"Few movie cars are as instantly recognizable as the 1968 Ford Mustang that Steve McQueen drove in "Bullitt." That Highland Green car known now simply as the Bullitt Mustang took on a 1969 Dodge Charger on the streets of San Francisco in one of the greatest car chases captured on film. For decades, the original car was thought to be lost. That wasn't entirely the case. It's simply been kept out of the public's eye. Now it returns to the spotlight, finally taking its rightful place next to its successor, the new 475-horsepower 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt.
After filming wrapped on "Bullitt," Warner Bros. sold two cars off, one to a private buyer and another to a salvage yard. The salvage car was beaten and bruised thanks to a number of jumps and stunts during filming. While that one was eventually found in Baja California, the other Mustang has been quietly resting in a private collection for nearly 40 years. After the owner, Robert Kiernan, passed away in 2014, his son Sean contacted Ford to let the company know the whereabouts of the car."

yeah I saw that but it was like a year or two ago and I'm not sure this one was out and proud yet. that episode was sort of a mythical "what if" type of thing. still a good episode. I love that show. have no clue why they killed off whats his names' wife. the nurse.
Linda. Kinda hot. It was so abrupt that I wonder if there was a contract dispute or she had to leave for some reason. Helluva jolt when that happened.
It's a terrific show. Liberals go batshit about the weekly family dinner.
yeah I know but erin Reagan is kind of hot and used to date tom brady in real life- and she and her daughter take the lib side usually in the family discussions. so it's kind of balanced. that show is great. those family meals are absolutely priceless. tear jerker sometimes.
oh I never thought of that. well, it's an east coast catholic family. even the liberals go to church and pray out east like in boston and NY
by the way, I know a guy who had a 390 in a coupe mustang, I think it was a 1968, maybe 69 but he got like 11500 from a buyer in cali for it and it was a coupe not a fastback. seems high to me.
