Members,
I suppose we all have our reasons how we came to love the cars we own. I suspect for many of us, it was the first time we saw our favorite movie "bullitt" which arguably did more for the mustang than perhaps Carroll Shelby. Now, we've heard the car is somewhere in the mid south and finding would be like finding bigfoot. Well, I came across a website saying the VIN# for this most famous mustang is VIN 8R025125559. My question is, does anyone have a subscription to a registration website. I would love to get a peek at this car.

 

bullitt?

 

That's bleepng retarded

 

I don't know about that, maybe your typically overstated venom, but I had to google it to even know what bullitt is. I'm sorry, I was not quite yet 3yo when that movie came out.

 

And Joey scratches his thick skull wondering why he gets certain responses in return.

Based on the pop culture and impact movies had in the late 60's I think there's some truth to that. Bullitt movie not only exposed the Mustang farther and wider than before, but also spurred a number of other "chase" movies.
If SMQ's Bullitt isn't at the top, it is surely near the top.

IMO, I fell in live with the looks and fun of the 65 2+2 w/289. They sold a million Mustang's in 18 mos by 66 based on the first model.
The Shelby GT350 propelled the Mustang beyond the "secretary's car" and beyond just being cool into a track competitor.
And certainly the Boss was a wave of its own.

 

You don't know, so read up, because the bullitt is nothing in comparison...and my response is the correct one for such a statement .

 

Why do I have a feeling this is going to be shut down. Keep it clean, intelligent and on-topic.

 

I was actually referring to your expression. I don't know about THAT.

Point is, you don't always need to be quite so caustic.

 

I'm not usually, but that statement was soooooo far out of left field that it shocked me.

 

The bullitt was nothing but a black sheep begging. I'd buy a new Boss 1000 times before I would buy a bullitt...and I'm talking about the remake.

 

According to The Mustang Source timeline, Bullitt made the top as "most famous" for one year - at a minimum. :

 

I'm happy for ya

 

What? I've been a member for two weeks, and I've seldom seen you any other way.

 

I'm rarely that harsh, but that blew my mind.

If I saw a new bullitt just catch fire and I had an extinguisher on me, I wouldn't waste the extinguisher putting it out.

 

Thats a little much man. And pretty offensive to many here. What if i were to say i wouldnt use an extinguisher to put out an original shelby gt350 or gt500? You wouldnt like that right?
Lets keep things mild here before this thread goes any further south. Were all fam here and mustangs are mustangs no matter what edition, year, color, engine, etc. now shake hands and get along with your lives

 

someone find the first and only TMS Podcast, they made mention of the Bullitt cars and where they are now. If I remember correctly, perhaps the one in question is owned privately, and is not available for viewing.

 

Ive learned my lesson big bear!!!!

 

Honestly, ive never seen the movie, but ive heard alot about it! Guess im goin to have to watch it!! As far as the bullit goes... I think its a very good looking mustang!! I seen one on the showroom floor in 08 and it was awesome!! Im not big on any dark green colored sports car but it just works on the bullit for some reason!! And as far as what steve mcqueen and the bullit did for the mustang, i have no clue, i probably wasnt even born yet!! I knew nothing about mustangs but when i drove my brother in laws 90 lx 5.0 hatch 5-speed in high school, i fell in love and to me thats the most popular mustang for me!!! Thats the car that reeled me in!!!

 

You two are cracking me up!!!

 

But by all means be pugnacious.
