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!!!

We agree with you!

Classic, simple, and perfect for us!

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?

[@masterroshi1338]

Here from RestoMods lol, you guys killed it with this 68'. amazing work.

Thank you so much! We had so much fun with that build.

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

[@JustDriven]

They're there. We added them as a cake topper/finishing touch.

[@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.

[@caseyspeer8179]

I think if you show this to Vin Diesel he would love to drive it

[@JustDriven]

We've seen the way he drives Chargers....haha.

[@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.

Awesome! Sounds like he has great taste.

Awesome work!

Thanks a lot!

[@earlputnal9124]

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.

That looks like my dad's driving & now I passed it on to my daughter!

[@firzar581]

Damn, I wish I had one like this

[@JustDriven]

This Charger was in amazing shape.

[@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]

🤣😂🤣

[@lunawerding]

that white 68 charger looked super clean before you touched it. I hope that wasnt the original paint would be an absolute shame if you did that

[@JustDriven]

Most of the cars we restore are not perfect. We respect the history of every vehicle we touch. Your comment makes it sound like you think the Charger didn't look clean AFTER we touched it.

[@lunawerding]

​@@JustDriven no what i mean is that the whole redo was unnecessary if that was the original paint. Chargers in that condition with original paint are really rare nowadays (this thing still had vinyl and the original wheels too). If you used one that needed a full redo anyway i wouldnt be bothered, but this one looked fine the way it was. They are original only once

[@JustDriven]

Yah, this one wasn't as nice as it seemed. If it was we would have found a different car to molest.

[@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.

[@wkanost]

Ship it to my house.

[@JustDriven]

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

[@svenmartin840]

Vin Diesel would have a very big smile on his face.

[@JustDriven]

He saw our other Toretto Charger but didn’t get a chance to see this one.

[@tomhext1229]

Nevermind, just saw em

[@JustDriven]

[@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.

[@SunnyDaysRFun]

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

[@JustDriven]

We got an offer on it and it just sold.

[@jimwoodson4068]

What are the specs on that cam?

[@JustDriven]

We didn't change any of the internals from when we purchased the vehicle from its previous owner.
