New Owner of 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390 Hero Car From 'Bullitt' Movie Not Restoring It
The $3.4-million icon to remain as is.
Sean Kiernan, who sold the iconic Bullitt Mustang earlier this month for $3.4 million has confirmed that the car's new owner will not restore it.
The Highland Green Ford Mustang GT 390 is famously unrestored, bearing the scars from the filming of the legendary car chase in the 1968 film, plus over 40 years of day-to-day use.
Kiernan's parents purchased the car back in 1974 after spotting it for sale in an issue of Road & Track Magazine and went on to use it as their daily driver for several years. After the car garnered plenty of unwanted attention, it was hidden away until 2018.
Following the sale of the car at Mecum's sale in Kissimmee, Florida, last week, Kiernan took to social media to answer a few questions regarding the car and the events of last week, including whether or not the car would now be restored.
