Now Bullet was what you call a movie, no stupid CGI or special effects just real people doing really hard driving stunts.

I haven't seen the film in a very long time now but do remember going to the cinema to see it and loving every second of it. I mean come on fast cars Robert Vaughn, Steve McQueen and the beautiful Jacqueline Bisset plus an actual plot and story to the film how could anyone not love the film. I must have been 8 or 9 at the time and going to the cinema to see a big film was a really big deal. Being in the UK we didn't really get to see muscle cars like the Mustang or Dodge Charger our roads just weren't right for them but that didn't mean we couldn't appreciate them from afar. The closest I ever got to a muscle car was Jensen Interceptor that if memory serves me well had a big block Chrysler V8, would have loved to have driven a Dodge Charger even for a short while.

After seeing the movie Bullitt in 1968 I was enthralled with the Dodge Charger, not the Mustang. So I hunted around and found one in 1970 and painted it black with a black vinyl top and Bob's your uncle. Unfortunately I sold it in 1973. Bullitt was a movi...

No doubt. Best car chase ever filmed...at least that I know of.

I think that Volkswagen appears in almost as many shots as the action cars do!

Fortunately you got to enjoy the Charger in it’s absolute prime +++

Back in the day we had a game we played where the driver put a 20 dollar bill on the dashboard....

and if the passenger could grab it, while the driver was going through the gears, he could have it. The g force stuck you back into the seat and you could never quite grab it. Very frustrating.

My pal Berge had a '70 GTX 440 four-barrel . . .
