I've been wondering...... Ford made the 01 Bullitt Mustang GT replicating the 68' Fastback in the movie. Back in 2001 Mike, aka B-Man, started up a forum called IMBOC for all Bullitt owners/enthusiasts to talk about their cars and the movie.
Did 68' Charger enthusiasts do the same? Was there a forum for them started back then too? I guess it takes a special person to do so and Mike was it for us! Why didn't Dodge produce a 68' replica in 2001 or after/also, for their enthusiasts? They must have seen how popular and sold out the 01's were back then and didn't they want to get a piece of action too?

...and where is the original and who wound up buying the Bullitt at Mecum? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yes, where is the original Charger? Did it get scrapped as it had a lot of dents and scrapes! Or did it actually go through the fire?

Sad to say that I've only followed the Charger story sparingly. Here's an article about what is thought to be one of two used for the filming.

This Is the 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Original Bullitt Movie Car

Even in less-than-ideal condition, a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 with a 4-speed manual makes for a gem. However, the one we have here doesn't just come in pristine condition, but is also said to be the only survivor of the two Chargers that gave Steve McQueen's 1968 Mustang GT 390 a hard time in...

You ask very good questions, Vicki. We can count ourselves fortunate that the Mustang and Steve McQueen are intertwined, resulting in Ford leveraging the emotion behind this relationship so we wound up with three different editions.
