When you think about famous car chases in movies, the classic footage of a dark green 1968 Mustang jumping up and down San Francisco’s hills in pursuit of a stoic, black 1968 Dodge Charger T/T 440 Magnum will most certainly roll in your memory. The Highland Green 2-door Fastback has since gone on to become a cult classic also, in part, due to the mystique that shrouded it.
There were actually two cars used during filming: one for all the action shots and one that Steve McQueen a.k.a, the ’King of Cool’ drove during the more serene moments of the Bullitt movie. After McQueen failed to buy it in the late ’70s, people thought that chassis #8R02S125559 had gone missing. Happily, the whereabouts of both cars came to light, so the story does have a happy ending.
