The movie, "Bullitt" starring Steve McQueen features one of the most iconic classic Mustangs ever, and possibly the most famous car chase scene. Supposedly, there were two Mustangs used in the movie. One "hidden away" by its owner, and the other was missing...until now.

These pictures are from the Fox News article where we first learned that the car found was determined to be the "real deal" by our friend, Kevin Marti. Kevin owns Marti Auto Works, and also owns the rights to Ford VIN information on 1967-up Ford vehicles. We handle many of the high quality products that his company produces.

Fox News reports that this 1968 Mustang Fastback was found in a Mexican junkyard. It will be brought to California and apparently be restored. I'm sure that we will be hearing much more about this Mustang in the future.

Mustangs on the TV and in the Movies

Before I start the subject in today's post, I just wanted to point out I noticed that the last post here on our Virginia Classic Mustang Blog was post #500!!  Wow!  500 posts...I didn't even realize there were so many!

Anyway, today I wanted to mention a pretty cool site that I found here a while back.  It is the Internet Movie Cars Database.  If you have a chance, check it out.  There is an extensive listing, with photos/stills, of different makes of cars that have appeared in movies or TV shows.  Since the Mustang is such a popular car, you will note that there are quite a few references and photos to Classic Mustangs.  Check it out when you have a chance.  Here are a few examples:

Here's a 65 Mustang Convertible from The Munsters TV show that ran from 1964-66.  Looks like it had a little accident!

I love this one!  It is a 66 GT350 Shelby Mustang.  You will note the red color, no LeMans stripes and Shelby Cragar wheels...cool car!!!!  Oh, it is from the TV show I Spy which ran from 1965-68.

How about this cool 68 Shelby Convertible.  This still shot is from the TV show, Get Smart.  This show ran from 1965-70.
