Selling partner Steve McQueen of Bullitt for $ 3.4 million

The legendary Bullitt Ford Mustang was auctioned and became the most expensive pony in the history of the model.

 

 

 

Ford Motor Company has been delivering two 1968 Mustang GT 390s to the makers of the 1968 action-packed engine, equipped with 330hp V8 engines. The car in question is driven by the legendary Steve McQueen in Bullitt. The other car used for the cascades in the lane was completely destroyed.

The fate of the car after the movie is unclear. He is believed to have been bought by an employee of Warner Bros. After that, his footprints reappeared in 1974 for sale in Road & Track magazines. There he is seen by the Kernan family who buys it. McQueen tries to buy the Mustang, but the Hollywood star refuses. Several times.

That is how we get to 2018, when Sean Kiarnan's son recovers the four-wheeled star of the movie just for Bullitt's 50th anniversary, in honor of which Ford launches the Bullitt Edition Mustang.

We are testing the super-exclusive Ford GT for well over a million levs

A few days ago, the Ford Mustang GT 390 in question was auctioned off to Mecum. The dark green car was bought by an unknown collector (called Frank), who paid $ 3.74 million for it (with taxes and fees, selling $ 3.4 million), making it the most expensive model in the history of the model. The price of the GT 390 in 1978 was about $ 3,500 (about $ 25,800).

This model captures one of the best car races in cinema history. It plays out on the streets of San Francisco, and for her, Bullitt receives an Oscar for installation.

The specimen sold has the original 6.4-liter V8 engine and a 4-speed manual transmission, with a range of 105,000 km.

Prior to this sale, the most expensive Mustang was the 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake. It was also auctioned in 2019 for $ 2.2 million.
