Pretty cool and also pretty rough condition (on the Bullitt car)

I saw that too. But then, what would happen to the value if it was fixed up ? Maybe 30 years from now the younger generation who don't know who Steve McQueen was would probably get away with a complete restoration. Maybe it's just me, but the car holds more value as it somewhat represents the car Steve McQueen had. I don't know if you read the whole description or not, but Steve did have areas roughed up so it would not look like a new car.

I don't know but I don't remember that car looking that rough ? These "movie cars" are usually well cared for.This poor thing looks like it spent some time in bottom of the ocean.

Well my niece is here this weekend. She was born on the same day as my son exactly one year later. She's a five year old little firecracker. We are burying a cache this afternoon !! I got a big glass bottle that's shaped like a skull that's filled with pennies and a few quarters. I'm gonna put a gold earring in it and then were gonna bury it. Wooo hooo !!

 

[Blak bart]

Good morning guys....BBL...going to dive a wreck with islamorada mark !! See ya !!

 

[RTR]

You are pretty low maintenace. Well, except for blowing holes in the rum budget

So Bill made me think of something: what if you guys were multi millionaires\billionaires? What would you do?
I think I would buy a large chunk of Missouri land with a cave. And maybe an island. Then I am not sure.

I'd start with buying this.The inside is WAYYYYY Cool

Roger,

50 years later maybe some rust popped through....here's a clip from the chase scene.

I had to take another look. I guess I was so caught up with the car's history that I missed what you saw. I agree with you. It is rough and that is just what we can see.

Same cave house...different video...

Good morning GB
