Steve McQueen's son Chad said his father considered the 1968 Ford Mustang a character, not a prop, in the movie "Bullitt," and chose that car because it was one his character, police detective Frank Bullitt, could afford. Hidden away in a collector's garage for 38 years, this "holy grail" of automotive history was showcased in its unrestored condition at the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, and experts agreed it could fetch as much as $4,000,000 at auction. Now, The Hamilton Collection, in cooperation with GreenLight Collectibles, presents a diecast replica of this legendary car as it looks today - and when Steve McQueen made movie history in it. Introducing the 1:18-Scale Unrestored 1968 Ford Mustang Bullitt Diecast Car, featuring a look so realistic, you can almost imagine Steve McQueen speeding down the streets of San Francisco!This amazing 1:18-scale diecast car is precision-engineered with expert, rugged diecast metal tooling. It is fully loaded with an opening hood that reveals its powerful 390 V8 engine with real rubber brake and fuel lines, as well as an opening rear trunk for added authenticity. The doors open to showcase a detailed dash board, bucket seats and working steering wheel that turns the front tires. Plus, the treaded rubber tires really roll. Official logos with rear vanity license plate and the unrestored look of the Dark Highland Green paint scheme complete with "dents," "scratches" and even "rust stains" round out this must-have Bullitt collectible. Adding to its significance, the front license plate is a commemorative plate certifying that the 1968 Bullitt is listed on the National Historic Vehicle Register. Strong demand is expected; so step on it. Order now!
