come on now 69 this has been posted 3x time now  :icon_smile_big:

though it is 68 I would understand those dont exist in your book or the 70  ;)

Hope he gets it, since mine is a Hemi, I can then ask 2 million, since it was the car McQueen and Bisset had sex in the back.  I have the condom to prove it, for an additional million.  :yesnod:
too many to list!

Ghoste

At least you can actually prove yours is what you say it is, that's gotta be worth an extra million right there.

 "It is a matching number, Hemi 4-speed, 440,...."

Im not an expert but do "hemi 4-speed" and 440 go together? O.o

I think they wanna say that it comes with a 18 spline input shaft gearbox..... however that probably does'nt sound expensive enough. Everybody knows when you say Hemi and vintage in the same scentence the price goes up significntaly.....

I think Asking 1 million and having to settle with hubcaps is really pushing it ::)

I've been told once that when you ordered a 440 (R/T) with manual trans it also received the 18 spline trans (and a Dana 60 rear) so the 18 spline tranmission was not exclusively for the 426 engine

IM LEARNING! :yesnod:

Since your screen name is kinda Chebby, It's like a M20 Muncie, VS the M21-22 "Rock crusher" Muncie..Didn;t mean it was any stronger, just sounded like there are rocks being crushed inside when driving in 1st,2nd,3rd....Same with "Hemi" 4-speed, when there was a "Badasswedge" 4-speed as well.

My 68 came this way and original triple black and stripe delete

My '69 GL came LS6-L88-"Rock Crusher" A833- 4-speed, with the VERY rare 440 Hemi, and Dana 9 1/4 option. With cruise control of course.
There was this cast into the side of the block so I know it's the badass version too. "High Perf."...

My 440 Hemi came through with the "Oval Port" heads that were aluminum and "pop up" pistons. Came from the factory with the VERY rare twin 750 Holley's on factory Tunnel ram. Yep, ordered it that way. I know the dude that bought it brand new. Ain;t got but 400K miles on it.

Without full documentation, PROOF that Steve McQueen farted in the seat, concieved his kid in the back seat (With pics and video/Audio), The actual camera that was mounted in the back with McQueen's sigfnature and photo of him signing it, It's a fake IMO.

and even with all that proof, there will still be doubters

1.  Find old production photos of a Charger.
2.  drill holes in Charger, set outside to rust.
3.  Take pics
4.  Restore Charger
5.  $1 million profit!


I believe this car probably really was used on Bullitt.  But all that is offered is circumstantial proof.

There is definitely a good chance that this is THE car.  However, he needs actual proof to claim it as such and even IF he can do so, where the heck does he get the idea that it would be worth anything close to that price?

Wonder Who the guy was years ago I think it was here that claimed to have this car. Wondered if it was real then disappeared.

Never even heard of this car until it was offered for $1 Mil. Looks like someone woulda been trying to sell it in "As found"/ "Movie Condition" before it was Fully restored like any other restored 440 Charger. i have no doubt thta dude believes he has the car and it's real, but proving it is another story.

I'm guessing that by offering it at 1 million, it would bring some attention even if it is negative it's still attention.
And by bringing attention to it, brings interest. I wouldn't doubt if it silently slips off the radar because some rich guy overseas makes an offer and it gets sold (not for 1 million but a substantial amount)

That's a good point, didn't look at it that way.

I care less about the price than the fact that all of the hype is helping to legitimize the car without the need to provide real evidence.

But if the price wouldn't be so nuts we wouldn't need it.  I don't think evidence exists anyway so it's a moot point.  All the seller can do is sell it as a probable Bullitt car and put a normal price on it.  The new owner will then have paid a real world value for that car and not pay for a claim that cannot be proven.

What would a normal price for this thing be anyway?

Well, a numbers matching 440 with a 4 speed and restored to "mint" must be in the 30-35k range.
Adding for the "chance" that it's the real Bullitt car, I'd say around 45-55k.
If it was proven without a doubt, I'd say it's worth a million.

I agree on 2 counts but I can't say any movie car would be worth that or even close to it.

The Goldfinger DB5 went for 4.6 million, the Ford GT40 used as a camera car for the McQueen Lemans movie sold for over 10 million, the Porsche 911 that McQueen used in Lemans sold for over a million.  Thats considerably more than non-movie ones.  I don't know if they're worth it but its 3 movie cars off the top of my head that sold for over a million dollars.

True and so did the batmobile but those prices are plain absurd.  I also think that a James Bond car would fetch a ton more than a Charger that was in a McQueen movie, and not his best either.

Oh well, I don't really care if the car is real or not or what the owner gets for it but I think it's safe to say he may be disappointed.
