Looks like a great job for an award winning author  ;)

we have an ample supply of novelists here on the saac website, think the end story will go down as one of the greatest epic scenes on film rivaling the ten commandments,  gone with the wind...

On with the 559 coverage ....sold, sold, sold...

Didn't McQueen kick a dent in it himself before filming?

It was reported he felt the Mustang looked too new and shiny for something that "Frank Bullitt" would be driving.

But that looks a piece of HVAC sheet metal was riveted on to close a hole.

Maybe it's just an illusion.

One interesting tid-bit.  If you watch the chase scene closely, the car McQueen is driving on the streets chasing the Charger has the radio antennae on the left rear where the car being sold has it on the right front.  IMHO, more or less seals it that this car was not the "Jumping" car.
