McQueen’s Bullitt Mustang: Found at Last

Iconic doesn’t even begin to describe it. The Ford Mustang from the movie Bullitt driven by Steve McQueen was featured in one of the most influential car chases in film history - and until recently was thought lost to the world. Find out the story of its incredible life in this upcoming documentary film, "Little Pieces: The Untold Story of the Bullitt Mustang," from the Historic Vehicle Association.

[@bobthe469]

Came here from Matt Maran Motoring channel because he said U would probably make a vid on this car

[@calvarycustoms6681]

So how did Sean's daughter take the news, that the old "family heirloom" car Dad had on jackstands in the garage, was actually one of the most famous and sought-after cars in the world?

[@runnwildgarage602]

Is there a release date yet for the film. Thanks.

[@OnTheRailTV]

When is the film coming out?

[@Frank289100]

2 YEARS AGO I RECEIVED A COPY OF YOUR HAGERTY MAGAZINE JAN/FEB 2018 OF THE BULLET MUSTANG FINALLY FOUND AND GAVE YOU A HALF A DOZEN REASONS IT WAS A FAKE. I LEFT A COMMENT WHICH IS STILL HERE OF HOW IT WAS NEVER A 390 GT MUSTANG, AND HOW THEY WERE 289ci SMALL BLOCK CARS. YET YOU IGNORED THIS AND STILL PERSUADE YOUR ARTICLE AS TRUTH OF THE BULLET MUSTANG BEING A 390GT CAR. I WENT TO MANY SIGHTS POSTING IT WAS A POSSIBLE PHONY. AND AFTER 2 YEARS SOMEONE OUT THERE TOTALLY AGREES WITH ME AND HE POSTED BACK THIS COMMENT WHICH WILL SHOCK THE AUTOMOTIVE WORLD, AND THE IDIOT WHO BOUGHT THE CAR FOR 3.5 MILLION DOLLARS. Yes you are absolutely right guy about that!!! I don't know why everyone keeps saying the car had a 390 in it had a 289 in it in the movie Steve McQueen was interviewed on a tv show one night. I believe it was Johnny Carson and Steve mentioned the car in the movie had a 289 in it after the show it was sent to the junk yard all the stunts he did with it tore it all up..

[@vampire1111pitbull]

I guess 3.5 million is the price of a lifetime of memories.

[@klasseact6663]

Needs to be on the big screen so a bunch of car guys can get together and watch it!

[@NuclearGrizzly]

Klasse Act I don't know where you live but The Alamo Drafthouse will occasionally show the movie.

[@klasseact6663]

NuclearGrizzly I meant this upcoming doc😉

[@NuclearGrizzly]

Klasse Act This is the kind of thing they will show at The Alamo. If you have one in your are contact them about a special screening. Hey...maybe a double feature?

[@elizabethreed2090]

GUYS AND GALS THANK YOU......

[@mech5]

Klasse Act you need to get a copy on Blu-ray. The picture is better than any movie theater.

[@jonmichael3280]

No matter what Mustang you have you've probably pretended it was this car at some point

[@John-vb8gr]

Ordell Robbie for sure man.

[@b-trucker7717]

Even in my maverick 🤔

[@Sunne11]

Even in my Volvo

[@jimsmith1277]

I've got a '68 Mustang; and even though it's a non-fastback, whenever I fire it up and drive it, I always imagine the beginning of the chase scene... (I also owned a '68 Charger when I was younger. And felt that same nostalgia then too.)

[@cocotaveras8975]

Sunne11 Even in my Honda.

[@MikeDyer6378]

There is something blissfully poetic about this whole thing. The, that's right the, most iconic movie car of all time being driven for years in obscurity in the country, the back roads of america, pulling daily duty for a farm family that takes care of horses (yes I know it's ironic). It's literally the stuff of dreams. Sean Kiernan, in the slightest chance you'll read this, I offer you this advice... I'm sure right now that you have already been offered astronomical amounts of money from Ford, collectors, dealers and brokers, but the truth is you can't put a value on it, just like you can't put a value on what it means to you or your family. Keep it, let all the buck exploiting car nuts fight over the other surviving car in Mexico. When sentimental value exceeds actual value you can't get rid of something, because your not finished with it. Show the car, because it is an American treasure and it deserves to be seen and shared with the country and by every gear head (male and female) around the world! I can't wait to see the documentary and thank you to Hagerty for the incredible coverage of this once in a lifetime find!

[@realmaindrianpace]

I wager that's the single most valuable Mustang in the world.

[@davidbrennan5]

It's worth a million US according to Carbuzz but collectors would start a bidding war on that car and it could go for much much more.

[@davidbrennan5]

Both Bullitt Mustangs were running S code 390 engines with 4 speed manuals. Max Balchowsky ported the heads and did some ignition upgrades, They removed the fog lights backup lights and rear valance all badges and installed Torq thrust wheels. They added heavy-duty front springs and reinforced the shock towers. A stronger anti-roll bar was installed in front, as well as Koni shock absorbers. They added an aftermarket round mirror to the drivers side and painted the gascap, rocker moldings and taillight trim they also added the Shelby steering wheel. The Mustangs had prototype Firestone Radial tires. The Cars did not have Trac-lok. The car they claim is the real deal is missing the round mirror. You can clearly see that round mirror 1 minute 4 seconds into the chase scene.

[@realmaindrianpace]

Hey Captain Capslock, they were both 390 GT cars, with the S code 390 4bbl GT engines and four speeds. Good grief, both cars have been discovered, both VIN plates have been published on the net - S is the fifth digit on both, 289 was A or C, 302 was J, you're calling Kevin Marti a liar, (think about that one) EVERYBODY involved with buying, building, driving, and keeping the cars reported that they were big blocks, pitching sideways under power at speed in the chase scenes is something that no 289/302 could ever do, you apparently never heard of adding ballast to the trunk to fly straight, like they did to the General Lees on the Dukes of Hazzard show, or expert stunt driving by the likes of Bill Hickman, and last but not least, that Charger did all the same stunts with an even heavier 440 mill.

[@realmaindrianpace]

Interesting story on the Hemi GTX. I used to restore classic Mustangs for a living, (currently street rods and muscle cars) and I've driven and wrenched on more than I can remember, small and big block alike. I can tell you that a 289/302 weighs approx 500 pounds, while an FE weighs in at 650 pounds. A 150 lb difference is not enough to upset the stunt performance of a car, and you have to understand that the Hollywood stunt community consists of guys who can do amazing, otherworldly things with cars. These Mustangs had Koni shocks, stiffer springs (the stunt jump version, that was found in Mexico) heavier snubbers, etc to make it possible to land on pavement without breaking up. They were both extensively modified for this job, whereas a stock 390 GT would have wallowed all over the road, as you say, and come apart like a plastic Christmas tree on landing. In fact, the stunt car did, cracks to the subframe/firewall area, and that famous scene right at the end of the chase where it ran sideways into a gutter and snapped the spindle in half. That was unscripted. I'm not aware of any NASCAR plans for the 289, in that era, Ford, Chevy, and Mopar all ran big block V8s. There were a few small blocks on short tracks, with Bobby Allison's 1966 327 Chevelle taking a win with it's 900 pound weight break, but none of these would have worked on a super speedway, and the little 289 Ford would not have been competitive with the 327.

[@cocotaveras8975]

Maindrian Pace 100% no doubt!

[@brian5o]

To the Kiernan family, thank you very much for being such great stewards of this automotive and movie icon. 50 years would be hard on any vehicle from this era and this car lived a particularly hard life in the beginning. It would have been very easy for this car to have been used up by now and scrapped or drastically changed at some point in its history but here it is exactly as it should be and it is all because of you and your family taking such great care of it for all of these years. Thank you also for bringing this great vehicle back out into the public eye and sharing its many great stories. I particularly loved hearing about your mom driving it to her job as a 3rd grade teacher. Hearing you talk about this car with Molly in the Ford video really stirred up a lot of emotions for me in addition to just seeing the car in the beautifully original condition it is in today. Thank you so very much for preserving this beloved, very special Mustang! Every car guy and girl owes your family a great debt of gratitude.

[@johnheroux5404]

Where's the documentary already, I think we've waited long enough!

[@pgarrett6665]

God bless that man and his family. Love bullitt

[@fourtraxer]

Apparently they have already been blessed!

[@arstd99]

*It's "Bullitt". You saw it, I lived it!*

[@pgarrett6665]

I own 6 mustang fast backs

[@justinanderson8758]

That air cleaner looks good on my wall😂

[@MrBluoct]

Dad had the 67 fastback same color A repaint of a bubble gum pink fastback as a custom color for a woman's / daughter's 16th birthday. She hated it and therefore the car was returned to dealer with nearly zero miles and dad negotiated a repaint back to green at no charge. Someone may have a green 67 with remnants of pink and wonder what the heck that was about! Offered to me at 16 Belt was squealing I passed for neighbor's 65 Chevy IMPALA Good god What a screw up.

[@thetuber705]

You fucked up. Never go backwards.

[@tyalmanza8]

No screwup at all those 65 impalas are nice as hell

[@thetuber705]

+tyalmanza8 He went from a fast valuable car to a boring less valuable car. Doesn't matter how much you like the impala it was a stupid choice. I like Ol' Yeller II more than the Shelby 427 Cobra but it'd be pretty stupid to go from a $1.6m 427 Cobra to a $180,000 Ol' Yeller wouldn't it.

"I absolutely just love the story behind this Bullitt Mustang, it's is absolutely so phenomenal and beautiful!" 💜💜💜💜💜

[@GETUPANDGO]

So excited to see this, Bullitt's one of my all-time favorites, so happy the car has been found and that it's in one piece

[@Cskidsstuff]

This is epic could be worth more than any movie car ever.I saw Bullit the first time when I was 10 years old when it first hit the theaters.My whole family is car nuts and it was all we could talk about for a while.I have seen it many times since.I think it is safe to say it is the holy grail of car movies and Steve McQueen is the king of cool.

[@slashnduffrock]

So that means both of the original two movie cars survived. The other one that was used in the film was found down in Mexico. That's pretty cool. Don't think the two chargers used in the movie survived but at least the fastbacks did.

[@detoth67]

One of the Chargers survives. It was a camera car.

[@fpv_0205]

sebastian chavez the one found in mexico was used in all stunts execpt final chase scene

[@bthomasx]

Great story and happy the car is still around

[@SorryWereOpen247]

The Henry Ford Museum would be the best place for this car UNALTERED !

[@SorryWereOpen247]

Crimson Idol .... You sound like a silent movie !!!

[@LulaRoberts]

I would not be surprised if Ford Motor Company did buy the Bullitt at the auction or, Stive's son quietly bought the car at the auction 🤔.

[@YuckFou502]

Not much can make me emotional like a great car story! 😭😄

[@calvarycustoms6681]

Words simply cannot explain how awesome this is. When -5558 was claimed to have been found in a Mexican junkyard, I feared -5559 was likely gone forever. It's simply incredible that BOTH cars re-emerged within months of each other! It's unfortunate that -58 has been largely rebuilt, but that's a far better outcome than the one we had long feared: the car crusher. So awesome to have these Mustangs back!!

[@sergeantmasson3669]

@calvarycustoms6681, 558 was the stunt car. 559 was the survivor car.

[@0_O_0001]

This gave me goosebumps, I need more.

[@JohnSp33d]

And a single tear streamed down his face...

[@runnwildgarage602]

For anyone saying to restore the car, that's a word that should never be mentioned when it comes to this car. You leave the car as is. If you look at the car market, survivors are where the money is at. The idea of perfection is a old way of thinking, people want the raw way these muscle cars were. To many good Survivor cars were painted or restored and not to many original examples exist. They were driven, they got scratched, dents, had oil leaks under the hood, etc. The original cars are as close as you get to a time machine, this car was there in 1968 with Steve McQueen behind the wheel. You want the same paint, seats, shifter, you name it that's connected to the movie and Steve McQueen. If you want a perfect car buy a tribute to this car, because this one is as real as it gets. If it ever hit the auction block it would sell for a new record in muscle car sales and that's a understatement.

[@JenniferNein]

There is just something about a Mustang, it's iconic, its wild and it's raw power.

[@killerkip1]

My mother owned one of the crashed bullit cars, her first husband rebuilt it and repaired the damage and she drove it for years.

[@xentihurst]

That is a special car and the movie will always be a classic.

[@TT_1221]

Amazing. There were two used in filming as I understand it, one for stunts and one for close ups. This one was bought by a warner bros. employee after filming was completed in 1968. Steve McQueen tried to buy it back unsuccessfully in 1977. It then went into hiding, until now. The other Mustang turned up in 2016 in a Mexico junk yard. (Vehicle Identification number confirmed). This is being restored.

[@mclarensenna6484]

Wow... i love that Mustang

[@isnannugraha1368]

To be honest. You can't drift it on gunma tho

[@Redlinesixtynine]

Amazing that they kept this car secret all these years..The timing of the reveal, 50 yrs after release of Bullitt, is perfect. Looking forward to seeing the Doc.

[@brettkoeshall2325]

They finally found the Bullitt Mustang.

[@cars4920]

I literally watched this movie today... The chances of me running into this video being uploaded so recently is nothing short of a sign. Amazing.

[@bestbonifacio640]

2018 just seems to be the BULLITT year!

[@spacecowboy5995]

I don't doubt that this is the REAL Bullitt Mustang, but personally, I think the current owner and his family are full of crap when they say that it was really special to them because of the movie. Years ago, I read about an interview that was done with the current owners father years before he passed and he admitted that he didn't really care much for the movie Bullitt and even less that Steve McQueen drove it. He only bought it because he was a huge fan of Mustangs in general and because it was (in his words) "in a movie", not THE movie Bullitt. Another thing I'd like to know is where the damage is that was supposedly on one of the rear quarter panels. It was either the owners father or a previous owner that supposedly drove it in a rainstorm and ended up spinning out and hitting a tree or some bushes or something that resulted in some damage. Cool car, no doubt, but the back story has some holes in it.

[@SteveRood1]

Can we track down the Guy who owns RDR 838 - The Dodge Charger which was used in the Movie ?!

[@splashibanez92]

Stefan Rood it was turned into a general lee in the 80's and jumped. Probably

[@patrikkiss4285]

@splashibanez92 nope. this is a '68 charger. general lee is a '69 one.

[@splashibanez92]

Stefan Rood they used 69 and modified 68s in the series!

[@devonriley110]

It was also a vinyl top car, so I doubt they would've made it into a Lee. A guy in Arizona claimed he had one of the movie cars a while back.

[@sd80macking]

Some of the Generals originally had vinyl tops that were removed for the show. The trim can be seen on a few of the cars...

[@tyopsie]

WHERE CAN I WATCH THIS TAKE MY MONEY

[@Vampirebear13]

EPIC beyond description. The greatest movie car of all time.

[@tylerseitz6337]

[@Kanamit.]

The Bullitt Mustang just sold for $3.4 million at Mecum Auctions on Jan 10th, 2020. With the buyers' premium, the total price came to $3.74 Million U.S. Dollars. That's a good price. This car could be worth $10 Million in the near future.

[@davidjohns84]

The most iconic car in movie history and it great to know its still in one piece and still running - fantastic to see and heartstoppingly gorgeous thanks for posting 👍

[@kmac5849]

It still lives and breaths, made iconic by such a cool star, taken too early😔

[@KnightDriveTV]

Awww man...this is a HUGE opportunity to do screenings in major cities and just make it a car mecca/extravaganza! When Fast/Furious 1 came out, I was deep in the car scene but imports weren't hugely prominent. We with Hondas in that year were few, but mixed in with Mustang guys, Camaro, old Starions, MKiii supras, you name it. When that movie release, the parking lots at theaters were like car shows of the biggest mix of enthusiasts you've ever seen. People hate on F&F, but it still caused a movement and a huge resurgence in the scene. This documentary is an opportunity.

[@jumpylebron]

just stumbled across this channel last night, was really hoping there’d be a Bullitt Mustang somewhere. absolutely awesome.

[@mi39471]

At 0:30 you see Walter Hill, the second assistant director for "Bullitt" waving his arm in a circle, giving us the universal sign for "Cameras Are Rolling." On this film, he would spend some of his time making sure pedestrians were being warned not to accidentally cross into the street when the Charger and Mustang were tearing through the San Francisco streets. Walter Hill would ultimately say, "Forget this job," and go on to write and/or direct "Hard Times," "The Warriors," "48 Hours," "Another 48 Hours," "Last Man Standing," "Johnny Handsome," "Southern Comfort," "Streets of Fire," "Crossroads," "Extreme Prejudice," "Brewster's Millions," "Red Heat," and "The Driver." He also one of the producers of the long-standing "Alien" franchise.

[@leomejia2723]

Thank you for taking care of BULLITT guys, God bless you I hope one day I could see it in person, that car gives tears of joy of Steve McQueen the king of COOL.

[@ryanmoore9029]

Just seen it on display,at the 2018 Woodward Cruise. Sweet!!!Gave me chills!!!

[@fanmanone]

The other has Been Found for Over 6 Months... I thought this video was about that car... But I am glad that this one was found... As for the other one: I hope it is put on display, restored But in the right way... Not with the new crappy touches of today... But like it was. Best way to honor the Bullitt Mustang And The King of Cool who drove it: Steve Mcqueen.

[@MrJustLes]

It's not that I'm old (LOL) but I can remember watching that when it first came out in 1968...

[@arstd99]

*Me too buddy. BTW, (5) hubcaps come off the Dodge Charger in the great chase. The Director of Continuity should have been fired.*

[@tannerphoenix9694]

I'm not a mustang fan. But this. I will make an exception. What a simple design. Beautiful work of art. This car is not green but a shiny red white and blue American pride.

[@2233golf2]

Still an undefeated beauty.....

[@tomgallagher1080]

Way cool!......at the same time I can only imagine how heartbroken it is to have let it go regardless how much it brought at auction. Hopefully the new owner will keep it in it’s original condition and show it the love your family has for so many years ❤️🤘😎

[@luckymuse9590]

This is the car that started me on my love of going fast and wanting one of my own. I am the proud owner of 5 mustangs and had everything from the turbo svo to an 521bb in my 83gt ..but this is the car of my dreams... Cant wait until the new one come out.

[@That_AMC_Guy]

I'm such a nerd. A few years ago when the car appeared at the LeMay Museum in Tacoma, WA; a friend and I stopped in for lunch and a walkabout on our trip to the Portland Swapmeet. The way this story unfolds is hilarious unto itself. That year, we took my brand new 2016 Mustang GT. I was wearing my dark blue t-shirt with the Mustang logo on the chest. We went into the museum and when we paid, the lovely lady at the front desk asked if I wanted to check my coat, as the museum could get quite warm. Sure. Why not? Hey, there's a new Bullitt Mustang right in the foyer. Cool! So we made our way through the museum and I think it was on the 2nd floor down, in one corner sat the screen-used McQueen Mustang. All decked out, velvet rope, chase scene on a screen on the wall in a running loop.... you know the drill. So, I'm standing there with my friend pontificating all the movie minutia I know about the car. I pointed out where Steve McQueen personally dented to the car to make it more realistic, I pointed out the camera mounting points that are STILL on the car to this very day. I showed date codes on the tires, I pointed out dents and damage on the car as they came up on screen behind me.................... I basically unloaded every piece of knowledge I knew about the car. Now, I'm not the most social creature out there but this whole time I was showing my friend stuff on the car, people were crowding around and they actually started asking ME questions; which I would then answer. I may not be very social, but I'm certainly not going to be rude when I'm a guest in a foreign country. So, anyway, when all was said and done, I said to my friend "And that, I'm sure is the complete history on the 1968 Steve McQueen Bullitt Mustang." And that's when the applause started. I finally look up to see that there had to be a crowd of at least 15 to 20 people in the area and all eyes were apparently on me. Two folks actually came up and shook my hand and said what a brilliant presentation I did. My friend and I were both floored. To our knowledge, we were just two nerds geeking-out on a car. The icing on the cake was as we were leaving, I had to go grab my coat from the coat check and as we're standing in line (as other people were doing) the front desk lady was being complimented from other patrons on the "Wonderful, Steve McQueen Mustang Historian downstairs that was giving his presentation..." The look on her face was complete bewilderment. My buddy heard the comment, elbowed me and began chiding me "Buddy, you're famous already!" When I claimed my coat, since we'd made an impression on the lady on the way in, she asked if we saw the same "presentation" as she had no idea what was going on. I replied "No, I didn't see it.... I was the one giving it...... apparently." We all had a really good laugh.

[@robertlee9395]

It's on display right now at the Auto Show in Detroit!

[@cousinbillybob3224]

It’s 2018 and I still love this film and anything about it. Everything about this film is just so cool..!

[@joebrown1382]

Finally a story of an iconic car being told. Makes me want to cry knowing it lives.

I think it may be even cooler now than it was 50 years ago, warts and all.

[@marktownsend4582]

Steve McQueen, the coolest of them all.....

[@semenprotector2027]

you know, the bullitt mustang was the reason I got into cars as a kid, and just as @Mike Dyer said this car really embodies the spirit of America. the most famous and highly sought after car ever made being used as a family car for the hardworking americans that keep us fed. I'm really happy that Mr. Kean for finally revealing the car after all these years and I hope he keeps it, as a token of sentimentality and what the very car was designed to represent from the start. America.

[@tedoakley5600]

This is the car used for the interior shots, not the outside shots. Two Mustangs were used in the filming, the wrecked one was scrapped and crushed.

[@user-iv6jk1dz8e]

If memory serves me correct, if this is truly the bullet, it will have a 390 Fe motor fitted with special lemans racing heads. That's why it is the most bad ass sounding motor in TV history.

[@larrysmith6797]

The sound in the movie is a double clutching Ford GT 40.

[@tonyman8941]

Daniel Craig should do a new bullet movie using the 2019 Mustang bullet

[@WyoCutlass71]

Tony Man here I was thinking I was the only one that thought Daniel Craig looks like Steve McQueen!

[@woopimagpie]

You know that's not a bad suggestion at all. He's got the cred to pull that off too. As long as the car is painted that same dark green I'm in.

[@fire48pw]

Good thought however Hollywood isn't the same as it was back then nor are the Actors. I would keep an open mind but I saw this on the big screen and nobody can pull off Steve McQueen and Hollywood would do the vast majority of it with technology rather than the old way because no one knows how to do that anymore. Just saying.

This preview was published 2 years ago today. The car has now been sold to a new owner and there’s no sign of this documentary......has it been cancelled?

[@gartw6381]

May 5, 2021 and still no show! Furthermore, the second owner of the Mustang has since passed away.😞

[@kenhorstmann6697]

Thanks for hanging in there. The documentary is now a series actively in production. Story is still developing. Unless you want to tell us who bought the car!

[@techsinthefuture9267]

Woww the bullitt mustang lives again .!!

[@shakerattleandrollgarage7223]

This is gonna be the greatest

[@That_NJ_guy]

Why does my home state NJ have all these cool cars but I don't see it.

[@g.t.5483]

they hide em cause if you know the winters here any classic would instantly rust and probably be seen once a year at the wildwood car show

[@That_NJ_guy]

G.T. I'm in Central Jersey. So I probably haven't seen it if it's in South Jersey.

[@g.t.5483]

im in central too and the wildwood car show is up north its like a 40 minute drive but its worth it for the 2 miles of classic cars also going to the philly auto show this month

[@That_NJ_guy]

G.T. My bad never been to the show. I'm live in New Brunswick and we usually small shows in the area but I want to go a big show eventually.

[@cpufreak101]

i've visited Jersey a few times, and online i always see a lot of cool cars with Jersey plates on them, heck, I even once saw one of the 12 or so US legal R34 skylines had a Jersey plate. I always hoped to see it, but was never able to. but there was a lot of other cool stuff around at least

[@bicyclexx7]

True Legacy there can never be another Bullitt

[@nelsona779]

This is amazing I always thought this car was crushed cuz somebody could have bought it and not knowing the background this is so badass someone should make a full documentary on this and I would like to one day see it for reals

[@Nikohere]

They just auctioned off & sold this beautiful 68 mustang for 3.4 million last week.

[@tiddbob4166]

If this car was restored or repainted I would lose my mind.....leave it Alone!

[@noneed4me2n7]

I have a 69fastback but the Bullitt mustang is my dream mustang. If I ever get another that’s the one I’m cloning.

[@stoppinghome8167]

Cool.... i hope i can the chance to see Little Pieces

[@edwins.9609]

I can’t wait!!

[@Longshadowsmodeltrees]

Cool, it's still alive.

[@That_NJ_guy]

WIDI 1956 this isn't the only one but the only one that seems to be mostly complete.

[@cnev3824]

its funny there was more of a crowd around the original bullet than the new one at the unveil at the detroit autoshow lol just proves you cannot beat the original

[@deweydodo6691]

would be epic to see both cars side by side .

[@JavierBonilla78]

Before Herbie and Jim Douglas in The Bug Love, and after Michael Knight and K.I.T.T. in Knight Rider, there were the Bullitt Mustang and Lt. Frank Bullitt in Bullitt.

[@anthonylaudano9751]

This is perfect example of a super rare mustang worth a ton of bucks.Thats why I believe my 2007 427 Nascar edition convertible GT500 supersnake will bring huge money some day along with my 2010 grabber blue GT500 supersnake. Time will tell.
