Chili Ron Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Howdy, I started a detailed write up about this. ran out of time. Chad McQueen got the city of San Fran to allow a rerun and reshoot of Steve's Bullitt Mustang scene on the same streets. Chad got a custom car builder to build a 68 mustang. You might look on utube or on the tv car channels for the whole show. I stumbled on it by accident. There were a lot more problems than one would think. See, Chad didn't have any 68 mustang to start with. Best CR if someone has a link to this, please feel free to add it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Say, that wasn't @Pat Riot, SASS #13748 again at the :34 sec mark of the second (original) video, or was it his stunt double? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 The whole build and actual re-creating run is on Discovery/Fast and Loud. Not quite a "true" reproduction. They made some handling and engine improvements. As they said we don't have a second car to fix and continuing filming. Great movie. Local theater showed it on the big screen a few months back. The car chase is the best. THe ancient to us technology was fun to laugh at. Ike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

largo casey #19191 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I couldn't believe what they paid for a shell of a car. Largo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. I wear a helmet and armored leather. And there was no idiot that got in the way....No, I believe that man was my stunt double Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 That was definitely one of the coolest movie scenes ever. Any reproduction is a mere copy of greatness. The McQueens need to untie the apron strings and find their own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I loved the fact they had a beetle in the scene multiple times, just like the original! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Howdy, I would have called on some Mustang clubs. Hard telling what real help some members might have been. Is there a Mustang replica registry?? I am pretty sure the real car is off limits. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Two of them resurfaced within the last couple years. One in Mexico and the other in ,I believe, Tenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 Howdy, The real one showed up for the intro of the Bulliet edition in Detroit. The owner is real protective and hides the car and himself. Looks like he took the dent out of the nose. I never would have. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
