1968 Bullitt Mustang

Thanks for posting I enjoyed the article and pictures. It was particularly interesting because as it turns out this car is nearly identical to mine and came off the same assembly line 9 days later. Here's a couple pictures of my 68 it's a 390gt 4spd with deluxe interior like bullet only its blue. I found it in Atwater Ca in 1988.

Nice!

$3,400,000
Plus commission, taxes, whatever...

10 percent buyers premium on top of that. $3,740,000

And 10 percent sellers premium off the top of that. $3,060,000

Mecum made a cool $680,000 on this sale alone.

And sadly it wont bring anywhere near that again. The bloom is off that rose. All the Chrysler Hemi cars are a perfect example. They were 7 figure cars but they are low 6 figure cars now. The first 23 window VW Samba Bus that ever appeared at Barret Jackson brought $1,000,000 but the same buses have not come close since.

Best part of that scene (IMHO) when the Charger took off from the light,that 440 exhaust sounded so bad ass! I had the pleasure of riding around in a neighbors '69 Charger R/T back in the day. Most 396 - 427 Chevys were no match and none of the Fords were even close against it on Gratiot Ave.
