Hace 51 años, o sea medio siglo atrás, Hollywood nos entregaba uno de sus filmes que hicieron historia a nivel mundial: BULLITT. Película policial de acción que tenía como interprete principal, nada menos que a STEVE MCQUEEN. Además se sumaban dos estrellas mecánicas que en las difíciles y empinadas calles de San Francisco, desarrollaron lo que se consideró la mejor persecución de automóviles de todos los tiempos. A partir de allí, escenas similares fueron parte de las películas de acción y con la llegada de la era digital, sin grandes riesgos, todo se hizo posible. Esa escena de 10 minutos de duración estaba acompañada con música del argentino Lalo Schiffrin y para realizarla, se utilizaron cuatro automóviles. Dos Ford Mustang 390 GT 2+2 Flashback conducidos por el Teniente BULLITT y dos Dodge Charger 440 Magnum R/T ocupado por dos peligrosos asesinos. De ellos, habría sobrevivido solo uno de los MUSTANG. Como dijimos, se trata de un Flashback 390 GT con motor V8 6.4 L de 335 HP a 4600 rpm de potencia y 579 Nm (59 kgm) a 3200 rpm de torque. Tiene caja manual de 4 marchas, acelera de 0 a 100 km/h en 7,8 s, de 0 a 400 m en 15,5 s y alcanza una velocidad máxima de 113 mph (182 km/h). Se le había hecho algunas modificaciones en motor, suspensión más reforzada y colocado algún soporte para cámaras de filmación. Ford en el 2018, al cumplirse los 50 años de la película lanzó al mercado el MUSTANG BULLITT, con detalles de alta calidad, en color Dark Highland Green, idéntico al del 390 GT del film. Vino equipado con motor V8 5.0 L atmosférico, aunque con el sistema de admisión es del deportivo Shelby GT350 y un dispositivo de escape activo, que permite variar el sonido del motor. Esta máquina entrega una potencia de 475 HP (15 más que el GT estándar) y un torque de 570 Nm (58 kgm); combinándose con caja de velocidades manual de 7 marchas.

Pero volviendo a nuestro viejo Mustang del siglo pasado, terminada la filmación los estudios Warner Brothers reparó el automóvil y lo vendió a un detective que vivía en la costa este. Años después, en 1974, a través de un aviso clasificado lo revendió por 6.000 dólares, como Mustang “Bullett” a ROBERT KIERNAN pasando a ser su automóvil familiar. Si bien no creyó que se tratara del utilizado en la película, en 1977 el propio STEVE MCQUEEN intentó comprárselo. Sabiendo entonces lo que tenía lo utilizó un par de años más y lo guardó conservándolo hasta su fallecimiento en el año 2014. Heredado por su hijo SEAN KIERMAN este luego de varios años decidió venderlo. Así podemos ver que la MECUM AUCTION, (1) la casa más grande del mundo en subastas de automóviles de colección lo rematará como el lote destacado en enero de 2020 en Kissimmee, Florida. Los entendidos pronostican una operación de DOS o más millones de dólares, considerando que es el MUSTANG más emblemático de la historia. Realizado el remate nos volveremos a encontrar para contarles más. Mientras, eleven el sonido y quienes peinan canas tienen 10 minutos para la nostalgia en un reencuentro con BULLITT y su MUSTANG GT FASTBACK 1968 en una riesgosa persecución a través de las empinadas calles de San Francisco.
Steve McQueen will always be the owner of the bullitt. Regardless who owns it now . King of cool

I am glad they will put this beauty in an exhibition. 22,000 Mustangs were sold on the first day it was available. I believe this is a feat that hasn’t been replicated since. I am going to go out on a limb here and say it was an instant icon, with later movies and motor sports aside.
this ’69 Mustang Fastback was never owned by Mr. McQueen. That, unfortunately, slashes its potential earning figures, but you’re still left with a car that’s in great condition.
So cool. Two identical 1968 Ford Mustang GT fastbacks were used in the filming of the classic Warner Bros. movie “Bullitt” that debuted in theaters on Oct. 17, 1968. After filming, the original Ford Mustang movie 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. Until now. Sean Kiernan, owner of the original Steve McQueen Ford Mustang hero vehicle, inherited the car in 2014 from his late father, Robert, who had purchased the original Bullitt Mustang in 1974. To fulfill his family’s lifelong dream, Sean contacted Ford and the two parties worked together to reveal his movie star Ford Mustang alongside the all-new 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt at the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
“You know, it was never our intention to keep this car a secret from everybody,” Sean said. “It just kind of happened with life. I’m just completely buzzing to join with Ford and the new Bullitt and show this car to the world on one of the biggest stages there is.”
“When making a Bullitt, there are certain things it absolutely must have,” said Carl Widmann, Mustang chief engineer. “It has to have the right attitude, it has to be unique in some way from a Mustang GT, and more than anything, it has to be bad ass.”
That reputation was born after a Ford Mustang GT fastback played a prominent role in the 1968 movie, and most notably in a chase scene that set new standards in filmmaking. The film’s nearly 10- minute-long sequence followed McQueen chasing down two hitmen in his Mustang through the streets of San Francisco.
“This new Bullitt is, as Steve McQueen was, effortlessly cool,” said Darrell Behmer, Mustang chief designer. “As a designer, it’s my favorite Mustang – devoid of stripes, spoilers and badges. It doesn’t need to scream about anything – it’s just cool.”
I still believe that scene saved more lives than any public service bulletin, us kids would always give each other a mean look when we buckled up, this was serious business and if you were driving a 60’s car it was !
Good point, I did not think about that but you are right, I am a Baby Boomer and when we wanted to “psychologically” impress someone, we would “buckle-up” just for the look of this movie. Peace be with you, Good comment,

I still remember this movie… and McQueen was a god…
I have no doubt this is simply one of the most exciting and intelligent action films in years, probably the best good-cop film we can expect to encounter
What a car and what a movie. It was the pioneer of car chases. The car chase was out of sequence moving in seconds from one end of the city to another. Places they pass in the chase include Russian Hill, Bernal Heights, Marina Blvd near Crissy Fields, Potero Hill. John McLaren Park, and ends on Highway 1. It’s said that they wanted to perform the chase across the Golden Gate Bridge but couldn’t get permission. There are several interactive maps on the web showing the actual routes the chase followed.
Do NOT RESTORE, mechanical service, refresh suspension, new tires, clean everything three times, protect with high quality wax and drive the snot out of it
Creo que la carta de Steve Mcqueen también debe ser muy cara …

I’d like to point out the 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt is technically an homage to the 1968 Steve McQueen film “Bullitt,” and specifically the Mustang in that movie that participated in one of the most famous car chases in film history. Its green paint, 1960s-style black wheels, cue ball shifter and various Bullitt badging would be the tell-tale sign of this tie-in. However, the Mustang Bullitt is so much more than that. Even if you had no idea there was a movie, the Bullitt would be the coolest, best-driving and generally most appealing 2019 Mustang.
Besides its subtle and oh-so-cool appearance (Steve McQueen was really onto something with that look),
Me gustaría señalar que el Ford Mustang Bullitt 2019 es técnicamente un homenaje a la película de 1968 de Steve McQueen “Bullitt”, y específicamente al Mustang en esa película que participó en una de las persecuciones de autos más famosas en la historia del cine. Su pintura verde, las ruedas negras estilo años 60, la palanca de cambio de bola blanca y varias insignias de Bullitt serían el signo revelador de este vínculo. Sin embargo, el Mustang Bullitt es mucho más que eso. Incluso si no tuviera idea de que había una película, el Bullitt sería el Mustang 2019 más genial, mejor manejado y generalmente más atractivo.
Además de su apariencia sutil y genial (Steve McQueen estaba realmente en algo con ese aspecto),

You youngsters don’t know cool if you don’t know McQueen! He basically went airborne in that Mustang over the streets of San Francisco and invented the exciting car chase single handed. But, back to the review…
¡Ustedes jóvenes no saben bien si no conocen a McQueen! Básicamente se fue en el aire en ese Mustang por las calles de San Francisco e inventó la emocionante persecución en automóvil con una sola mano. Pero, volviendo a la revisión …

What about Kevin Costner hair in the Bodyguard?
Here it is:
In 1976, McQueen brought up the idea for a film involving a music star being protected by a bodyguard from a stalker. The film, initially seen as a vehicle for McQueen and Diana Ross, was shelved for nearly 20 years until it was finally made as The Bodyguard in 1992, starring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston.
¿Qué pasa con el cabello de Kevin Costner en el Bodyguard?
Aquí está:
En 1976, McQueen planteó la idea de una película que involucra a una estrella de la música protegida por un guardaespaldas de un acosador. La película, inicialmente vista como un vehículo para McQueen y Diana Ross, fue archivada durante casi 20 años hasta que finalmente se realizó como The Bodyguard en 1992, protagonizada por Kevin Costner y Whitney Houston.

It will be cool if they rent ths car by the hour. It’ll be my dream come true.
When is yhe show and where?
Vegas, sometime in July
Back when putting on a seatbelt meant you were about to do some serious driving.
if it was like in the UK in the 70s, kids in the back wouldn’t have any belts on at all ! Crazy really.
I guess
I still believe that scene saved more lives than any public service bulletin, us kids would always give each other a mean look when we buckled up, this was serious business and if you were driving a 60’s car it was !

Great great movie. I wonder what happened to William Petersen…
Check out Wong music, one of the best soundtracks ever
That movie is one of my fav 10
No ABS, limited traction control. Just Man and V8 Motor.
I know I’m not supposed to watch the car chase at work, but… I am obsessed with this movie…
It is the best car chase scene ever.
Yep amazing
Ronin is another movie with great scenes like that
Nothing like bullitt tho
By far
This is the real deal. What a car.
This car design is immortal
I have no doubt this is simply one of the most exciting and intelligent action films in years, probably the best good-cop film we can expect to encounter
Love this car. Absolutely… da bomb.
The action scenes are brilliant, done without trickery in real locations (including the amazing car chase which spawned a thousand imitations)
And it was done in 1968!!!
Steve McQueen was the best. I would pay good money to see hi in the bodyguard even tho Kevin Costner was great on it
This is the Silver Chalize of cars
She is a beauty

The most iconic movie car ever
The Bullitt really flies under the radar. It’s the archetype of cool.-.
This one, and the charger are my fav desing
I wonder what happened to the charger?
The rumor has it that the Charger was down in Tucson then was restored still had all the camera mounts in it.
I believe it was down in Old Mexico
And u r right on the $
No es porque lo uso macqueen, es porque el auto es lindo, poderoso a la vista
I read years ago there was at least 4 of them used in the movie
I’d love to ride that car…
this movie has sooo many memories for me…(yes I’ve got my eyes wet..so what.!)
Steve McQueen will always be the owner of the bullitt. Regardless who owns it now . King of cool
Yeah… the real McQueen
Another great informative piece of history “however Steve McQeen was and still the king of cool.
