A Cobra coupe that sold for 7.25 is the most that I know of for a 60s era car. A Duesenberg sold for 20M last year at Gooding. As cool as this car is, there is no way it does that.

The highest amount paid for a Post WWII American car at auction is the first AC Cobra which brought $13.75 million (includes fees)

1935 Duesenberg SSJ once owned by Hollywood legend Gary Cooper brought the highest amount paid for any American car at auction last year: $22 million

I remember reading somewhere that Cooper and John Carradine used to race their doosies along Mulholland in the forties.. It breaks the bank IMO. Built by Max Balchowsky,driven by McQueen and Bill Hickman at Cotati raceway, probably the most cloned pony car out there. There is no other star/car combo that gets close, excluding H.B. Halicki and Eleanor naturally.

here is a list of the top ten for 2018

the Bullitt Mustang will probably need $5M plus to make the top ten for 2019

Will be a test of the McQueen-factor if to top the 250 Goat #, but who's the next McQueen?

"LeMans"-starring 917 values higher than an actual LeMans-winning 917 ...?

I was watching a Los Angeles-filmed movie from '69 called 'The Model Shop' this weekend. Great, great scenes of late '60s L.A. Anyways in one scene my eyes bugged out at this - I know Max Balchowsky who built the Bullitt Mustang had a shop in L.A. "Bullitt" was shot in San Francisco in April '68. The model shop was shot in L.A. in June '68. Maybe McQueen was taking one last spin after filming? Or Balchowsky brought it back to his shop and was tooling around? I dunno... long shot, probably out-to-lunch, lots of Highland Green '68s with aftermarket wheels in LA circa June '68 I am sure, but something sure does look familiar about the stance of this 'Stang. Hi-def versions of this screen grab are not available but the license plate is dark with yellow letters for sure. Got an actual grab from Bullitt here too...

I love this geeky car movie stuff!
So, did the Bullitt car have it's backup lights removed or were they blacked out?
The 'stang in your move has them.
