The famous Ford Mustang GT driven by Steve McQueen on the streets of San Francisco in the famous movie “Bullitt” was auctioned off for $ 3.7 million, auction house David Morton said.
The actor himself had driven this green car, which has remained famous in the American imagination in this 1968 film, notably during a breathtaking chase scene.
The car was owned by 38-year-old Sean Kiernan. Her father bought it for $ 3,500 in 1974 (the price it symbolically went on sale Friday) and the family drove it until 1980, when the clutch broke.
She stayed in the garage until Sean Kiernan repaired it and began to expose it after the death of her father in 2014.
This car and its model (the Ford Mustang GT) are so emblematic of United States than the manufacturer had presented in January 2018 a limited edition, called Mustang Bullitt.
