1967 Ford Mustang For Sale

Some of the most valuable and collectible automobiles today are those that featured prominently in major motion pictures—everything from James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 in “Goldfinger” to the Mustang Fastback that Steve McQueen drove in the movie “Bullitt.” This 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback is a no-expense-spared custom built to replicate McQueen’s famous Bullitt Mustang.

The iconic 1968 film “Bullitt” featured what most experts consider to be the first modern-day car chase scene, one that was executed with such innovation and finesse that it became the standard for all that followed. Longer, faster and more action packed than anything before it, the 10-minute car chase scene was the first to use cameras in a way that put the audience right inside the cars and alongside the actors. The two Highland Green 1968 Mustang fastbacks used in the scene both featured the GT package and 390 CI V-8. As McQueen considered the car itself to be a character, not just another prop, he was particular about the look and feel of the car, having the emblems and back-up lights removed and adding gray Torq Thrust wheels to make the car look a bit meaner, more befitting of his character, Lt. Frank Bullitt. The Mustang’s grille was blacked out, and the paint was scuffed to give it more of an authentic, road-tested look.
