[Richard Cranium]

Clint has excellent tastes in cars.

So thats where the Bullet mustang went after auction ?

I’m skeptical of anything I see in a YouTube compilation.
Hemi cuda convertibles have been talked about extensively in the Mopar world for ages and a large % of them were displayed at MCACN in 2015. How is it that Clint Eastwood owns one of them but it’s been pretty much been kept a secret?
Mecum selling the Bullitt Mustang at Kissimmee was a huge deal a few years ago with a bunch of hype. He bought it and that wasn’t revealed to the public?
There are a few articles on his cars and not much agreement between what the articles say and the video.

I had no idea Clint was the buyer of the Bullitt Mustang.

 

[Mopars & Missiles]

What.......no Gran Torino in that list? Unbelievable.

 

[chargervert]

What.......no Gran Torino in that list? Unbelievable.

Glad it wasn’t just me cause I was thinkin the same thing… but the video title DOES say RAREST cars

Clint has excellent tastes in cars.

So wait.

I looked but can't find it anywhere else...was Clint the anonymous buyer of the Bullitt mustang?

Glad it wasn’t just me cause I was thinkin the same thing… but the video title DOES say RAREST cars

Other articles I read after seeing this - trying to find out about the mustang - said he does own a Gran Torino. Maybe the one from the movie - car articles by non-car publications are .....vague.

You guys bring up some valid points. Thanks.

I tried to watch that video but it mixed in different cars (some even the wrong year) and the facts seemed pretty murky. The Ferraris seemed plausible but it sounded like a a few domestics were maybe the same year and model as the real movie cars. Nonetheless if half of it is true he does like the good stuff, which I prefer to believe. It sounds like he bought a new GT500 and still has it and that one was the biggest one to me. I always liked those flatback Torinos from the early 70's too but of course not as much as the Shelby.
On the Railroad we had a saying believe nothing of what you hear and half of what you see and I have to stretch that if I watch any You Tube at all.

Clint is getting up there in age,time will tell when they all will hit the auction block when he kicks the bucket.Will be interesting as how they promote the cars.This story n the ones at the auction

I recently retired from the insurance company that provides coverage for many of his vehicles and motorcycles. Anything with a value over $250k is insured in the specialty market - not us - and I would imagine that if the video is to be believed, that would include many of the vehicles shown.

I can tell you that he has quite a collection.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Clint is getting up there in age

At 94, I’d say that he’s already up there in age.

 

[Hey-O]

It's not just the cars, it's the great stories behind each one. Talk about one of one!

 

[chargervert]

You have to wonder how much of the car stories from the internet that you can believe. I just read a story about the 69 Blue Daytona Charger that was never registered. The story says that the car was originally sent to a dealership in Rhode Island, which is correct, but the said it was sent to Florida and remained there for the last 50 years. That is total BS! The car went to Brockton Dodge in Massachusetts, and was owned by the family that owned that dealership until it was sold about seven years ago. The car remained in Massachusetts up until that sale. I personally know who stored the car for the family that owned the dealership and where in Massachusetts it was stored.

Some of the facts seem like hyperbola, but nice cars, great taste in cars
he has (or has had) the cash to buy anything he wanted too...
Lots of originality in some...

Mayor of Carmel/Pebble Beach, has some connections...

How much of that stuff I believe, maybe 1/2 of it,
I don't doubt he had the cars
he must have had a buyer doing his bidding for the Bullitt Mudstain,
$7,000,000 plus fees, $7.7 mill plus
(& there was 3 of them built for the movie IIRC, it didn't look like 'the car' that sold at Mecum either)
on screen after it sold, it certainly wasn't him at Mecum, they interviewed after

I like his flicks still too,
even Tv/INSP his part 'Rowdy Gates' in Wagon Train

 

[SlingLow]

What caught my ear is when they said that Ford liked the idea of Dirty Harry driving their Mustang when Clint took delivery of his 70 Boss 429 in 1969. Dirty Harry was filmed in 1971.

Show me a pic with Clint in a car... then I'll buy it...
