THE Original Bullitt Mustang Found in Mexico?
It appears that one of (arguably the) most famous Mustangs of all time has been found in Mexico, and was ironically slated to be turned into an Eleanor clone.

Looks pretty legit from the thread. I'm sure more will come out soon if it is true.

I read that the other day. If it can be certified (100%) I see a full restoration in it's future with a featured spot at one of Barrett Jackson's auctions one day. $200k would probably be the starting bid. Collectors love movie cars and this is as good as it gets for Mustangs.

Any car or bike that says 'Steve McQueen' in it's description is going to explode on the auction block.

Historically significant Mustang. Holy Grail comes to mind.
