By: TheStreet | December 30, 2019

• The 1968 Ford Mustang GT that set the bar for cinematic car chases is on the block.

There are Fords, then there are Mustangs.

There are Mustangs, then there is Steve McQueen’s “Bullitt” Mustang, the 1968 fastback that the King of Cool drove as he flew over the tops of San Francisco’s steepest hills in one of the most famous car chases in film history.

The famous green Mustang driven by Steve McQueen in the 1968 Warner Bros. film “Bullitt” is headed to auction in January, in Kissimmee, Fla., and if Mecum Auctions gets what they are expecting, the car could sell for more than $3.5 million— that’s the record price for an American muscle car. According to Hagerty, an insurer and valuator of classic vehicles, the “Bullitt” Mustang could end up the most expensive Mustang ever sold at auction, surpassing a 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake that Mecum sold for $2.2 million at the 2019 Kissimmee auction.

Could it be yours? Well, you can dream. Here’s a look at Steve McQueen’s “Bullitt” Mustang.
