    By the way, those criticizing the owner for not taking care of it or restoring the car, you don't restore an ARTIFACT. This is NOT a collector car, it is a film and historical artifact. You don't restore historical artifacts or antiques, you preserve them as much as you can in their original state. (Side Note: recall Antiques Road Show where those furniture guys say 'This chest of drawers was worth $1 million, but you refinished it, now it is worth $10,000'); i.e., you don't resole George Washington's boots.
    Anyway, this is from that linked page, where an expert first saw the Bullitt Mustang to validate it was the car:
    "They needed a third party to validate that the car was, in fact, real. They called Kevin Marti, who signed a nondisclosure agreement and flew to Atlanta on his own nickel.
    Marti is . . . the guy you call with your VIN to find out your Ford’s original equipment. Along the way, he’s also become an expert at recognizing fake VIN tags.
    “I walked in to see the car,” he said, “and thought, ‘Here’s another car that looks like the Bullitt.’ I went over, looked at the VIN on the tag and immediately my emotions flipped from skepticism to ‘Oh, my god, it’s real.’ ”
    Marti marveled at the modifications made for the movie. Underneath the rockers, three metal tubes were clumsily welded perpendicular to the car’s center line for camera mounts. There were holes cut in the trunk for the cords that ran from a generator to power the cameras and lights. Even tape residue remained-on the tachometer to mark the redline, and on the floor, presumably to secure the seatbelts and wires. “Ninety-eight percent of the original car is there,” he said. “It’s an incredible artifact.”

      Indeed, its got the scars and scrapes that happened on film in the movie, you don't cover that up with bondo and a over restored paint job. The camera mounts are still welded underneath the rocker panels and mounts for Steve's close ups are still in the passenger floor pan. Why anyone would want to restore it is insane, then it'd look like any other tribute car

    I heard a while back that this mustang have been found, and saw the earlier announcement and drive. It warms my heart to see this car out and running even at low speed. Bullet was one of the McQueen’s best movies ever, and I still think it’s the best chase scene ever filmed. Since I’ll never get a shot at driving the original, I’ll be delighted to drive one of the new ones! I think this new Mustang is the best looking one ever built.

Since the guy was a Chevy guy - he said it was a piece of crap and was worth only $200 (the body was clean and straight). I cleaned up the car for her and told her to advertise it for $700.

      Armando Elias
      That’s right! Sean Kiernan and his dad made a wise decision to retain that “old beat up boat anchor” look to make it look like (as much as possible) when Steve McQueen last drove it. That’s what makes it worth over $3 million. If they had restored it to like new condition, then people would not recognize it from the movie.
      There is another UA-cam video of the 2019 Mustang Bullitt premier with Steve McQueen’s granddaughter Molly, which also shows Sean Kiernan, and the same 1968 Bullitt Mustang (alongside a 2019 Bullitt Mustang). In it, Sean explains his rationale for restoring it to that “old beat up boat anchor” look. Sometimes, restoring them like new is not what necessarily makes them the most valuable.

    •  6 років тому +1

      It was pretty clear to me that after the guy's dad bought the car he didn't do anything with it except refuse to sell it to Steve McQueen and let it deteriorate. On the one hand it's a shame it wasn't looked after properly, on the other hand at least it was never changed. The reason it's now worth about 4 million dollars is because it's all-original despite it's condition. Some people would say what they did was smart, others would call it dumb luck.

      Mike Vale to be fair Ford’s special/limited edition cars aren’t produced in meaningful numbers anyway so it’s not like they’re a major part of the sales. I think they’re mostly there to drum up excitement among the fan base and further the company’s image as a performance brand.
