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.

Long thought gone, Ralph Garcia, Jr. and Hugo Sanchez (in 2016) happened across one of the two Highland Green 1968 Mustang GT 390 fastbacks used in the 1968 Movie called Bullitt. They were looking for fastbacks to turn into Eleanor replicas when then noticed some odd features of this wrecked fastback. It was verified as one of the two Bullitt Mustangs and the story was released to the public in March of 2017.

After this Mustang was used in the movie it was taken to Mexico as it was too wrecked to be repaired and put on the road in California. The Highland Green paint was covered with red then white paint. It stayed in Mexico for a while then moved to a backyard in Los Cabos where it was discovered.

2001 Bullitt Green Mustang GT Bullitt with a 270hp, 281 cubic inch, 4.6 liter, electronic fuel injected, single overhead cam, V8, special Bullitt engine. Ford had a Bullitt optioned 2001 Mustang which was based on the 1968 fastback driven by Steve McQueen in the detective movie Bullitt. Bullitt modifications included unique side scoops, 17-inch American Racing aluminum wheels, a lowered suspension, modified C-pillars, special quarter panel molding, rocker panel moldings, brushed aluminum fuel cap door, special Bullitt badging, polished-rolled tailpipe, and came in Dark Highland Green and True Blue and Black. The original 1968 Mustang fastback used in the movie was Dark Highland Green. The movie's director called for speeds of 75 to 80 mph, but the cars (including the ones containing the cameras) reached speeds of over 110 mph on surface streets. Filming of the chase scene took three weeks, resulting in 9 minutes and 42 seconds of film. During the chase scene, the Charger loses six hubcaps and has different ones missing at different times. The production company was denied permission to film on the Golden Gate Bridge.
