1968 Ford Mustang Fastback
GT390 fastback coupe
The 1968 Mustang GT390 used Ford’s 6.4-litre FE-series big-block V8 producing 325 hp. Body styles included the fastback (“2+2”) coupe; transmission was either a four-speed manual or a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic.
Bullitt was filmed in 1968 with two GT390 Mustangs (a hero car and a stunt car). Both survived: the stunt car was rediscovered in Mexico in the 2000s, the hero car remained in private hands and sold for $3.74 million in 2020 — then a Mustang auction record.
