He can keep it.  Besides, how many hub caps come with it

Has it ever been proven this is THE car?  Regardless I think that price is insane.  I wouldn't pay that for a car built by McQueen himself.

Movie car or not, I don't think its pop culture value is that high.

Last I heard there wasn't 100% proof it was the car. Just the evidence he gives and that one of the stunt drivers or something saying that they believe it's the same car.

I read through the links in the ad a couple of months ago, they make a decent argument that is the surviving car.  (Though, a few holes drilled from production photos of the camera car into a vanilla Charger would be a cool way to make a million bucks!)  Anyway, the links are an interesting read on Bullitt car related stuff.

That's pretty much the info I had as well.  There might be enough circumstantial evidence here but even if we give the owner the benefit of the doubt, what real world price are we talking here?  Let's suppose we can all afford it, what would you feel comfortable with paying for it?

I can't put a price on it myself as I don't have any special love for it, but I'm sure others would be all over it.

I didn't think about replicating it but it is a valid point.

I believe it's the real deal.
That being said, one million bucks? Hell Yeah!
What would the original screen used Kowalski Challenger be worth today?
Or how about the original DMCL Charger?
This is THEE charger that started it all, the most famous grand daddy Mopar of them all.

[67_Dodge_Charger]

I would go $32k for the Charger..

[Mike DC]

Quite probably legit . . . but not worth a million. 


I would investigate the owner if I was buying it.  He supposedly bought it first and then stumbled onto the possible history.  That would be much more believable from some people than others.  Who sold it to him?  Was he keenly interested in the car's original options & location at the time he was looking?

[moparstuart]

not enough documentation to prove its the real deal

This is a lot like the JFK ambulance from several years ago.   

I want to believe.   But no paperwork from anyone on the Charger is a big deal. 

[bill440rt]

IF it is the real deal, what would be a fair price then?? 

[tan top]

wondered how long it would take ,for that car  to be advertised  !    nothing was ever proven though , if i remember correctly ?

[Tilar]

The guy had that car at the nationals last year, and it only took about 45 seconds to get my fill of BS that the guy was trying to spread.

[projectanimal]

People pay far more for a small piece of art....
It may be a bitch to hang on the wall though!! 

Would be cool to know more facts, but the idea it's "the"car is cool!!

[gschmidt211]

The price:

they figure if they just keep hauling it around and telling everyone its the real deal , it will become the  real deal      

[Cooter]

If I was in the market for it (Which would be a cold day in hell for that price), I'd have to see proof that the movie studio's name was on the title.

We have this very same problem with the "Supposedly" remaining Movie Christines. Of the THREE, TWO are known as documented by Richard Kobrits.
There's one we have in the club hasn't been confirmed yet. One has. As mentioned, Too little documentation for such an asking price for me.

That is how these things work.

From my understanding WB never bought the cars themselves. It was the stunt driver Bill Hickman who bought them with WB funds. And WB doesn't have the records of the VINs used because those records are lost.

So there is no way to 100% prove it's the Bullitt Car.

 was RDR838 the original licence plate for one of the cars  ?  
also , supposedly the chargers were bought at Glendale Dodge , southern California ,  would  they not have  turn downs  insted of tips  , cause of the noise reduction package  , or was that only a 69 & later thing

Bought my original '68 in So.Cal. And it did not have the turned down tips.  They were the same as pictured.......

Neat car if it's real. It's got to be worth three times what the lame Mustang is worth?
