Hemmings Daily: 'Bullitt' Mustang auction-bound next January at Kissimmee sale

The Highland Green 1968 Mustang fastback that starred alongside Steve McQueen in Bullitt is, quite possibly, the most-recognized Ford Mustang on the planet, despite spending decades in the shadows. After returning to the spotlight in 2018, the car has made appearances at auto shows, museums, concours d'elegance events, and even on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The Bullitt Mustang has been in the Kiernan family since 1974, but next January may well become the most expensive Mustang ever sold at auction when [View in Browser | Subscribe]( [Hemmings Daily] Friday, August 16, 2019 ['Bullitt' Mustang auction-bound next January at Kissimmee sale]( ['Bullitt' Mustang auction-bound next January at Kissimmee sale]( Posted by Kurt Ernst - The Highland Green 1968 Mustang fastback that starred alongside Steve McQueen in Bullitt is, quite possibly, the most-recognized Ford Mustang on the planet, despite spending decades in the shadows.
