There are a lot of Bullitt replica cars out there, but the guy who really led the way in researching the Warner Bros studio cars is an ABC broadcasting guy in California named Dave Kunz. Take a look HERE. Dave's personal "Bullitt clone" '68 was used in a TV ad for the Ford Puma, a european model that was never sold in the U.S. Dave's car has a few other media appearances to its credit.

There have been several magazine articles over the years that attempted to put the puzzle pieces together. Some are regurgitations of earlier pieces, other add new information. The surviving car's VIN is known, as are some details about its condition.

You'll see a reference to Jim Smart on Dave's page. Jim was editor of several Mustang enthusiast magazines over the years and has written a number of books as well. He has participated in the research on the Bullitt car, and he has a bit to risk in perpetuating some sort of hoax. I think it's a true story, with the current owners fully aware that they've got the title to one of the most highly sought cars on the planet. I'd be discreet about it, too.
