pretty sure this is the same street, Levenworth and Vallejo I believe, we were in San Francisco for a cruise a few yrs ago, and I went walking around looking for the streets that Ken Block used in that drifting video. Last pic is up on Twin Peaks.

I found this recently and thought it was pretty cool, so I bought it. I like the little figures inside - especially the guy holding the shotgun.

where did you find that?

It was on Ebay. I have since added the companion Mustang complete with a little Frank Bullitt (Steve McQueen) figure.

Google "Road & track Bullitt Mustang found". Pretty cool write up. The second original movie Mustang has been found & is at our Detroit Auto show parked next to the again another 2019 Bullitt edition Mustang. It has been with a regular ole Family in Tenn for 40+ years & now the owners Son has a multiple Million dollar investment but they are not in it for the money as even Steve McQueen knew about the car & they wouldn't sell it to him even.

The one at the show is the one that was never "lost". It was in Morning View before they moved to TN. A post above had a linked article about it. The second one that was lost was found about 40 miles from me in Mexicali. So I have been near both of them lol.

What do you suppose that stripe thingy is underneath in front of the rear wheel?

What do you suppose that stripe thingy is underneath in front of the rear wheel?

It's hard to say, but I wonder if it could be a heavy coiled power cord of some type. But who knows.
