With only a year to go before the 50th year anniversary of the movie Bullitt, it’s very fitting that the long lost 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback has been found. In a Mexican junkyard of all places!

If you’ve been watching JJ Abrams’ Alcatraz TV series on FOX you most probably have noticed the Bullitt Mustang appearing in the background. There’s no coincidence the producers chose a Bullitt Mustang as Detective Rebecca Madsen’s car of choice, after all, the series shares the same streets of San Francisco as the famous chase scene from the movie Bullitt. So it’s quite fitting that the season finale has included a tribute to this original scene, this time with a 2013 Mustang.

A few years back the guys over at Mustangs Plus commissioned a great project to recreate a Bullitt Mustang using one of the then new Dynacorn bodies. Working with Dynacorn and The Restomod Shop they managed to finish the project to an amazing standard and produce a great recreation clip of the chase scene from the movie.

News out this week that Chad McQueen of the Steve McQueen estate and Gateway Classic Mustangs are teaming up to produce a handful of Limited Edition 1968 Steve McQueen Mustangs. The 450hp small block Mustangs will be signed and numbered and We guess won’t come cheap either.

We’ve all seen the famous chase scene from Bullitt but have you seen it re-enacted in 1/32 scale? I bet not. Well now one devoted UK slot-car fan has set about creating such a thing. User ’emigre’ has been painstainkly building the ultimate set with stunning detail. The professional photographer has been using his know-how to achieve some stunning shots which you can see in the video after the jump.

A few weeks ago I posted a video on Unique Performance by Hot Rod TV. Obviously an old video from the time when Unique were at the top of their game. But now I’ve just seen a brand spanking new video Hot Rod TV have put together entitled ‘Hollywood Muscle’.

The guys over at Autoblog have posted up a fantastic and some would say rare behind-the-scenes video from the movie Bullitt. The movie is best known for one of the best car chase scenes in movie history. Check out the full 10-minute “making of” documentary after the jump. Oh and I’ve included the original chase scene for good measure.
