I wanted a 1968 Mustang SPECIFICALLY because of “Bullitt”...
Had a 1967 Fastback with the 390 engine (same as the Bullitt” car), then had a 68 GT Fastback with a worked 289 HiPo in it (not the original engine).
Also wanted a 1968 Charger but never got one...
Whenever I watch that flick.... I CRANK up the sound system the moment Bill Hickman snaps on his seat belt in the Charger and guns the engine...
Yeah... it’s STILL badass.
Hickman was a renowned stunt driver, who also did the car chase scene in “The Seven Ups” and other movies back in the day.
Grew up in Ireland loved the car chase scene in the movie..
Came to America wanted a Dodge Charger always thought it was cooler than the Mustang bought a 1970 440 RT fixed it up and drove it for a few years.
Watched the movie so many times that the “Green VW bug pisses me off..
BTW Bill Hickman was in Patton..
