Cool Finds
Ford Mustang from 1968 Bullit film found & restored
What was once the star of a 1968 blockbuster chase film was found rotting away in a small Mexican peninsula and has been restored back to its former glory. The iconic Ford Mustang’s claim to fame is the 1968 film Bullit starring Steve McQueen in one of the most recognised […]
