The Bullitt Mustang starts at $ 47,705, or the highest value of any non-Shelby Mustang, and as such Ford probably has a decent profit on each one. According to a report this week, however, Ford just made the Bullitt Mustang.

The new Mustang Mach 1 apparently it is the intended replacement; the last iteration of the Mustang Bullitt has been dead for weeks.

According Ford Authority:

Now, the Ford Authority has confirmed with Mustang spokesman Berj Alexanian that the latest Ford Mustang Bullitt came off the line at the Ford Flat Rock assembly plant last year.

The latest Ford Mustang Bullitt was produced for just two model years – 2019 and 2020 – but was revealed at the 2018 North American International Auto Show alongside one of the cars from the original 1968 film.

No one knows when we will see the Bullitt’s return, but maybe that will happen when the next generation, the 2023 Ford Mustang S650 arrives, which is supposed to happen in 2022.

My ex-boss drove the 2019 Bullitt Mustang once and I really liked it; it has always seemed like an expensive way to cosplay Steve McQueen, and maybe part of the reason it’s going away is that fewer and fewer people are interested in doing it. However, the Highland Green remains unmistakable, as do the 480 horsepower of its 5.0-liter V8, as well as the six-speed manual. Wait a few years and you will probably be able to buy one of these at half the cost of a new one.
