<p>The definitive story. <br>
</p>
<p>People still argue about the movie; was it good, bad, boring, OK,
etc? I've had two Bullitt Mustangs and I still have to convince
people the movie had nothing to do with my choice of cars (well,
except for the color).</p>

<div class="ydp4a72ec4dyahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:verdana, helvetica,
sans-serif;font-size:16px;">I wrote story about this for one of
the Healey club magazines years ago. I owned that Healey for
years. I bought it from a gentleman in San Jose who had bought
it from the owner during the filming. He gave me the plates
with the car that can be seen in one of the shots when Steve
McQueen parks his Mustang in front of it. The story he (guy I
bought it from) told me was that the Healey owner lived in one
of the apartments, and while they moved other cars out for
shooting, they let him leave his Healey there for the filming
(pic attached). The car can also be seen in another shot in the
movie parked in the same place. I restored the car into a Works
Rally Tribute car (pic attached)... I didn't/don't think the
film clips added any real value to the car so I didn't worry
about it's 5 seconds of fame. As a WRT car it was on 3 magazine
covers. The car now lives in Australia. </div>
