LA Times:

There are few cars more iconic than the 1968 Mustang GT that Steve McQueen drove in “Bullitt.”

But that car disappeared shortly after filming for the 1968 movie was completed and, despite the late actor’s attempts to locate and purchase it for his private collection, hasn’t been seen since.

Now a pair of car restorers claim to have found the car — in a scrapyard in Baja California — and brought it back to life. And the country’s most respected Ford authenticator says it’s the real deal.

This is one of the most recognizable cars in film history. While I personally find the film dated and the revered chase scene boring with continuity errors that make me crazy, car and action film buffs love it.
