Few movie cars are as instantly recognizable as the 1968 Ford Mustang that Steve McQueen drove in "Bullitt." That Highland Green car known now simply as the Bullitt Mustang took on a 1969 Dodge Charger on the streets of San Francisco in one of the greatest car chases captured on film. For decades, the original car was thought to be lost. That wasn't entirely the case. It's simply been kept out of the public's eye. Now it returns to the spotlight, finally taking its rightful place next to its successor, the new 475-horsepower 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt.

So will they do a remake of the chase with the modern Mustang and Charger, all while passing the same emerald green VW Beetle several times on the hill?

Looks a little rough.
I’d hope that it has a full tank of gas, a half pack of cigarettes and 2 pr of sun glasses on the dash.

'69...my favorite car.
Some guy down the street has one, been sitting in his yard for years just rusting away, sad.

It’s not like it was actually lost. Mustang followers knew where it was all this time.
To: RckyRaCoCo
That Charger was extraordinarily rare — it’s the only Dodge ever built with five hubcaps.

Great car, great movie.
Love those style of wheels on that car, especially when they’re all spiffed up.

I like the wheels and tires much better than today’s rubber-band tires/wheels.

Neat, but what I really want is Bullitt’s Colt Diamondback snubnose .38 that he shot the bad guy with in the airport.
