2008 Bullitt Mustang 40th Anniversary Edition - cars & trucks - by owner - vehicle automotive sale

To mark the 50th anniversary of Bullitt Ford has released a 2018 tribute Bullitt Mustang.
At the Detroit Motor show release they had the original 68 stang from the movie on stage with the new one along with Molly Mcqueen (Grandaughter of Steve) and the owner of the 68 stand - they say is worth $3million. They do not think the 2018 Bullit will be coming to Australia.
The 68 from the movie was sold to a family man - as he was the only one who replied to newspaper add and showed up with the money in 1974. It was used as a daily driver for a number of years - and then parked in a garage to await restoration. A couple of years ago the owners got in contact with Ford saying they had the car.
I had to go to you tube and watch the chase scene again (it is in 2 parts).
When compared to todays car chases it was a very simple chase with only a couple of cars being destroyed in it. I was also surprised at how calm the drivers were during the chase and had a small chuckle when the bad guy rolled down the rear window to shoot out of at Steve McQueen instead of shooting it out.

SupporterThat remains one of the best car chases ever filmed (as opposed to car chases created with CGI).
It is great for film study because it illustrates so many things about the way films are made including camera work, editing, sound, techniques used to focus attention, the effect of different focal lengths and many more.

Absolute TOP movie, as were most of McQueen's. I see that they've found the second of the two Mustangs used in the movie,....bought for $5K,.....after resto will be worth at least $1m......identified by chassis numbers etc.

However, that VW and the hubcaps were useful to make a point about how action sequences were filmed.

SubscriberExcept, to my eyes it was blue. Common, apparently.- and the green VW that was so quick that they had to pass it four times.

SubscriberYes. Second, in my book, is the first French Connection film. After that it is a fair way back to third. Mine for that is the first Bourne movie with the Mini. Darn, Mini.... The original Italian Job should really be third..., or second.
