saw that and the car was very rough. Seems like a lot o cash. Wouldn't mind a new Bullit in green but Id have to put cragars on it as I hate black wheels. And they dyno 425 to 430 at the rears......

Watched it live yesterday. So exciting I had to change my shirt when it was over.

It's a rough GT, but there is no other like it. Iconic doesn't even begin to describe it.

Love my '19 Bullitt. Like this one, it is not much more than a regular GT, but oh so special.

Saw the photos of the car’s condition before the auction. Was kind of shocked. Knew it would go for crazy money though.

What gets me is imagining the type of garage it is likely going to enter into. Picturing what it looks like, what type of cars are in there, and then picturing what this will look like next to the lot.

Ford should capitalize and come out with a 2021 E-Bullitt. :eek:

I wish I still had my 67 Mustang GT fastback. It had a 390 v8 and a 4 speed just like the Bullit car. Unfortunately I sold it for a bit less than 3.5 million.

a fool and his money are soon departed


Speaking of this, back in mid 70's I drove, had opportunity to buy a Dodge Daytona fastback, 1969, all I remember about it was it rocked sideways idling, and was beginning of the gas problems, so I got a bug

And all the CL sellers of best up rusty, beat up Colnago Supers take note.

Watched the auction with my 95 year old father. What a thrill! The price is actually higher than $3.4 million when you throw in the Mecum Auction sale percentage of 10%. Amazing!

Yep, $3.74M.

It's interesting that there was only one car. Seems like nowadays it would take multiple cars to take the beating that this one got

google says there were two movie cars...one for stunts and one for close-ups with SM at the wheel.

the stunt car was reportedly trashed and scrapped.

the 'hero' car is the one that just sold at auction.

It looks like this.....I just need to clean out the 3rd bay. :p:p

Okay, that make sense. That's no fun at all, I wouldn't have given a penny over $2million for that

There are scenes in the movie where you can see the square tubing they used for camera mounting. It's STILL one of the greatest chase scenes to this day.
