This 1968 Dodge Charger R/T is said to be one of two cars used in the filming of the Bullitt car chase starring Steve McQueen. The car was found in Arizona and restored to this condition by the current owner, who also documented the odd holes in the floor, door jamb, and trunk that he claims were for the camera rig. He offers the links below that show photos of the car being used for filming. Interestingly, he says there was a second car that was used for the high-speed gas station crash at the end of the chase, and that one was not an R/T. Find this one here on cars-on-line.com in Tucson, Arizona for $1,000,000 firm. Special thanks to BaT reader John M. for this submission!

The seller apparently didn’t know of the car’s film history until holes presumably drilled for camera mounting were discovered underneath the carpet during the disassembly process. The VIN of the actual car is unknown, but there does seem to be quite a bit of evidence in favor of its movie provenance. The seller, an Arnold Welch, puts much of the evidence together on this German muscle car site. The pre-restoration photos are found at this blog link, and the car was shown in restored form at SEMA in 2011.

The black plate wouldn’t be hard to reproduce, but a real document showing that that plate was assigned to the car for sale would be worth bigtime cash. It is interesting that a Charger was used as a camera car as well as on screen. Maybe that external rig on the passenger side is how they got all the motion shots of the two henchmen inside.

Purported to originally be yellow, the seller claims it was then repainted black for filming, then repainted factory yellow and finally gold prior to resale at Valley Dodge in Van Nuys, California, in 1970.

Factory-equipped with a 440 CID V-8, 4-speed manual and Dana 60 rear end, the car is said to have 62,000 original miles. Ignoring the seven-figure asking price for a moment, that’s our ideal spec — not including the ultra-rare 426 Hemi cars, of course, of which many were equipped with fun-sapping Torqueflight automatics anyway.

We’d love to see what happens to this car in the future. We would think that the big auctions would be all over it if the claims could be substantiated. It just seems so odd that it was posted to such an odd classified site. We’ll be watching this one.
