This my 1968 Builitt Mustang replica a Highland Green Ford Mustang Fastback asfeatured in the 1968 movie Bullitt starring Steve McQueen. The film was a critical and box-office smash, later winning the Academy Award for best film editing. Bullitt is also notable for its car chase scene through the streets of San Francisco, regarded as one of the most influential in movie history.

I purchased my Mustang from America 20 years ago and had it completely resprayed in America before bringing it to the UK.

I wanted one after watching the film bullitt, I just liked the shape and style.

Once I got it to the UK over the years I changed the steering wheel, the indicator stalk to have a flashing light on it just as they did for Steve McQueen, I even replicated the original camera mounts and managed to acquire the exact registration plate that was on the film car JJZ 109, I have also done other minor alterations to make it as true to the film as possible.

It has a 5 ltr engine tuned to 300bhp.

It’s currently in the paint shop having a full body restoration and freshen up, all ready for the 2025 show season.

Bullitt is a 1968 American crime action thriller film directed by Peter Yates from a screenplay by Alan R. Trustman and Harry Kleiner and based on the 1963 crime novel Mute Witness by Robert L. Fish. It stars Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn, Jacqueline Bisset, Don Gordon, Robert Duvall, Simon Oakland, and Norman Fell. In the film, detective Frank Bullitt (McQueen) investigates the murder of a witness he was assigned to protect.

A star vehicle for McQueen, Bullitt began development once Yates was hired upon the completion of the screenplay, which differs significantly from Fish’s novel. Principal photography took place throughout 1967, with filming primarily taking place on location in San Francisco. The film was produced by McQueen’s Solar Productions, with Robert Relyea as executive producer alongside Philip D’Antoni. Lalo Schifrin wrote the film’s jazz-inspired score. Bullitt is notable for its extensive use of practical locations and stuntwork.

Bullitt was released in the United States on October 17, 1968, by Warner Bros.-Seven Arts. It was a critical success, with praise for its screenplay, editing, and action sequences: its car chase sequence is regarded as one of the most influential in film history. The film received numerous awards and nominations, including being nominated for two Academy Awards, winning for Best Film Editing. It grossed $42.3 million worldwide, becoming one of the highest-grossing films of 1968. In 2007, Bullitt was preserved in the U.S. National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
