We"ve covered the original, Steve McQueen-driven 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback from Bullitt a number of times since it reappeared from its 40-year slumber at the Detroit motor show in 2018. It is the iconic movie car for petrolheads after all. We even brought it along to Goodwood circuit to meet its modern-day remake. Now though, a piece of huge news surrounding the Highland Green legend has emerged out of the US of A it"s going up for auction. There"s no telling how much it"ll fetch, but our guess would certainly be six figures thanks to its incredible story. Having been hooned around the streets of San Francisco by McQueen and his stunt drivers for perhaps the greatest ever movie car chase, the car (one of two used during filming) was subsequently sold to Warner Bros employee Robert Ross.
