The Bullitt Mustang

This is THE Bullitt Mustang Driven by Steve McQueen in the Movie!

These pix are of the Highland Green 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback from the 1968 film “Bullitt”. It may be the most well-known movie car of all time. Earlier in 2019 the people at “Motorius.com” found out that this special car was to be auctioned off at Mecum’s 2020 Kissimmee (Florida) auction event.

Here are some of the pix that were published by Motorius.com in November last year (you will have to click the links to get to the pages on motorius.com, then close them to come back here):

By the way, the original Bullitt Mustang car from the movie was auctioned off at the Mecum Florida event yesterday – January 10, 2020 – selling for $3.4 million. Eat your heart out!

The Devel 16 – Real Or Not?

Some people say that the 5’000 HP Devel 16 is a modern myth. We don’t think so, and what you can see below will show you why.

To get you started, here’s a shot, supposedly of the geartrain for the Devel 16.

That picture is about three years old. What’s it look like today? No idea – I can’t afford a trip to the U.A.E.

But anyway, here is a delivery video for the first public drive (in Dubai) that should be relatively convincing. Maybe the sound is the best part?

More to come . . . Well, actually not at this point.
