What will The Bullitt Mustang sell for?

[Chad]

I know it is not a Shelby but most certainly is one of the coolest Mustangs ever.  So the Bullitt "hero" fastback is going up for auction at Mecum in January.  What do you think it hammer for?

Surely at least 7 figures, might bring out some Hollywood buyers...

I am saying $8 million. Depending of course who are among the bidders.

[Side-Oilers]

It will go for "a lot", but the exact number could be about anything.

I'm wondering if the car is already suffering a bit from over-exposure.  The thrill may be diminished by all the public showings (that were designed to hype interest/price.)

I'm not tired of the car, but once you've seen and read about it a gazillion times in the past year, it's no longer anything that I rush to see coverage of.

Other thoughts?

It's a Holy Grail piece that someone out there has coveted for decades and now has the money to buy.

That is 250 GT SWB territory.

It might break 7 figures, but I doubt much more than that.

Maybe. It is so hard to know. Depends who is in the audience.

it will be someone's trophy and if they can shell out the big bucks, more power to them...enjoy

I will bite... 1.25 million at the hammer, plus fees.

Time will tell

Its very interesting, I think what may take a little wind out of the sail is that its not the only Bullitt  car.  The new owner is going to have one of two,..A little different that one of one, the only one. Still the most iconic Mustang in history in my opinion.  When the smoke clears I wouldn't be shocked if its around 2 mil.

[papa scoops]

the car is a complete pile of junk, but, it will still bring the big bucks. maybe a mil? phred

The Volo Auto Museum offered $1 million to find James Dean's wrecked 550 Porsche Spyder. Now that's junk.

[J_Speegle]

Don't believe IMHO you can compare the two cars. But all it takes is one potential owner for either of them to take price further than anyone would suspect or recommend
