Bullitt is a 1968 American thriller film directed by Peter Yates and produced by Philip D'Antoni. The picture stars Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn, and Jacqueline Bisset.[2] The screenplay by Alan R. Trustman and Harry Kleiner was based on the 1963 novel, Mute Witness,[3][4][5][6] by Robert L. Fish, writing under the pseudonym Robert L. Pike.[7][8] Lalo Schifrin wrote the original jazz-inspired score, arranged for brass and percussion. Robert Duvall has a small part as a cab driver who provides information to McQueen.

The film was made by McQueen's Solar Productions company, with his partner Robert E. Relyea as executive producer. Released by Warner Bros.-Seven Arts on October 17, 1968, the film was a critical and box-office smash, later winning the Academy Award for Best Film Editing (Frank P. Keller) and receiving a nomination for Best Sound. Writers Trustman and Kleiner won a 1969 Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for Best Motion Picture Screenplay. Bullitt is also notable for its car chase scene through the streets of San Francisco, which is regarded as one of the most influential in movie history.[9][10][11][12]

In 2007, Bullitt was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[13]

Yes. The Bullitt Mustang. It rolled off a California assembly line in January 1968 wearing a fresh coat of Highland green paint. Warner Bros. took delivery. It is the car Steve McQueen (and his stunt man) drove in one of the best chase scenes of all time.

Where the heck was it all this time, and who has it now?

That’s a rather short story. Warner Bros. had the car repaired after filming and sold it to an executive at the studio, who passed it to a detective on the east coast. The detective unloaded it, via Road & Track classifieds, onto Robert Kiernan, an insurance executive, who owned it to his death in 2014. His son, Sean Kiernan, reassembled the car and is now bringing it out of hiding.
