The Story of Steve McQueen's Lost Bullitt
One of the two 1968 Mustang GT fastbacks used in the iconic Steve McQueen film Bullitt , long thought to have been scrapped was found in a junkyard in Mexico. The other Mustang from the film is known to be in private hands, likely in Kentucky, making this find particularly significant as it doubles the number of verified Bullitt cars still in existence.
The Mustang is believed to be the one modified with beefed-up suspension components for the film's famous action sequences, which include one of the most celebrated car chases in movie history. The two Dodge Chargers used in Bullitt are thought to have been destroyed, further highlighting the rarity and importance of this Mustang. Its discovery was reported by the Los Angeles Times, which noted that the car was found in a Baja California scrapyard by a man searching for vintage Mustangs to restore as replicas of Eleanor from Gone in 60 Seconds.

8 个月Buying just about any used car is a great way to get cheated. It happens even to some of the most knowledgeable collectors. And it happens even more as some of these cars reach really stupid money. That guy in Kentucky is really a chump now. Generally the studios are supposed to scrap these cars. Quite frequently, some guy at the factory takes some money to lose them.
