What was the one Steve McQueen drove in “Bullitt”? This one looks similar.

That was a ‘68 fastback with the big block 390 motor. The 289’s were pretty weak compared to the 390. The most desirable Mustangs came with the 428 and 429 motors with the 429 SOHC NASCAR clone version the apex predator that will bring the real big bucks. I remember Hertz renting these at LAX when my father and I flew in summer of 1966. They also had XKE’s which I really wanted but the few they had were out as were the Shelby Mustangs. I recall we settled for a Chrysler Crown Imperial loaded with leather and everything and it was a much more comfortable way to fly the Freeways.

They found 2 of the original Bullitt cars within the last 5 years. One of them believe it or not, was found buried in sand at the California desert..

The Steve McQueen Bullett was on display on the National Mall this past summer:
