<p>Also, if they tried to film 'Bullitt' in SF now, the
homeowners/renters would tell the director to take a hike if he
asked them to move their cars (parking in The City is a royal
bitch these days).</p>

<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>
