Transforming A 1968 Charger Into The Bullitt Villain Car

We break down our latest completed build: the 1968 Dodge Charger turned into a Bullitt Villain chase car. Arguably one of the best automative car chases to be filmed the movie Bullitt had two of the greatest muscle cars pinned against each other in this classic film. Sit back and watch as we transform our Charger in less than 10 mins (on film).

[@aboutsoundandvision]

Best year of the Charger in my opinion. The front grill looks mean as hell and the double barrel shotgun tail lights is the one of the cleanest muscle car rear ends in my opinion.

[@robertkees6048]

I think you're right. I collect 1/18 diecast movie/tv cars and recently bought a Bullit Mustang, it's due to arrive soon. But the 68 Bullit Charger is like $200, more than I can justify paying so I picked up a black 69 Charger that looks almost identical, the tail lights are not round unfortunately, and the front grill is the same but split. It'll due cause it's a second banana car for display and you won't see the tail lights or much of the front grill, and it was $34, all I have to do is a little work on the hub caps and it'll look close enough for rock and roll.

[@JustDriven]

The round tail lights are so classic looking. We all think they should have kept them.

[@robertkees6048]

@@JustDriven Yeah they look great, but hindsight is always twenty twenty. I'd love to have them on the diecast, but I'm not paying $200 for the privilege.

[@aboutsoundandvision]

@@robertkees6048 I am actually building a 1:25 scale model of the car right now

Awesome charger! one of the best looking classic muscle cars ever!!!

[@JustDriven]

We agree with you!

[@bobbymckinney1264]

That is beautiful my dad had a black 68 I love them wish I had one looked that good

[@JustDriven]

Thanks. We love a mean ole Charger around here. Maybe you could restore one?

[@adamn5821]

Looks amazing!

[@JustDriven]

Classic, simple, and perfect for us!

Great job guys, Awesome! Didn't see any R/T badges however.

Ben spoilt with charger content on this channel lately :)

Yah you have! When it rains...?

[@BlackAdam2784]

This channel rocks. With Adrian being my favorite. Just seems like a true master craftsman.

[@JustDriven]

Thank you so much. We tell Adrian how awesome he is all the time.

[@scarbourgeoisie]

Very nice. Was not expecting the modern tunnel ram fuelie atop the vintage BB Mopar, but it didn't disappoint either, that's for sure. If it runs as good as it sounds, it's a solid upgrade.

[@JustDriven]

Thank you! It runs smooth and sounds tough! And we love being able to row through the gears, putting that power into our own hands.

[@wescoupland3985]

So cool next you just need the Steve McQueen green Mustang that would be definitely one of my favorite vehicles to see and you know that he did all of his own driving stunts too and it's so cool cuz back then it was like so predominant that these that these cars were manual just dropping clutches and banging gears so cool

[@JustDriven]

We have a Mustang build we started restoring to be the green McQueen Mustang. But we have shifted gears on that a bit and might do something different.

[@gerald4133]

Dad had a '66 383 but liked the '68 round talk lights!

[@carebear2272]

Looks like you got everything right except the engine and transmission

[@JustDriven]

Yah, we had to balance what was seen on screen with attempting to not go overboard (like we tend to do).

[@carebear2272]

I have same hub caps on mine, like to do the same on mine although there not to bad

It's too bad Bill Hickman passed away before you guys rebuilt the car that made him famous from his first movie/stuntman career that got started way back then. RIP Bill Hickman. You were a hell of a bad guy in the greatest car chase that's ever been filmed.

[@JustDriven]

Yah, we loved that movie and he was so good in that film.

[@Cosmicjew1974]

That was great fellas!!!! talk about a dream car oh my gosh!!!!

[@JustDriven]

Thanks! We had a lot of fun with this one.

[@wkanost]

Ship it to my house.

[@JustDriven]

We did. It came back to us saying "undeliverable." Not sure what happened.

[@gerald4133]

I burned a valve showing of to a friend at Kroger nobody called the police 351 c Mach 1. I learned enough from my GM Buddy at 17 I rebuilt the whole engine. We was MOPAR guts but I learned to like most engines I heard they trashed 3 RT charges .

[@JustDriven]

Those are great memories. Thank you for sharing.

Obrigado.

[@robertkees6048]

That's a proper villain's car isn't it, it just looks like it's up to no good. Everywhere it goes people think it's shop lifting, and at church it steals the donation money, it may have taken your lunch money as well. You see that thing around you keep an eye out on it.

[@JustDriven]

Definitely lunch money.

[@jamesrobbins8938]

🤣😂🤣

[@Guy-mx4fb]

Do vinyl tops installed today last longer than before

[@JustDriven]

That's a good question. Some of the materials could possibly last longer. We always try to pick a quality material we think looks good and should last a long time. Now you have us wondering if they last longer than back in 1968.

[@firzar581]

Damn, I wish I had one like this

[@JustDriven]

This Charger was in amazing shape.

[@bobbyblenio4571]

Awww…I liked the White🤣….anyway Good Job ! I’ve watched Bullet 4-5 times…what really makes it Fun is I Grew up in San Fran…I’ve watched Bullet probably 2 more times in the Last 5 years🤑

[@JustDriven]

The white was awesome, but the black was the menacing look we were hunting for. Only twice in 5 years? Maybe it's time to watch it again!?

[@SunnyDaysRFun]

So now where is it, what's the plan?

[@JustDriven]

We got an offer on it and it just sold.
