The other ‘Bullitt’ Mustang

Two identical 1968 Mustang GT fastbacks were used in the filming of the classic Warner Bros. movie “Bullitt” that debuted in theaters on October 17, 1968. After filming, the cars went their separate ways: the hero vehicle driven by McQueen in the movie was sold by Warner Bros. to a private buyer, and the other – used in many of the jumps during the famous chase scene – was sent to a salvage yard.

That jumper vehicle resurfaced in Baja, California, in early 2017, but the other was lost to history. The years of hunting for the “other” Bulitt Mustang ended when the owner of the elusive car called up Ford for a meet and greet with the car at a private garage.
