HEY BULLITTHEADS, Was in upstate N.Y. over week end, stop to buy ice cream for the kids[alright for me too.] while parking bullitt #569 guy asks me "Hey are you Steve Mcqueen?" I said "no are you popeye the sailor man?" [just kidding, I said no.] Have you had any similar questions asked while driving your bullitt?

Nope.. most people in my neck of the woods do not know what the hell a Bullitt is or the movie... accept some old timers...

Maybe it's due to my region (Canandaigua, NY)
or the age of my acquaintances, but I'm getting lots of McQueen & Bullitt recognition. Went to NMRA event last nite and attracted lots of comments. Most want to
know where they can be bought. Paloman

If someone even knows what my car is I'm happy.

I've had a surprising number of young people checking out the car. They know what it is and they know the movie reference! Pretty impressive for a bunch of teenagers. Last night I was at a hobby shop and found the metal body scale model of the orignal Bullitt Mustang with a little figure of Frank Bullitt with it! While I was checking out, I glanced out in the parking lot and there was a crowd of 12-14 year old kids around my car. They were there with the R/C car club and stopped what they were doing to check it out. They were especially happy when I let a little rubber fly on my way out!

Some dummy wanted to know where I got the Bullitt badging so he could put it on his SUV. Really!

Just the other day some kid behind the counter of a gas station greeted me with "so, where's the rear spoiler?" I said "It's a Bullitt. I don't need no stinking spoiler."
