kleine Anzeige in der "Road & Track" Oktober 1974. Für 6000$ ging er da weg.
The Kiernans chose to leave the Mustang in the same condition that McQueen had driven it: no headliner or sound-proofing installation (both were removed for the movie), a straight pipe exhaust (to improve performance) and gaffer tape on the rear seat belts. Even the car’s paint is original.
“The car didn’t impress me much back then,” Kelly Cotton, Sean’s sister, told the Detroit Free Press this month. “You could hear the car before you saw it. And there were holes in the floorboard on the passenger side where the camera mount was used for the movie. I could watch down at the road as we drove along.”
Nachdem Steve McQueen das Jahre später herausgefunden hatte, rief er den Besitzer an und bat ihn, "Bullit" zu verkaufen. Der sagte Nein. Eine Woche später kam dann dieser Brief :
Sean Kiernan said his dad never budged and eventually McQueen stopped his pursuit of the car. The Kiernans ultimately moved to a horse farm in Kentucky, parking the Mustang in the garage. It had stopped running in 1980 and languished in that barn for decades, unbeknownst to the world.
“I didn’t understand the car, and what we had, until I was 25,” Sean Kiernan said.
40 jahre stand er in einer Scheune, nachdem 1980 die Kupplung kaputt ging

Ausgebaute Rückbank und die Gurte hätten sonst auf dem Blech herumgeklappert?
