The 2001 Ford Mustang, as any Mustangaholic will know, is the 3rd production year of the 5th generation Mustang and 2001 was an especially good year. Unlike it’s Japanese counter-parts the Mustang is a sports car that doesn’t skimp on size or power. The Mustangs only true competitors are its Detroit rivals the Camaro and the (now extinct) Firebird. 2001 also saw the addition of the Bullitt GT special-edition which is intended to be “a modern-day performance derivative of the legendary 1968 Mustang Fastback GT 390 driven by Steve McQueen in the movie, “Bullitt,” and features a lowered suspension, 17-inch “Bullitt”-style aluminum wheels, unique side scoops and a performance/handling suspension. ” As with its predecessors, the mustang’s exterior is perhaps its most recognizable and crowd-pleasing characteristic after its V8 insides. According to Cars.com:
Even in a tamer trim with a V-6 engine, Mustangs display a sporty appearance, centered on their long-hood and short-deck profile. Some of its current styling cues are evolutions of Mustang appearance from more than three decades ago, including the hood scoop, side scoop and pony emblem in a chrome “corral.” Vertical taillights are tri-bar style, and the single-wing spoiler on the back of a GT enhances its performance image. Measuring 183 inches stem to stern, the Mustang is about a foot shorter than the Chevrolet Camaro.
Convertibles have a glass back window and a power-operated top that stows beneath a hard boot. Tires are 205/65R15 on base coupes and 16-inchers on convertibles, but the GT Mustangs get 245/45ZR17 rubber on aluminum wheels.
The 1999 – 2001 Mustangs of all stripes also sport a unique, scaled taillight configuration which lends itslf particularly well to tinting.
