This is what a 50 year old car is supposed to look like .
Not pristeen , not pampered .
Just used and enjoyed .

You can use a car and take much better care of it than this. That car was neglected.

Totally agree, I love well used older cars. I guess that's why shows like Roadkill appeal to me so much.

Good thing Mythbusters didn't get a hold of it, they would of destroyed it like the multiple Corvettes and classic Mustangs they have ruined in the name of science.

For years a 3rd grade teacher was driving the Bullitt car as her daily commuter? What?!

There's a certain charm about this car going from a film star to a completely anonymous life as a school teacher's car.

I can say the Mustang have been in safe hands for all these years compared to the mess that another famous missing car, the original Shelby Daytona, went through.

If it means quitting my day job , and becoming a 3rd grade teacher , to earn & drive that car , where do I sign up?
