Now, however, automobile enthusiast Hugo Sanchez and his friend Ralph Garcia Jr, who makes a living turning old cars into replicas of the "Eleanor" Mustang from Gone in 60 Seconds, have discovered the elusive artifact in a scrapyard in the Mexican state of Baja California.

At first, Garcia was planning to turn the priceless Bullitt relic into another "60 Seconds" replica. Luckily, however, he has a policy of checking any Mustangs he might receive with the Ford production database held by the company Marti Auto Works.

According to Fox News, he was "shocked" when the results came back for this particular model.
