Je précise qu'il s'agit d'une Mustang Fastback . Autrement dit avec un hayon quoi.

Et bien moi, mon avis sera bref : cette voiture est pour moi un mythe ; un jour, j'aurai une Mustang, ça c'est sûr ; si possible un modèle approchant.

Pourquoi ? Parce que Steve Mac Queen est mon idole de jeunesse, et continue de l'être à bientôt 40 berges !

On mélange la passion de l'auto, du cinéma américain avec une idole trop tôt disparue (1980, déjà !) et on obtient une admiration pas forcément fétichiste pour un modèle devenue une légende.

Voila l'exemple typique de l'adulation de l'amérique pour ce que l'on peut aujourd'hui classifier comme des oeuvres d'art.

Si les mustangs d'aujourd'hui ont certainement perdu de leur charme, il n'en reste pas moins que la simple évocation du nom MUSTANG laisse tout simplement rêveur...

Non ?

De plus, pour les fans de Steeve Mac Queen, il y a eu il n'y a pas longtemps une expo sur cet acteur, au parc expo de Caen, durant la foire internationale, elle était vraiment complète, avec des objets et photos collectées par un fan, pour des fans.

McQueens' Mustang is similar to one my cousin bought in 1967. He bought one of the first 100 produced which were supposed to have the 390 V8. He claimed that his had a 427 like the rest of the first 100 big block models. It was the fastest car I have ever been in!

The '68 Mustangs used in the movie (all four of them) where slightly customised on the outside. Underneath, they were massively reinforced to withstand the jumps. The engines were severely hopped up too on two of them, because the completely stock Dodge Charger 440 R/T was so much quicker, that it outran the stock Mustangs by such a margin, that the chase scene couldn't have been filmed at all. The Charger also withstood the jumps without any modifications, but it lost 7 hubcaps during the chase scene :-)

2006-06-26 00:37

The four Mustangs used in the film all had different engines. The one used for the high speed shots was a 390 cid big block while the other 3 were all dressed up 289 cid Mustangs. Also an interesting fact is that when the Charger slams into the gas station, if you watch close enough, you actually see the Charger miss the station completely! The explosion was set off anyway by the charges because this shot could really only be done in one take.

Skid US

2006-07-02 04:19

I had always heard there were only two Mustangs used for this film...both were 390 four speed GTs with customized exteriors and deluxe interiors.

One was destroyed making the film, the other supposedly is in some guy's barn in Kentucky and he refuses to sell it. The surviving car was used mainly for interior shots and scenes prior to the chase.

Apparantly it was McQueen and a stunt driver (I'm tempted to say it's the same guy that did the motorcycle jump in the Great Escape, but I'm not certain, and I can't remember his name). Either way, you can tell when it's the stunt driver because the rear view mirror is angled down.

That´s correct. They used only two Mustangs and two Chargers. The Mustangs had consecutive VINs, both GT with the 390ci engine and manual 4speed. Ther´s no doubt that both Chargers and one of the Mustangs had been scrapped.

It was mentioned that the mustang had to be modified because it was completely blown away by the charger, this is partially true, partially not. The cars were designed for two different reasons, one for the track, the other for the dragstrip. The mustang had to be modified to keep up with the charger on the highway, but completely blew the charger away in the city scenes. If you listen to the movie, McQueen wasn't even on the gas in the city scenes.

Most of McQueens driving was him driving,with a little bit of it being Bud Elkins.The Charger was actually driven by Bill Hickman,who was in reality one of the greatest stunt drivers of the time.(Or ever)He also played the part of the bad guy who was driving it.

That's because - as was mentioned earlier - the Charger was hampered with skinny wheels and tires for filming based on its earlier track dominance. Besides which, listening to the movie is useless, since the Mustang's engine sounds were dubbed in.

its terrible that Ford is remaking the thunderbird,mustangs and all other classic era cars (the only remotely acceptable one being the GT but it still does not surpass how much the original GT stepped up Ford in a big way with supercar like that, hench the ferrari killer)

BUT its especially worse when they remake a classic car from an even more classic film such as Steven McQueen's BULLITT

No...what's FAR worse is remaking Bullitt with Brad Pitt as Lt. Frank Bullitt, which rumours have been circulating around for this year. I'll bet they'll use a Bullitt Mustang and a 2008 Charger too. If Steve McQueen was alive today, he'd wring the necks of everyone responsible for this impending, catastrophic disaster...

This Is a Ford Mustang GT390 fastback in highland green. Highland green is offered exclusively for the Ford Bullitt package in 2008, and also in 2001. I believe that there were actually 2 Mustangs used during the movie: one flipped int a ditch and was destroyed, while the other is owned.

I haven't heard anything about the remake for quite a while. I'm thinking it was either scrapped or just an urban legend, hopefully. IMDB diesn't say anything either. Fingers crossed!

I don't entirely hate Brad Pitt, but come on, trying to replace Steve McQueen in Bullitt? What's next? Christian Bale as Virgil Hilts? :(

Worst case scenario, the new Bullitt would be a Bruckheimer/Bay collaboration. The chase (*cough* CGI *cough*) would have indestructible/self-repairing cars (we'd never complain about the hubcaps in the original again), the gunfight at the airport would have a couple of full-automatic weapons thrown in the mix, Bullitt's girlfriend (Jolie cameo) would spend half the movie topless, and *ugh* come 2012 we'd be treated to a sequel.

Kill me.

There were actually two 1968 Ford Mustang 390 GT's was used in Bullitt. The exterior color which is actually Metallic Cadillac Green with Jet Black interior. The Ford Black and Chrome factory mags look like the American Racing after market mags in the stores. The Mustang used in the beauty shots actually change ownership three times after McQueens death in 1980. The Mustang is actually now in the fourth owners barn in Ketucky, and he refuses to sell it.

If the exterior colour "is actually metallic Cadillac green..." why do ford sell their Bullitt special editions in ford highland green?, and why do all the references that I've ever seen say that the two mustangs supplied were in highland green?.Can't see Ford painting their cars in a GM colour and can't beleive the movie company would go to the trouble of repainting them, especially considering that the film is not about the car (even though We all know it is really,has anyone ever actually managed to successfully figure out the plot to this film?).

Steve McQueen did a short part of the high speed chase. (The scene where he came off the road, looked outside of his window, and started up again). The director did not want him to get hurt doing the chase scene, so his action was cut down to that one scene. This was included in the commentary on the DVD version of the movie.

blueskies US

2010-01-04 05:33

The mags were NOT Ford, probably American. Also, GTs had cutouts at the bottom edge of the rear valence for quad tailpipes (missing in the pics). Non GTs were available with 390-2v. Considerable head work was done to chase Mustang and Casler tires were used.

I've read several comments here about how the Mustang had to be hopped up to keep up with the Charger. That's bullcrap, gentlemen. I was an auto mechanic from 1971 to 1991. I was considered one of the best in the panhandle of Florida. Part of this time was spent in two Ford dealerships. Although this was well after the film was made there were plenty of these cars on the road. It was a great time to be alive and working in a garage. I saw a lot and heard a lot from older veteran mechanics. There is no way the Mustang had trouble keeping up with the Charger, 440 notwithstanding. This is because the Mustang was lighter. Even with frame modifications for the jumps. The Mustang was constructed as a semi unitbody, the front end having a partial frame that bolted to the unitbody underneath the cowl and firewall. The Dodge Charger handled like a big marshmallow in the turns compared to the Mustang. That's readily apparent in the film. The first Mustangs were not engineered from the ground up, they were highly modified Ford Falcons. I've been under enough of these cars to know. Any mods other than to the frame were in the form of changing the gear ratio in the rear end. It most likely was changed to something like a 4:11 ratio ring and pinion set. This gave the Mustang better acceleration out of the turns. The Ford 390 was a mighty good engine. Even with a two barrel it ran pretty fast. The high ratio rear end cut the top end speed. With a higher ratio ring gear and pinion the Mustang with the 390 could easily go 125 mph, probably 130. I pushed a 1969 Pontiac Custom S with 350 engine and two barrel carb, stock condition, to 125 mph in 1974 and it was a bigger car.

One of the Mustangs was so damaged it had to be crushed for liability purposes. It may have been the one that had its oil pan ripped open and spewed oil and smoke everywhere. You can see it if you watch carefully.

Both Chargers survived. The non-R/T was repainted yellow and sold back to the dealership. The R/T was sold to Arnold Welch after filming.

Cycolac Fan EN

2014-09-30 13:44

Read several interviews with on set mechanics and transport people saying two Highland Green Mustangs with consecutive VINs - both heavily modified suspension and engine tuning, three Chargers all slowed down with skinner tyres to allow the Mustangs to keep up.

I'll believe what they say since they were on set with the actual cars.

Say, I just came back from seeing a discussion (on the Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 page) saying: "If the movie isn't about the car, which is only driven by a main character here, then it deserves four stars, not five." Why do this Mustang and the Charger have five stars then? They're not exactly part of the movie.

With the 5 star rating thing there's always meant to have been an element of it being for iconic and well known movie cars (even if they don't have the whole/majority of the movie about them) and, IMO, the Bullitt Mustang is one of the most iconic movie cars ever.

Sean Kiernan tells the story about how his father, a guy from New Jersey, spotted an ad in Motor Trend selling a "Bullett" Mustang and bought the car for six grand. The reason that it "vanished" is that it's completely unrestored and New Jersey authorities preferred that it stay off public streets so the family decided to keep its presence a secret.

This car set a record for a Mustang at auction today at $3.4 million ($3.74 million with the buyer's premium). The winning bid was placed by telephone and the new owner has not been identified by Mecum's, according to ABC News.

In an interview today on CBS This Morning, Robbie Kiernan said she considered the Mustang as just a used car when she drove it to work every day as a third-grade teacher in New Jersey. The segment is on the CBS This Morning YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5qKCpqNBwo Her late husband was the only one to respond to the classified ad offering it for sale.

I got to see the Bullitt Mustang in 2018 when it was displayed outside the Smithsonian on the National Mall after being added to the National Historic Vehicle Register:

I think this car deserves five stars [*][*][*][*][*], as it is truly a part of the movie: Most people remember the movie for this car, and don't even know the plot at all. Also, Ford made a special edition Bullitt Mustang 50 years after this movie, so five stars are justified, in my opinion.

It should have a four star rating. The star rating is not about a car being iconic, it's about it being directly part of the plot not just a car owned by the detective. In the Blues Brothers the police car is spiritually guided so it's more than just the car they're driving. In Duel the movie is literally about the semi truck. Neither of my examples are like the Mustang.

I think I can finally identify the diffences between the two Mustangs used in the film. When Steve McQueen drives away from the car wash, the Mustang had cutouts in the rear valance for the exhaust pipes which I believe that one would in fact be a GT. But the one in the main photo (and throughout the chase) might NOT a GT after all (despite some articles saying that both of them were) due to the lack of cutouts in the valance.
