly improve ride quality.Â
This particular example takes performance further with a professionally installed Whipple 3.0L supercharger kit, likely pushing output north of 650 horsepower. Helping rein in the increased horsepower is a McLeod twin disc clutch, aluminum flywheel, 1-piece aluminum drive shaft, and DSS half shafts. It’s also packing a short-shift kit and uprated rear sway bar and end links.Â
It sits on Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires dated 2019, so potential buyers should factor in fresh rubber. That said, the car has a full service history, including several trips back to the dealership for recall fixes. It’s also had its gearbox replaced under warranty, likely due to a manufacturing defect, not user error, so rest assured this Bullitt hasn’t been in any high-speed chases.Â

The Collector’s Sweet Spot in Today’s Market
Production was limited to approximately 8,700 units across both model years. Originally priced around $48,000, this example was over $60,000 as delivered. The nearly-$10K Whipple supercharger adds value for performance enthusiasts, though it moves this car into modified territory rather than pure stock collectible status.
Cars and Bids
Standard 2020 Mustang GTs usually trade between $35,000-$42,000, depending on condition. Bullitt examples, especially low-mileage ones, average just over $50,000. This particular car represents an interesting proposition: rare enough to appreciate, modern enough to enjoy every day, and supercharged enough to really thrill.
