Mark Strassmann reports on the journey of the car that starred in the Steve McQueen classic, "Bullitt," and the owners who jealously protected their prize, even refusing to sell the car to McQueen himself. Strassmann also talks with McQueen's costar Jacqueline Bisset about the very special appeal that the Highland Green 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback had (and continues to have) on movie audiences.

There were two "Bullitt" mustangs. One had a rather distinctive dent made in (I believe) in the left-front quarter panel. Steve McQueen thought the car looked a little too pristine... "too nice" and dented it with a baseball bat. His theory was that a cop couldn't afford to have every little ding repaired.

@schmojo33 6 лет назад

Paul Newman's Rolex Daytona went on sale for over 15 million (almost 18 million when including fees). Now this is Steve McQueens Bullet Mustang. This appeals to car collectors and cinema collectors. James Bond's Austin Martin sold for like 4.6 million. I would not be surprised if this exceeded that and approached the 10 million mark though I'm not an appraiser or collector of cars or Hollywood memorabilia and I know very little.

It's interesting that the newspaper ad lists it as a 1968 "Bullett" Mustang. British Racing Green. It's not "Bullett, it's "Bullitt" and it's not British Racing Green, it's Highland Green. The rest is correct.

Sigh... okay. For everyone questioning this car's authenticity- ENOUGH ALREADY!!! Anyone who bothered to do a little research would know that there were TWO '68 Mustangs used in the film. One was the stunt car, the other was used for the "hero" shots. The one at Mecum was the hero car. The stunt car was also recently found at a scrapyard in Mexico. Finally, I read an article somewhere where what they believe is the surviving Charger ( there were two of those also apparently ) was also found. Does that clear everything up for the doubters?

AGREED, absolutely best car chase. I love to note some interesting quirks. When shifting he's pedaling it in-between gears like double clutching. After he spins out in the dirt and continues down the road it gets a second gear chirp only possible by an automatic. The charger was black which was not available in 68 and thats okay. Two or three hubcaps were thrown off only to be there in a later scene. I don't care, i just think its fun !

The suspension was highly modified to make the “jumps”. In fact there was more than one car. One had a 427 and the other had a 390. There may have been more. But those are the only two I saw during filming. I grew up in Santa Clara, California...spent a lot of time in San Francisco after graduating from high school. Happened upon the blocked streets and preparations for filming. Never saw McQueen or any actors.

Not quite the the Bullitt Mustang , y'know ? And the grill looks like a stock grill sans pony and frame . I once read that the grill was replaced by wire mesh . Beats me . When Mcqueen parks the car in the cab driver scene , there was no driver side mirror . During the chase , the mirror is on the car door . Which is which ? For me , it's lost a lot of movie /collector value . BTW - whats the vin # ?

@TBird100636 6 лет назад

There were 2 used for the movie. Both 390 V8 4 speed cars, but one was a true GT, the other was a non-GT fastback. Both were de-trimmed similarly so they looked alike, but there were some differences. This one ended up in private hands. It wasn't really restored per-say, repairs were made which preserved it, unlike what the son said. The other car, the one that skidded into the ditch at the end of the chase with a broken lower control arm was supposed to have been sent to a junkyard and destroyed. Well, in the last few years, it was found mostly stripped in Mexico, and last I saw was undergoing an actual restoration.

In reality, Steve McQueen never owned either of the two "68 390 GT Mustangs that were in the movie. Warner Brothers Studios owned both of them and bought them directly from the San Jose CA Ford factory in March of '68. Max Balchowsky modified both Mustangs to have 400hp.

@bobriedel3277 5 лет назад

Ok, what's the deal? About 2 years ago, one of the biggest news stories of the day was that the original McQueen Mustang was found in a Mexican junkyard, the VIN matched the movie company's records and someone bought it with an eye on restoration. Now, this? Which story is real????

@jakekaywell5972 4 года назад

Don't get me wrong, the Bullitt Mustang is one cool car. It has definitely earned a premium over other 1968 Mustang GTs that are still extant, those that lived out their lives from the Ford dealership with less...prominence...I suppose. However, should that premium really be in excess of $3 million USD? I have a hard time reconciling that.
