2011 Limited Edition '68 Steve McQueen Signature Mustang

The St. Louis-based company Gateway Classic Mustang has partnered with the Steve McQueen Estate to produce a modern rendition of the 1968 Ford Mustang featured in the movie Bullitt. Under the hood is Ford Racing’s 347 crate motor with 450 hp. This power is hooked up to a late-model T-45 five-speed manual with a conversion kit from Keisler Engineering – In a nod to the past, a 1968 shifter has been used. With an estimated value of $80,000 to $120,000 USD each. (silodrome.com & autoblog.com)
