Originally BULLITT was to have an all Ford car chase. WB had a promotion agreement with Ford who provided 2 Mustangs and 2 Galaxies. Unfortunately the Galaxies could not handle the rigors that Director Peter Yates and Actor Steve McQueen wanted. Both Galaxies were quickly damaged (due to the rigid body-on-frame construction) in testing. So instead two Charger R/Ts were purchased from a local Dodge dealership. The 1968 Charger like the 1968 Mustang had a unitized body and frame construction making the car more flexible when landing from the extreme jumps. |

From April 1968 through the 1970 model year, if you wanted the 428 CJ engine in your Mustang and you also wanted a 4 speed you could not order A/C. You had to order the auto to get A/C. But . . . at the end of the 1970 model run, 11 428 CJ 4 speed Mach 1s were built with A/C according to Ford Guru Kevin Marti. All 11 exist today. |
