One of the two 1968 Mustang GT Fastbacks Steve McQueen drove in _Bullitt_ sold at [auction](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1kzTyqcN9U) in Florida.

The father of the current owner bought it decades ago for $3,400 and his mother drove it to work for years before it was laid up on jackstands in a shed. [Interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bhd4Ck9qJg).

A friend of mine who collects classic cars mentioned that to me. He was interested (in the “Wouldn’t it be neat to own that” sense), but I don’t think he made any serious attempts at bidding.

My friend said that he’s surprised it went for that low–he was expecting it to fetch at least 5 million.
