Description
Film and classic car buffs will be well aware of the iconic movie ‘Bullitt’ staring Steve McQueen, who plays an all guts cop named Frank Bullitt.
He and two other cops are assigned to what seems like a normal case; to watch a witness for 48 hours before he goes to trial.
It all goes wrong when one officer and the witness are injured before the trial.
Bullitt vows to catch the hit men and the Mafia boss that hired them, resulting in Steve McQueen, in a Mustang, chasing the men in their R/T 440 Dodge Charger; a chase that ends with the Charger ploughing into a petrol station.
What happened to the cars after the filming? The Mustang, the Charger's nemesis, survived the filming, was repaired, cleaned up, and later sold for $2500.
The Charger, with only 600 miles showing on the odometer, was destroyed in the crash and fire.
Although the original Charger was destroyed, we have on offer today an opportunity to acquire a similar iconic R/T 440 for those would-be villains and hit men.
