Inside the Real 1968 Bullitt Mustang!

The 1968 Mustang GT from Bullitt isn't just a movie car, it's one of the most influential vehicles in automotive and film history.

In this Deep Dive, Petersen Automotive Museum Associate Curator Jonee Eissen sits down with owner and restorer Ralph Garcia to explore the incredible story behind the legendary stunt car driven by Steve McQueen. Long believed to be lost, this Mustang was rediscovered in Mexico, painstakingly restored, and authenticated as the very car that flew over the hills of San Francisco during one of cinema's greatest chase scenes.
Learn how the car survived decades of obscurity, the clues that proved its identity, the movie-specific modifications that remain today, and why Bullitt forever changed the way Hollywood filmed car chases.

If you love classic Mustangs, movie cars, or automotive history, this is a story you won't want to miss.
