Although it is seldom planned, some classics become motion picture stars. Such is the case with the movie “Bullitt,” and the 1968 Mustang 2+2 GT driven by the late Steve McQueen. This 1967 Mustang 2+2 has been transformed into a tribute to the original car, featuring the correct paint shade and wheels. It has a few minor cosmetic needs, but its rebuilt engine and lack of rust make it a turnkey proposition for its new owner. Listed here on eBay, the Mustang is located in Dallas, Texas, where the bidding sits below the reserve at $30,100.

The 1967 model year brought the first major change to Ford’s First Generation Mustang. The company increased most of the car’s physical dimensions, allowing it to squeeze larger and more potent engines under the hood. This 1967 Mustang 2+2 is a stunning car, and with the restoration focused on creating a “Bullitt” tribute, its laser-straight panels have been coated in the correct shade of Highland Green. The excellent selection of close-up shots in the seller’s listing seems to reveal a few very minor paint imperfections, but if considered a high-end driver, the overall presentation is comfortably acceptable. There is no evidence or mention of rust, which would be unsurprising if this classic has spent its life in its current location. The trim and glass are spotless, while the Mustang rolls on a shiny new set of American Racing wheels.

Lifting the hood reveals an area of confusion with this Mustang. The VIN decodes to confirm that this classic left the line powered by the C-Code version of the 289ci V8, delivering 200hp and 282 ft/lbs of torque. However, the listing suggests that the engine has been rebuilt with 302 cylinder heads, and also states that the car is powered by a 302. What is visible is the fact that, regardless of its capacity, this V8 appears to wear Edelbrock aluminum heads. Shifting duties fall to a three-speed automatic transmission, with the brakes upgraded to power-assisted four-wheel discs. This drivetrain combination won’t be as potent as found in the movie Mustang GT, but it should still offer respectable performance. The seller confirms that the V8 is freshly rebuilt, exhaling through a new exhaust. They state that the car runs and drives well, and can be considered a turnkey proposition.

Opening the Mustang’s doors reveals an interior trimmed in Black, featuring a Sport Deck rear seat and a console. The console is missing a couple of trim pieces, and there is a gaping hole where the radio should be, but the rest of the interior is in respectable condition. The vinyl is free from significant wear, the dash and pad are in good order, and the same is true of the carpet. With the minor identified flaws addressed, this Mustang’s interior will cause no shame if the new owner rocks up to a Cars & Coffee behind the wheel of this classic.

The First Generation Mustang remains one of the cornerstones of the classic market, with history suggesting that the situation is unlikely to change. This 1967 example is a stunning driver-quality vehicle needing only a few minor interior tweaks to present at its best. The seller’s listing has generated plenty of interest, although this has only translated into seven bids at the time of writing. The situation will almost certainly change, but what would you consider to be a fair price for this classic?
