Have you seen the 1968 movie called
Bullitt staring Steve McQueen and this Highland Green 1968 Mustang GT fastback? If you haven't, you better go out and get the movie and watch it. The movie has the best car chase scenes ever filmed. The scene featured this Mustang chasing two hit-men in a black 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Magnum. It was 9 minutes and 42 seconds long. Speeds exceeded 110 mph and Steve McQueen did most of the actual driving!

Two Highland Green 1968 Mustang GTs were built for the movie. One was destroyed during the movie. The other is rumored to still be around but stashed away from the public eye. They were originally modified for filming by Max Balchowski. They received GR70 tires mounted on 15x8 American Racing Torque Thrusts, heavy duty springs, Koni racing shocks, and added reinforcing braces for the inner fenders. Each car had 390ci 4V engines tweaked for higher performance.

In this shot Steve McQueen is trading paint with a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T in the movie's big chase scene! The chase ends soon after this shot with the Charger flying through a gas station and blows up. The Mustang is suppose to be a GT, but I don't see the exhaust cut-outs in the rear valance.

Here is why the Bullitt movie car was built with heavy duty shocks and springs.
