David Kunz
1968 BULLITT Replica
David Kunz
based in L.A/California
is a well-known
guru
of all BULLITT enthusiasts. His interest in the movie and the Mustang lead him
one day to start a project of a BULLITT Mustang replica. He found a rather
unmolested 68 GT 390 in
1992 and invested a lot of time and money to make it look like the real
thing.
While working on the project, he found out more and more about the facts and
fallacys of the movie.
Thanks to David and contacting him early enough I was allowed to publish his
investigations on my website. The following article (follow the link) has been
published in the November 97 issue of Mustang & Fords magazine as well.

The Editor of this
website incidentally bought his 68 Fastback almost at
the same time. Of course I knew the McQueen movie and was interested in
reading something about it online. Since only one route description was on
the web back then, I invited David to start up this website. I was just
there at the right time to make an early contact, when I read about Dave
in a mag in the mid 90ies. We've been in touch ever since, although
unfortunately we never met. Hopefully one day in the near future that is
going to change.
