As told to Mustang enthusiast Anthony S. Alonso, who currently owns a black 2001 Bullitt and previously an azure blue 2003 Mach 1, ENGINEER + ENTHUSIAST = EXCITEMENT relates the journey to bring two special edition models to market for the last “hurrah” of the SN-95 Mustang line.
From concept car to production model, the 2001 Bullitt started production in spring 2001, an astounding 14 months after being displayed as a concept at the 2000 Los Angeles Auto Show. The 2003/04 Mach 1 was planned while the Bullitt was still in development and released in late 2002. Scott’s passion, fueled by his long-time enthusiast focus and his engineering know-how within the Ford Motor Company system, resulted in two well-received vehicles. Each car was a look back and celebration of the heritage of a well-known movie car from 1968 and optional model from 1969/70.
Scott reminisces with the reader in his subtle but humorous style, providing a first-hand account of what it took to shepherd two special Mustangs to market. He tells the tale of working at Ford Motor Company and employing a careful balance of teamwork, dedication, and vision. The fruits of that labor were for those among the most dedicated of Ford’s customers – the performance car enthusiast. The 2001 Bullitt inspired the making of the 2008/09 and 2019 editions. Scott also reflects on those versions and the possibilities of future feature cars.
Available as of June, 1, 2018, sit back, take a read, and look at the complement of behind-the-scenes photos in a full color, 112-page hardback book. ENGINEER + ENTHUSIAST = EXCITEMENT will demonstrate know-how + heart = fun times!
