If you want to keep a secret, chances are the Kiernan clan can keep it for you. In case you missed it, a 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt rolled out in time for the 50th anniversary of the 1968 classic Steve McQueen film.
McQueen’s granddaughter Molly introduced it at this year’s Detroit auto show, but the real star of the show was a 1968 Mustang in Highland Green that is one of two cars used in the movie. Sean Kiernan, of Nashville, Tennessee, is the lucky owner.
The car was used mainly as a daily driver for many years before it went into storage during the 1980s. It is estimated now to be worth $4-million dollars, but the Kiernans have no plans to sell it.
“It means way too much to me,” Sean Kiernan recently told the Detroit Free Press.
Even Steve McQueen tried to buy the car back in 1977 from the Kiernans and the family surprisingly said “no thanks” to his generous and substantial offer.
“For decades, our car has been the subject of numerous rumors, myths, and dead-end searches. These stories evolved and took on a life of their own and the car became something of a holy grail in the old car world—waiting to be rediscovered,” said Sean Kiernan in a statement.
“Today we revealed the car to the general public and it is pretty much the way my parents bought it back in 1974.”
Since it was used for filming, there was no soundproofing and the trunk had a huge cut out for a smoke machine. The badges were all removed and the paint was scoured to make it look dull for filming.
