Bullitt Mustang
SOLD
3.4 Million at auction.
C&P
The Highland Green 1968 Ford Mustang GT featured in the film Bullitt was sold Friday at a Florida auction house for $3.74 million.
The sale at Mecum Kissimmee marks the most expensive Mustang ever sold, surpassing a 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake that sold last year for $2.2million, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
Owner Sean Kiernan, with his sister Kelly Cotton riding shotgun, drove the car across the auction block at Silver Spurs Arena and then addressed a crowd of about 25,000 before the bidding started.
'This car had sold twice in its life, it's been in my family for 45 years. Each time it has sold, it was $3,500,' Kiernan said.

Interesting. How much is that in Zimbabwe dollars? Here is a 100 Trillion $Zi note for only $70 US. Our money can't be far behind?

A few rattle cans of paint will have its finish up to snuff real quick. Maybe turn it into a low rider. The possibilities are endless.😄 Bob

So, the Volkswagen they passed about 5 times, should be worth about $40K?

Heck, it only cost $5.5 million to make the whole movie!
Of course, that was in 1968 dollars, equal to $100 trillion today.

There were two Mustangs used in the film.
They practically destroyed the stunt car in the chase scene.

They need to buy it so they can display it with the 68.

Watched a Counts Kustom show yesterday where they built a "Bullit Mustang," for the owner of that Pawn Shop (both in Vegas.) Forget the owners name just now. Beat to death Mustang was purchased for $12.5K (Way overpaid.) It was a shell. Danny put "$22.5K," in to it. It was most definately a sweet ride.
I miss my Muscle cars. Most especially my 67' GTO.

Already registered. Hope to snag a Winchester or two. Any of you fellows up to setting up a gofundme account for me so I can bid at the the auction? A letter of credit with a bank account and routing number would go along way to help a poor fellow out..
Nice looking 70 Chevelle in the herd to. Would look real good in the garage with Ole Red.

Had a 67 S-Code mustang Fast back in the 70's. Man it was a fun ride, but that 390 was a bit under powered when it came to the 428 Cobra Jet that came the next year.

I bought a '69 Mustang Boss 302 off the showroom floor three days after I got out of the service in Nov. 1969. It was a yellow "cop magnet". They followed me around like puppy dogs, hoping for me to give them a reason to pull me over. I paid $3125 for it.
