lifejogger Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Just watched the movie Bullit with Steve McQueen. Can't believe it has been 51 years since that movie came out. I remember going to see it in 1968, great movie. I think the sales of Ford Mustangs increased after that movie came out. Anyone else remember it.

Gypsy Pilot Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Thanks, you just reminded me that I was in my 30's when it came out. It's still a great movie. Everyone forgets his first and one of his best works, the Blob. Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W2DR Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 There were seven Mustangs available for that movie. I had a chance to buy one of them in 1999 (McQueen never drove it). I'll always regret the decision not do it............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Sure do remember it, John. Loved the movie and loved my 1965 Mustang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingleaf Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Gosh do I ever remember that movie. 21 yrs. old and loved all Mustangs, however that one in particular. I drove a 66 Beetle and refrained from doing his stunt driving. RIP Steve I miss you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Do stop bragging! I had a second, or third, perhaps 4th or 5th hand 1939 Ford Prefect I bought for £100. I was robbed and I hated that car. Many's the time the damn thing tried to kill me. It had wipers that only worked properly if you pressed hard on the accelerator. And brakes that only worked when they were pumped on and off. Yeah, go figure! About two years later I had saved enough for the deposit and was earning just enough for a rent to buy new Morris Mini. We loved that car and having paid all the instalments kept it for about five years. Then we got our dream car, one of the first Ford Fiesta's. Brilliant car and we've been with Fords ever since, except of a short six months rusty disaster of a second hand ex reps' Vauxhall Victor. Later, for my Company car, I even chose the top of the range at the time the Ford instead of a Merc'. My boss had Merc's but I always found the seats too hard. I was doing a lot of mileage at the time so comfort was the premium concern. Sheila stayed with the fiesta's though until we retired. We now have a really nice Ford Escort that we've had for fifteen years and its still good! I'm 86 next week so I don't s'pose we'll change it now.

Bassman Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I always thought that it should have been called "Bullet" with an "e" FYI https://www.historicvehicle.org/national-historic-vehicle-register/vehicles/1968-ford-mustang-fastback-bullitt-559/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambar Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I just watched "Bullet" about a month ago on Comcast. Still a great movie. Another great movie I enjoyed on the same order was " Sharky's Machine'" with (Burt Reynolds). Released in 1981. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
