The Detectives Bullitt
I have owned this J-code, 4speed, Highland Green 1968 Fastback Deluxe for 30 years. Built at the San Jose plant on June 18, 1968, I purchased the car for $1,500 from the original owner in the Summer of 1977, the year I graduated high school. Back then, the car had 93,000+ miles on the odometer. It now has over 234,000 miles! More in the BULLITT replica section

Mike Farrell, a retired LAPD detective - is a close friend of Dave Kunz and they meet
each other on a regular base to exchange detailed information on the BULLITT
Mustang. |
We've followed Stephen Huthnance project for
several years and finally his effort was honoured with an entry at the
Festival de Cannes 2007.
"We edited it down to a 30min action short for the short film corner. The car chase is full on.
Thanks for your support over the years."
Stephen Huthnance
Update July 2007: Stephen reports of a big success in Cannes and he got in touch with a number of big names, that were very interested in his movie. So let's press thumbs for him. |
