By the way, those criticizing the owner for not taking care of it or restoring the car, you don't restore an ARTIFACT. This is NOT a collector car, it is a film and historical artifact. You don't restore historical artifacts or antiques, you preserve them as much as you can in their original state. (Side Note: recall Antiques Road Show where those furniture guys say 'This chest of drawers was worth $1 million, but you refinished it, now it is worth $10,000'); i.e., you don't resole George Washington's boots.
Anyway, this is from that linked page, where an expert first saw the Bullitt Mustang to validate it was the car:
"They needed a third party to validate that the car was, in fact, real. They called Kevin Marti, who signed a nondisclosure agreement and flew to Atlanta on his own nickel.
Marti is . . . the guy you call with your VIN to find out your Ford’s original equipment. Along the way, he’s also become an expert at recognizing fake VIN tags.
“I walked in to see the car,” he said, “and thought, ‘Here’s another car that looks like the Bullitt.’ I went over, looked at the VIN on the tag and immediately my emotions flipped from skepticism to ‘Oh, my god, it’s real.’ ”
Marti marveled at the modifications made for the movie. Underneath the rockers, three metal tubes were clumsily welded perpendicular to the car’s center line for camera mounts. There were holes cut in the trunk for the cords that ran from a generator to power the cameras and lights. Even tape residue remained-on the tachometer to mark the redline, and on the floor, presumably to secure the seatbelts and wires. “Ninety-eight percent of the original car is there,” he said. “It’s an incredible artifact.”

They are only original ONCE
Indeed, its got the scars and scrapes that happened on film in the movie, you don't cover that up with bondo and a over restored paint job. The camera mounts are still welded underneath the rocker panels and mounts for Steve's close ups are still in the passenger floor pan. Why anyone would want to restore it is insane, then it'd look like any other tribute car
@@maxwelljrdn u right artifacts leave as they where
Why did Steve not buy it back in 1977
Not arguing to restore it......arguing that it should have been preserved better.
i find it amazing that leno can drive with his eyes closed
lol I have always too.
LMFAOOOO🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Legend
Back in the early 70's, I worked on and test drove the actual original Bullitt Mustang owned by Sean's parents. I still have the repair documents copies from that day and the two damaged parts. Clutch rod and it's retaining spring.
Thank you Bob Keirnan. Jay really said it well when he said that car is special for car guys.
Bob Kiernan grew up on my street. His dad was a close friend of my dad.
Joe Sandello Big deal
@@joesandello8157 I have a question. How long did he have Parkinson’s for? My father recently passed from MSA (multiple system atrophy) which took his life less than 5 years. Some mistake MSA with Parkinson’s. MSA is very ugly and deadly and can create a hell like experience for people and the public need to know so there can be researched .
Best car chase ever. Thanks Bob for keeping this Iconic car around for us enthusiasts to see.
The new Bullitt, is great, but the original is fantastic,...thanks for showing us this.
Always a class act Jay. You keep us auto enthusiast going. Thank you, well done giving that gentleman’s son and his memory the respect you did.
That's what makes the heart race. The original Bullitt Mustang. I am proud to own a 2008 Bullitt and love the road feel and sound of it. Thanks Jay and to the man & son that saved the only Bullitt that still runs.
Perfect amount of chrome to counter the dark rims and paint. I'm in love. Best color ever
I heard a while back that this mustang have been found, and saw the earlier announcement and drive. It warms my heart to see this car out and running even at low speed. Bullet was one of the McQueen’s best movies ever, and I still think it’s the best chase scene ever filmed. Since I’ll never get a shot at driving the original, I’ll be delighted to drive one of the new ones! I think this new Mustang is the best looking one ever built.
As a Mustang owner (2018 GT) I super enjoyed the video. I was in my twenties when the movie came out...and now when I hear the growl of my Mustang, I'm in my twenties again. Thanks Jay.
Beautiful piece Jay. Love it. Thank you so much. I think this is what makes some cars so special. My dad would have loved this too!
I shed a tear with this episode. Seeing that one normal average man had a gem of a car stashed away. Great story.
Who's watching this after it was sold for $3.4 million at Mecum today?
I am, and I hope Leno was the purchaser of the original.
I am and it's not worth that even with it's fame
Insane
Fascinating story!!! You know you have something something very special when Jay Leno gets to drive it and gets emotional. Love that it actually has a decent amount of wear.
Wow! What a story. Thank to Jay Leno, Bob and Sean truly a iconic car!!
Thank you Mr. Kiernan for saving such a great car.
I gotta say, that made me tear up. I miss my dad everyday. I'm getting a Mustang damn it!
I will be buying a 2019 Bullitt Mustang for myself. One of the significant items on my bucket list in life. RIP Mr Bob Tiernan.
I got see the 2019 Buliett Mustang in person and I love the story on the original Buliett Mustang is amazing how well it was keep under wraps for so long and I have Sean and his Dad and family keeping the legend alive!
RIP for the Dad & thank you for saving such a great car! :)
RIP bob
Thank you for saving this piece of automotive history
Never thought I'd get emotional watching a Jay Leno's Garage vid... thanks; R.I.P Bob!
That car, that guy with that story . . . are just a few of reasons cars are such a BIG part of life for some of us, the lucky ones. I feel sorry for those that aren't one of us. Thank you Jay Leno for more great content, you're an amazing (car) guy.
"Racing is life... anything that happens before or after is just waiting."
It's almost like I saw this same footage 3 months ago here...o wait I did
FAST Food Pit Stops i was thinking the same thing 🤔
Ikr reupload...
Yep
I remember the audio being really messed up on the original upload, but maybe I'm wrong.
FAST Food Pit Stops the audio was messed up
It’s a little late but atleast they corrected it lol
What an awesome video Jay love it so much and like you I grew up a car guy so thank you sire for saving and sharing all those wonderful cars.
1:38 Oh the sound of that Bullitt Mustang takes me right back to the movie. thanks Jay, Sean and Bob for more great memories.
I was actually at the auction. Just amazing. The car oozes mojo.
I would like listen to some soul music
So who bought it?
Jay, you realized the dream of millions of guys out there, me included.
Bullitt Whoa. Brings back memories. Thank you Jay. That must of been something special for you. Sitting on Steve’s chair and driving his car from the movie. 🙏✌️🙏👍❤️😎
WOW! What an amazing segment! Thank you so much for sharing!
the car still looks amazing.. tis a dream car... even to buy a 1968 mustang
Thanks Jay for showing this clip again! For us 'old farts' and Mustang fans, it always feels good to see it one more time'from back in the day'😎❤
The good old days
It's things like this and people like Jay and Sean that make the world a better place.....👍👍👍👍
Great show, woke up and this is the first thing i watched before going to work. Always looking forward to seeing your next episode. Thanks Jay.
I like the original 68’ a hundred times more than new one
Sure, but have you driven a '19 5.0? Pretty freaking nice car.
I just purchased the 2019 Bullitt a month ago, traded my 6spd '18 Accord for it. Although I totally respect your opinion, the new Bullitt is freaking sweet, it's worth the $45k+ for just the exhaust alone. :)
brian salmon actually a 30999999999999999 times worse breakdown in the middle of the road call your mom snd she will send u a pic of this comment interior of the car looks like 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 u will thow up get no food and slowly faint and die anyone who sais someone would save him he will breakdown in the middle of nowhere
The original also recently sold for 100 times more than this one. I'd take the 19, thanks. In fact, i actually bought one.
@watergod 83 Character
WOW! Awesome story, sorry for his dad and it’s really nice his son is sharing the car and there story with everyone. So is the car worth more now that Jay Leno got to drive it?
elmerhdga that “beat up boat anchor” is worth 4 million dollars!!!!
elmerhdga well you are probably not into cars and that’s understandable but for someone who appreciates cars and their history I found this car to be a beauty!
JD JoyrideTV No, but it’s already likely the most valuable Mustang ever privately own. That said, DO NOT EVER SELL IT!
Armando Elias
That’s right! Sean Kiernan and his dad made a wise decision to retain that “old beat up boat anchor” look to make it look like (as much as possible) when Steve McQueen last drove it. That’s what makes it worth over $3 million. If they had restored it to like new condition, then people would not recognize it from the movie.
There is another RUclips video of the 2019 Mustang Bullitt premier with Steve McQueen’s granddaughter Molly, which also shows Sean Kiernan, and the same 1968 Bullitt Mustang (alongside a 2019 Bullitt Mustang). In it, Sean explains his rationale for restoring it to that “old beat up boat anchor” look. Sometimes, restoring them like new is not what necessarily makes them the most valuable.
Very cool story. I remember one of the two cars in the movie that they used in the chase had a little dent in the top of the chrome strip around the grill....no dent on this one. It must have been on the car they destroyed since the present owners said that they left this one as-is.
Never thought I’d cry watching Jay Leno’s garage
Both delighted and touched to see this. Great story for a legend of a car.
Both film and car will forever remain with me.
I had a 68 Mustang 390 Fast Back,,, Great car miss it
Back in the 1970's a girl at work had a 68 GT 390 FB. She had to keep adding oil to it so she decided to sell it. She asked her boyfriend how much she should sell it for. Since the guy was a Chevy guy - he said it was a piece of crap and was worth only $200 (the body was clean and straight). I cleaned up the car for her and told her to advertise it for $700. She had a ton of calls.
Current value......: Priceless!
Just bought the 2019 version 2 days ago and I really love it! Best car I’ve ever bought!
I love the fact the original is still original. Love the rough around the edges look to it
0:56 1:19 Jay Leno's the only one dude that I know that can drive a car with eyes closed. :)
Jonny1one The Stig has nothing on Leno
Jay needs to do a more in-depth Jay Leno's Garage show on the car and the history with more info and story from Mr. Kiernan's son and family. Plus the folks from the movie crew. The car and the guy that own's it deserves at least that much. So what do ya say Jay.....
It was pretty clear to me that after the guy's dad bought the car he didn't do anything with it except refuse to sell it to Steve McQueen and let it deteriorate. On the one hand it's a shame it wasn't looked after properly, on the other hand at least it was never changed. The reason it's now worth about 4 million dollars is because it's all-original despite it's condition. Some people would say what they did was smart, others would call it dumb luck.
Nice production jay love that ur never biased
Love. What a great story and episode. Thank you, Jay.
What a nice inheritance!!!!
In the fall of 67 I was driving a 59 Impala ragtop with a 425 hp 327 and a guy I worked with bought a brand new Mustang just like the one in this video. He used to pull up behind someone at a stop light just two feet behind them and light the tires so they'd think he was going to rear end them.
Funny guy, nice car.
425 hp 327 ci ... could you sepc out the build to get those numbers in '67. just curious sounds like BS but it could be possible.
I knew at least 4 Chevys with the same engine all built by the head mechanic at a Chevy dealer. You can believe it or not, I could not care less.
Ok thanks for the info I thought you built it. Do you remember the octane fuel you ran in it.
Doug Fever friend in highschool had a 70 road runner 440 6 pack 456 gears, do the same thing 😂
Oh, man! this hit home. My dad and I have always been car crazy. Sadly, he too passed away from Parkinson's in 2014. Thank you for the video and I am sorry your Dad passed away as well from such a horrific disease, if you ever see this.
Great car,film,actor, Legendary !! Keep on going Sean for you and your family .Respect.!
Ford, "Hey, Mr. Leno, would you like to drive the new Bullitt Mustang?" Jay Leno, "You bet!" Ford, "OK, but you can't go over 17 MPH on our closed course." :(
Ford let him go as fast as he wanted. Jay can't drive.
It's a pre-production car. Probably the only one now. You would do crazy stuff with it ? Not me ! Besides, what a better place and guy to create all the buzz around their car than Leno ?? Guaranteed media impact.
Marc René Yvon, it’s not a special one off car, it’s a regular mustang with bolt on’s and badges.
what a lucky guy, buys car for 6K appreciates to 4 million.. il be a dog gone
Sold!
6 grand back then was a lot of money, especially for a used and damaged car. My parents bought a big house in the country with 2 acres of land for 17 grand in 1971
Lucky??? He's dead...
Alex Endr 6,000 back then would be 31k now. Still an impressive profit.
Wow... I am enthralled with that Car as well!
Priceless. Thanks guys!
I guess the windshield had to be replaced to get it registered. Anyway, what a memorable and iconic relic from a great film. I wonder if any of the Dodge Chargers used in that movie survived?. The first gen of muscle cars will be in our memories forever because they all looked different and had so many options to choose. Look around you in traffic tomorrow. Everything you see is virtually identical except for the logo.
Fred Fyre You got it!
For a car guy those were the days.I can understand the meh look of the new cars and their boring similarity for fuel efficiencies sake. But the Mustangs, Camaros, Chargers, Chevelle SS, Thunderbolts, Road Runners, while having some goofy stripes (which I loved) had individual personality. That's sorely lacking in today's cars. Plus a young guy could actually afford to BUY some of that hot iron. Not so today. Not the really hot stuff.
re-upload?
Brilliant fantastic it has been preserved. Thanks for sharing.
I just like the both cars...thanks for bringing the old back to the light.
did you show this one already? since you're posting on 4/20 I think someone is high over there
Chaplin Gean funny lol
Chaplin Gean Special Day!
Glad it hasn't been taken to pieces and restored - steve Mcqueens bum sat on that seat .
That original Bullitt car is just cool! Not to mention the 2019 version! What a thrill to be able to drive both!! 👍
Pheeew..got goosebumps watching the original highland green 68 mustang GT 390 hatchback appear on jay's rearview mirror "LIKE THAT", again!!! ...just priceless 💥
Nice, what an amazing story. McQueen was the real deal.
you're trading a 2016 mustang for a 2019 mustang? how long before you file for bankruptcy?
I’ve met with Sean last year and he did showed us the car and told us the story of his dad in little bit more details , it was very touching.. Didn’t let us take pictures of the car.. I really can’t tell much more ( Confidential).. But all i can say is there might be a big surprise coming up pretty soon about this car.. I actually sat behind the wheel of real Bulitt .. Thank you Sean!!
omg thank you Jay. this was more than awesome.
When Jay say "Thanks My Friend that mean ...How Much you need for the car.
Can you imagine how flawless it would look after Jay Leno owned it for a few months? He's got some talented restoration guys working for him. That thing would look like Steve just hopped out of it.
@@fenderstratguy As the value would hop out of it too. Its only ORGINAL once...
Jason Buis Only if you assume Jay doesn’t know how to restore cars.
Hey whatever happened to Jim Morrison's Mustang?
writerconsidered it's in a junkyard in Paris
Great story sorry to hear about his dad but good to hear he's kept the car, must be 1 of the most valuable cars in the world but its probably priceless to him
The best episode of JLG EVERRRRR!!!!
I prefer the older one.
is the Keanu Reeves remake still happening ?
Ichiban Moto hope not
Ichiban Moto John Wick drives the wrong Mustang...
too bad Paul Walker isn't around or he'll be perfect....
dear god please, no.
Ichiban Moto! I love you videos man. Hilarious
I’m so happy to see the 68 Bullitt mustang and greatful to the Kiernan family for keeping it alive. I’m cueing up the movie chase seen now!
Great tribute all the way around. Class will always live on.
If you're at Ford I'll take a wild guess and say you're in Michigan come to Lansing and I'll give you a ride in my 65 convertible! My friend is getting married this afternoon! Let's party my name is also Jay! And we all like cars! wow look at all these things we have in common!
JLan0904 This was probably filmed a few months ago. Would have been cool for you if he did show up though.
This was filmed months ago. Notice how it’s sunny out there and they have the windows down... you know how cold it is in Michigan right now...
This was recorded last summer at the Dearborn test track. It's right next to Greenfield Village. About 3 miles from my high school.
JLan0904
Aaaah, you wear jeans shirts ? No? Ferget it !
That exhaust on the '19 sounds like a loose fan when you turn it on... drive around thinking where's the damn screwdriver???...
sounds like a Bullitt thing
Your Dad was wise beyond his years sir! Best wishes to you and your piece of history!
Wow, that is unbelievable...that original car is literally a piece of American movie history, imo a national treasure...this car paved the way for all movie car chase scenes forever, fantastic!!!!
Ford why did u change the headlights of the mustang the old one liooks sexy
Deja Vu
Stryker Man I'VE BEEN IN THIS PLACE BEFORE
Awesome story. Very touching. Made me think of my dad.
Of all your videos Jay this is the COOLEST! My hat off to you, and the Kiernan family! ...kinda envious
I hope Ford starts making all Special editions models only stick/manual, and never try making auto ones.
...and then Ford will be on the path to bankruptcy. Most people are too lazy or never learned to drive stick shifts, but they often want a special edition vehicle.
Mike Vale to be fair Ford’s special/limited edition cars aren’t produced in meaningful numbers anyway so it’s not like they’re a major part of the sales. I think they’re mostly there to drum up excitement among the fan base and further the company’s image as a performance brand.
Yep...that's fair enough...thanks for your opinion. :-)
Great review. .."Yeshua / Jesus is the way "
Shouldn't you holding a sign on a street corner?
Yowzoe lol naw I rather ride my superbikes and drive in my sports car. I am a porsche guy so no corners for me unless I am hitting the apexes, God bless you though
The best car sound I have ever heard.
What a story for this piece of automotive and film history.
The 68' looks a lot better than the 19'. The 19' body panels are just too slab and homogenized.
Yes. They need to raise that hood back up because it looks like a goddamn BMW now!
@@cemsengul16 dude the only modern mustangs that looked good was the 2005 up to 2009. I hated the redesigns after
@@Mr.Grimm99 I am glad that I am not the only one who thinks the same. 2005-2009 Ford actually sold a Mustang. I don't know what the hell they are selling now?
Now that you mentioned it the new ones do look like BMWs
@@Mr.Grimm99 Right? From a distance I really see a German coupe. Only when I see the running horse emblem I remember its a Mustang.
This reminds me of John Wick
C.L.A.S.S. Thanks Jay for remembering an important milestone in many American's lives!
Thank Y'all for sharing the Original! Peace fro B.C., Canada
I prefer the original one. This 2019 one has no soul, it's just a technical powerful thing, just a car. The old ones are more fun.
alex ossel yeah
You've lost your marbles.
The original would probably out run it too. It’s not limited to 163 mph
akc7100 can it even do 163?
no cars have souls dude. they are all machines that either work better or worse. it just happens that one of these has a history and the other doesnt. im sure if i offered you a rusted out 60s stang with no significant history or a brand new one to run every day, your choice wouldnt be that easy.
That exhaust sounds terrible. Just use the GT350 exhaust, that’s a sexy sound.
it won't sound like a gt350,totally different engines ya schmuck
TheFuzzyCat I agree sounds really bad maybe it's better in person
Exhaust is pretty. Bad on this one
I hear them in person everyday and they don’t sound like that! It’s the the used a sound over from a 1993 crown vic with 350k on it
5.0 DOHC v8 with Chambered exhaust like in the original , however chambered exhaust sounds best on SOHC v8, doesn't work on a DOHC different tone.
I now own a Black 2008 Mustang and it is my Pride and Joy.
Brother that puts tears to my eyes
Jay should of fixed the car for him
Not much of a car guy are you?
Fix a 4 million original bullitt mustang , are you crazy? Lol
Almost $50,000 for a mustang?!? You must be joking!!
Jay you're a true gentleman and all around great guy.
Not much of a Ford guy. But certain models are on my Ford list and a 390 powered pick up or two door is on the list. Lovely car and one great chunk of history.
Thanks for sharing her!
