they've apparently really found the 68gt that steve mcqueen drove in bullitt. it looks like she lived in nj for a bit....then got driven to death then stored.......but......they %^%E#$^% found it.

if she really is the real thing, they've changed the steering wheel, as in the movie she wore a grant wheel.....\

I'd prefer the 74 Dodge sedan that Elwood Blues used in the Blues Brothers movie, but that's just me.

Great story. I had a '68 fastback, navy blue, black interior, 289 V8, 3 on the floor.  Wish I never got rid of it. But, like in the story, life gets in the way. I miss that car.

Ford brought it to the Detroit Auto Show this year for their new 2019 Mustang Bullitt for the 50th anniversary of the movie.

WOULD be interesting to see them try to recreate the chase scene.........but......the original had 2 beautiful cars......this one would have to big fat ugly cars.

I could never drive the original car from Bullet.  I would die from the massive boner I'd get when it exploded and bleed out all over the car through my junk.  Nope, not a good idea for me or the car.

Not really close, but an honorable mention is Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher.

agreed. she'd be in my garage. i'd visit her every night, and keep her clean and pretty. i would force myself to drive her once in awhile though on nice days. there's nothing like the sound of a ford FE engine turning6500rpm.

i haven't seen that...guess i'm gonna hafta watch it now.

 

the chase in ronin was pretty good....but for some reason the bullitt chase just does it for me.

 

sorry. gotta post this for those not familiar with the cars in the topic. good excuse to listen to that music too.

 

final part.

 

heh....never saw this one before........the blonde's hot too.

 

 

oh man they beat the snot outta that chevelle. 'shame. she was a beauty. sounded like a small block cammed pretty heavy judging by the idle......wasn't a deep enough note to be a chevy bigblock.

 also.....he sure as hell ain;'t no john wick, lolol

does this qualify as a necro-bump?

 

leno drives it.

notice the inspection sticker still on the passengers side of the windshield.

I'll still take the '68 please.

I am so sorry I sold my '68 Tang.  Guess I will just have to buy a 2019 Bullitt 'Tang.  Tiime to remortgage the house.
