The 1968 Bullitt Mustang sells for $3.74 million at Mecum Kissimmee 2020 and captures the crown for most valuable Ford Mustang in the world. History was made on January 10, 2020 as the Mecum auction block arena at Oceola Heritage Park filled to capacity to watch history unfold.
The final hammer price on the block achieved $3.4 million and a final sale price of $3.74 million including the buyer’s premium.

So what does the new owner do with the car? Do they keep it as it is or clean it up and make it like new?
Thanks,didn’t know it still exsited.
I wonder if the white Bronco, famous in the chase involving O.J. Simpson, is still around.
I see the Prius crowd is strong here. Favored among libs, gen x-ers, and gays.
Those guys deserve medals for doing high speed stunts in those cars. Totally inadequate tires, chassises, and brakes. Good strong engines though.
I wonder if it might have been an influence on the Beastie Boys’ classic Sabotage video:

I didn’t realize remote control airplanes were a thing in 1974. Actually looks like a pretty mature hobby which means it must trace back even further. Could the R/C hobby go back as far as the 1960s?
I love a classic car chase overlaid with female dispatcher audio. She’s all cool and calm at her console in some office building while the cars are smashing it up on the freeway. The movie THX1138 made great use of this in 1971...I wonder if there are earlier examples.
None as desirable to collector’s as the Morrison GT.
It would bring $10 million TODAY. Perhaps more.
Because it’s a missing legend.
And clearly the most sought after car in the world...if it even still exists.
I remember seeing it in the theater. The original vitual reality experience. I stayed for the second showing for the chills. Better than an amusment park ride.

It’s in the Alcatraz East Crime Museum in Tennessee: https://www.alcatrazeast.com/
Here for how it got there:
Thanks for the information. Fascinating.
“I still prefer the Ronin chase scene.”
I forgot about that one. Now I have 3 to ponder.
So you hate Mustangs.

The one I had showed the car coming straight towards the camera and filled probably 1/4 of the area.
It was within a few frames of this:

Anyone remember the car chase scene in “The French Connection”?
Wonder how much the Partridge Family bus is going for.
I’ve posted this unbelievable story on FR before, so I will leave out the details this time:
My first new car, when I was 24 and dirt poor, was a new ‘68 Bullitt Mustang I got in early Sept. of that year, a month before the movie came out.
Incredible series of events: my roommate totalled my ‘66 Mustang coupe; my insurance co. gave me way more money than it was worth; I asked a used car dealer friend to find me a good deal for the cash I had in hand; he handed me a like-new, 1967 Buick Wildcat Convertible, loaded! With its 454 V8, I couldn’t afford to put gas in it even at 35 cents a gallon.
I wanted another Mustang, drove by dealer and a new Bullitt Highland green fastback was sitting on the showroom floor. I knew the Wildcat was worth a lot - “Will you trade me that fastback for my car?” “We’ll check it out and let you know.”
A test drive later, “We’ll take your Wildcat plus $300.00.” “I DON’T HAVE $300!” “Sorry - that’s what it will take.”
I walked out, dejected. The sales guy came running after me (what a great lesson I learned then!), “WAIT! Can you wait 3 days for the car?” I said yes, but not 4, as I had to be at a new job in another state.”
“Ok, if you can wait 3 days, we’ll take your car and $100.00!” I didn’t have $100, but knew I could come up with it somehow if that’s what it took for my new Mustang.
“Why 3 days?” I asked. “The ‘69 models come out in 3 days, and Ford will give us $200 for each ‘68 we still have on the floor.”
I got my Mustang, and a month later it was famous.
I put 100k miles on it in 3 years (trips to CA from Indiana), and then it needed to be completely rebuilt - back then that’s all you’d get out of a car. I passed it on to a good friend, he drove it until he junked it.
You forgot your /sarcasm tag
Aside from rare Bugattis and Ferraris, which have sold for $30-50mm, let’s just stick w/ American cars and American celebrities, oh, say, Gary Cooper and his ‘35 Duesenberg SSJ which sold for $22mm in ‘18. (Cooper’s ‘30 Duesenberg Model J Derham Tourster would be worth even more at auction.)
Ford GT40s have sold for upwards $11mm, but that’s a very unique car. The highest price for a Shelby, a ‘62 Cobra, was $13.7mm
A ‘67 Super Snake (GT-500 w/ a GT40 engine) sold for $1.3mm in 2013, but that was a one-off. Morrison likely crashed his, but you can buy another 60’s era GT-500 for $150-$350k. Enjoy!
So you hate Mustangs.

My first new car purchase was an ‘86 5.0l LX (cop car body). Loved that car!
