That Bullitt car sold for 3.7 million bucks.

1968 Ford Mustang GT "Bullitt" – The hero car from the iconic movie "Bullitt" • Driven by Steve McQueen

bullitt.mecum.com

It sold at the Mecum Collector Car Auction in Kissimmee back in 2020.

Here it is on display:

And here it is going across the auction block:

The car sounded great, but it's in rough shape...

Every time I see Tom Hanks name I think of Bosom Buddies!

I used to have a cat I named Kip because of that show.

 

[BackAgain]

Robert Duvall

Sean Connery

Morgan Freeman

Jack Nicholson

Tommy Lee Jones

I’m a very big fan of Morgan Freeman. I have learned to very much appreciate the acting chops of Cumberbatch. I think some of Harrison Ford’s work is under rated.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

Bronson Pinchot, Matt Passmore, and Uriah Shelton are my three musketeers.

God bless you and them always!!!

I forgot to mention in my previous message that Bronson Pinchot will be on the NCIS Hawaii show on April 18th and my second favorite actor Matt Passmore will have a new show on NBC this fall named Blank Slate. The next project for my third favorite, Uriah Shelton, is a production named Unhuman.

God bless you and my three musketeers always!!!

So restoring it would ruin its value?

Oh, absolutely.

As it sits now is how it looked in the movie. That's where the sexiness lies. If you fix it up, you lose that. It's not the car as it was when Steve McQueen drove it. Hell, the car still has the camera mounts on it.

What's cool about this car is that, for the longest time, the car was the daily driver of the owner's wife. They didn't see it as anything special.

The car is actually in pretty shitty condition...

Okay. But surely it would be worth a hell of a lot more today had the first owner kept it in mint condition all these years, i.e., kept it protected from the sun, waxed and polished. . . .

I think that's debatable.

Frank Bullitt didn't drive a pristine '68 Mustang. He drove one that was beat to shit. So, there really wouldn't have been a way to have the original car maintained meticulously. It had to be fucked up. But that's where the value comes from. It's not that it's a '68 Ford Mustang GT 390 Fastback. It's that it's a '68 Ford Mustang GT 390 Fastback that Steve McQueen drove while portraying Frank Bullitt.

Warner Brothers ordered two matching Mustangs for the movie, both with 390/325 HP big-block V-8's, 4-speed transmissions and sequential serial numbers. Not only were camera mounts added, but Koni adjustable shocks were added, and suspension and pickup points were beefed up because of the rigorous driving the cars would be subjected to. Ironically, one of the cars, the one used for slow-speed and static shots, was deemed irrepairable after filming and scrapped.

This car, though; the "hero car", is the one driven by McQueen in that iconic chase scene.

So, had the car been restored, it wouldn't have been McQueen's "hero car". It would've been a restored 1968 Form Mustang GT 390 Fastback. Here's one listed at $179K:

For Sale: 1968 Ford Mustang in Charlotte, North Carolina

This is one instance where restoring the car would've destroyed the value...

That is just off the top of my head

It's a bummer about Bruce Willis having to stop acting. But, he will always be Yippee Kayay Man, lol.

Recently Willis has made a slew of straight to streaming "c " movies. I watched one yesterday. I wish I hadn't. His illness dominated. It was cruel to see him exploited.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

^^^ May the man be blessed with the best ever doctors to where he can be back someday and be better than ever then!

God bless you and him and his family always!!!
