April 15th, 2013 News from Anthony Bologna  Picture courtesy Jinfotografo/Flickr |
Anthony Bologna and Frank Panacci are facilitating with the City of
Brisbane to get a street named in the Town of Brisbane, Calif.
I'm sure we all know why Brisbane? This is
were the chase ends with the Charger going through the mock up fuel depot
and blows up on Guadalupe Canyon road. The location today is occupied by an
office building..
In the original script the chase goes along the
Marina Greens. The Mustang and Charger are heading up to the Golden Gate
Bridge, were the Charger was supposed to go over the side of the bridge.
The Golden Gate Bridge Authority's were not
happy with that, so it was rewritten to end on the outskirts of San Francisco.

It wasn't the correct DHG for this car, but David Kunz still enjoyed his ride in a 624HP 2013 Shelby GT350 at the last weeks Shelby bash. As the master of ceremonies, he held as well the speech at the banquett in the evening. Those who did not recognize him, now you know:-) As well he enjoyed the latest write-up of the Matt Stone article, that appeared on 10 pages in the new german sports car magazine GRIP. A copy is on its way to him.

The 50th. Anniversary and a Bullitt Remake insight? Looked like, but then checking out their announcement website, it seems to be not only the wrong spelling, but the wrong Frank Bullet character, the wrong car in it, the wrong...well, what else can you do wrong...picture it yourself in the preview, gallery. Nothing against the producers, the plot, the whatever, it just might need another name to convince me personally. |

When Tony Piazza says, he was there in 1968, then he was there. Good that he took the time to write down his memories of the filming in San Francisco. The good thing about this book is, you can read it for just 99 US Cents, get it online and you do something good to the Chino Boys group, host for the 45th. Anniversary event on April 17th. (The Hoondog event).

January 12th, 2013 We have a new Bullitt replica owner on board. This 1967 version made its way from California down under to Greg Brinkley in East Australia. "My 1967 was rebuilt in Bullitt style with repaint to Highland Green, new interior and various other specs. 67/68 fastbacks are hard to come by in Australia so this one came from California and arrived in my hands early 2011. ‘BULLITT’ number plates are for show purposes, but the car is great to drive and attracts much attention. Car is an
‘A’ Code so I left the new motor at a 289 with 4 barrel but a slightly
milder cam. Power disc brakes up front and many new suspension replacement
items but all standard Mustang as the budget was getting a bit thin. We will soon add him to our replica section.
Good luck and thanks for the additional lines, Greg. |

Ken Block did it and I missed it
:-). It was in the January 7th, 2013 news again - on the west coast, because the "Making of" is now available online. The BULLITT 45th. Anniversary is ON! It was a matter of time, but they did it last July already. Now the MAKING OF... is available online. The full Bullitt style stunt in San Francisco in Gymkhana style. Ken Block shows how that stunt would have been set-up today with no limits of a top notch rally-stunt-car. We heard, it took a million Dollar,
slowing down the traffic several weekends early morning on the Golden Gate
bridge and in the streets, but it really still pumps our Adrenalin.

tire tread. More to follow-up for the die-hard Bullitt replica owners. |

Bullitt chase review aired on French TV
TF1 December 10th, 2012 Thanks to the film team around Jean-Pierre and Christophe Gomez we got permission to upload it here for you. Thank you for the excellent cooperation. Here is the link |

 Ben Maccabee sent us this sad note: Actor Pat Ranella who stared with Steve Mcqueen in BULLITT (He's the guy McQueen shoots down at the airport. was the main bad guy) passed away in November the 9th., 2012 Interesting fact that I found out, that Pat was born on the same date as McQueen MAR 24TH, a year before McQueen was born, now check this out McQueen passed Nov 7th and Pat passed very close to this date Nov 9th... . |
Hollywoodreporter: Pat Renella, known for roles such as a gangster killed by Steve McQueen in 1968 crime thriller Bullitt, has died. He was 83. The actor’s niece confirmed to the Hollywood Reporter on Friday that Renella passed away Nov. 9 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after a long bout with chronic illness. Over his decades long career, Chicago native Renella — with his dark-haired, dark-eyed good looks — appeared on TV shows such as Mannix, General Hospital, S.W.A.T. and McCloud, and in the 1967 teen rebellion cult classic film Riot on Sunset Strip. In Bullitt, he plays Johnny Ross, who fakes his murder to escape the mob, and is hunted down by a San Francisco police lieutenant played by lead McQueen. Renella is survived by his niece and sister. |

The Bullitt Mirror Mystery -
Solved? By Mike Farrell December 1st, 2012 The Photo evidence:
The direct comparison leaves no doubt.... considering the wide angle photoshot (of which the background picture is a cutout)
|
One of the riddles long plaguing 1968 Bullitt
Replica Car Builders has been the round side-view mirror mounted on the movie
car in place of the OEM mirror. But after careful examination of the few
available movie stills combined with the modern technology of DVD/Blue Ray,
and High Definition, and a lot of luck, this riddles just may have been
solved. |

Friends of Steve McQueen Show
by Anthony Bologna
At Saturday's car
show competition and judging, I don't think that I've ever seen so many
"Highland Green" Mustangs in one place, at one time!. Whether
the year was 1968 (for the originals), or 2001 on up (for the
Bullitt Mustang Recreations), you couldn't have crammed too many more of those
'Pony Muscle Cars' on the grass display field. And when all of the
judging was completed, Frank's Charger took First Place for the "Bad
Guy's Car." Anthony had to accept the trophy (custom made by the
young men in the Boy's Republics Wood Shop....a true "one-of-a-kind"
award!), because Frank had to fly home and cheer-on his son Frankie to a high
school championship baseball win at the Oakland Coliseum.+
|
This year, we were lucky enough to spend some real quality time with Chad McQueen during both the dinner and car show. In fact, his room was just down the hall from ours at the hotel. Prior to this past weekend, we never actually knew what caused Chad's obvious physical injuries, but had only heard rumors. Chad explained, that he constantly suffers from pain as a result of the injuries that he received from a high-speed wreck that he was involved in during racing competition six years go. Apparently, he hit a wall at 170 mph, severely mangled his leg, crushed his chest, collarbone, neck and had vision impairment along with other impact injuries. He now uses a cane to assist his walking . Since we first met him two years go, at the 30th Anniversary of his Father's passing, it was apparent that his auto racing injuries have really taken a toll on Chad's body, but they haven't dampened his drive, spirit or commitment to the goals and success of the Boy's Republic.
At the
Friday night dinner, Frank's 68' Charger was staged on top of a specially
angled and fabric draped platform (surrounded by potted rose bushes!), that
was all part of the unique dinner table arrangement with center pieces of
Cable Cars and a 1968 Highland Green Mustang going over the hills in
Fisherman's Wharf 's guest seating area. The event organizers provided
a showcase so that we could display Frank's Father's unique photos of Steve
McQueen and other cast members. Also, Frank's Dad's San Francisco
Police Motor-Officer helmet and badge and other personal memorabilia were
shown. Additionally, the large Bullitt "behind the scenes" collage that Deb originally put together for Frank (with rare copies of his Dad's personal photos and letters) was digitally re-copied, enhanced photographed and framed. Three copies of it were auctioned off on Friday Night. We were thrilled, beyond belief, since each copy sold for $2,000 and raised a total of $6,000 for the Boy's Republic. Since we had only brought one framed copy with us, and we sold two more (that we didn't bring with us), Chad McQueen was gracious enough to agree to sign all three copies of the artwork prior to their final framing. Now, to bring an end to this "Reader's Digest" version, we were privileged to be a part of the Boy's Republic's fund raising program. One other lucky thing happened to our San Francisco North Beach Gang, we hooked-up with Glen Kalmack, who drove his 1968 mustang all the way down from Vancouver, Canada, to attend the event. When Chad McQueen took a picture with Glen and later signed his hat and sun visor, I thought that he (Glen) was going to 'pass-out'!! It was really uncanny how well Glen fit in with the 4 of us, just like he'd been hanging around the "old neighborhood" 
In summary,
everyone involved with the Friends of Steve McQueen Fundraiser were
"tip-top," and couldn't do enough to make all the dinner and show
participants feel "special." So, from the "Northern
California Italian Contingent," please accept our sincerest
appreciation for the time, work and caring that you put into every aspect of
this show. We were proud to play a small part in its overall success .

Recreating the most famous
chase scene for the Alcatraz series
created a lot of attention and fun in the streets of San Francisco.
Anthony Bologna was again there and joined the team as close a possible, also had a date with Sarah Jones, the main actor and send us some short movies of the actual filming. A very thrilling adventure, Anthony has a good
story with it to share with you:
How history has come a full circle with the
Bullitt chase coming to life after 44 years ago......Yes 44 years! Where
has the time gone!. My neighborhood was alive with Director Jack
Bender,assitant directors,trailers, lights, camera equipment, and film crew.
Posted on
the chase route buildings was an announcement that a car chase with
professionals was going to be filmed for a couple days. The cars
needed to moved and the film crew would be very cooperative with the
inconvenience.......
As, I'm walking
around the set,I noticed all the stunt drivers including Shauna Duggins
(2013 Mustang GT) and Jack Gill (2013 Charger) with Director Jack
Bender,and camera operators, had drawn a chalk story board on the
sidewalk with miniature cars displaying how the action would unfold......(see
first picture)
All of the stunt drivers had communication in
their cars, so that they knew when the director called ACTION or CUT.....or
safety was an issue everything came to a complete halt......The first of
many takes were at slow speeds, so that everyone knew what to expect of the
cars and how merciless the hills of San Francisco were on the
cars
The director and
camera crew from the Fox series "Alcatraz" spent hours filming
on Columbus and Taylor street trying to recapture one of the most iconic
scenes ever filmed in San Francisco. The chase from the 1968 film has been
called one of the greatest chase scenes of all time. "To be a part of something, that's paying respects, that I feel good about." said actress Sarah Jones. "But no one can fill Steve McQueen's shoes." ... ( KTVU) Jones plays detective Rebecca Madsen in the show, but her stunt double (Shauna Duggins) tackles the chase scenes. The Ford Mustang has the honor of being involved with perhaps the most iconic chase scene in history, with Steve McQueen piloting a 1968 Mustang Fastback in the movie Bullitt. The chase scene has had many reenactments although none can really capture the magic of the original. The Fox television series Alcatraz will be doing their very best to replicate the Bullitt chase in an upcoming episode March 26,2012. The show recently filmed various scenes of the chase in the streets of San Francisco using a brand new 2013 Mustang GT .
The series, in which a
group of investigators track down former "Alcatraz" prisoners who
somehow re-emerge in the present day, finds star Sarah Jones -- in Steve
McQueen-style turtleneck -- chasing a suspect through the same hilly streets
McQueen drove down . The Mustang is newer with better brakes airbags etc,
and a stunt woman, Shauna Duggins, does the actual driving
“We’re just trying
to recreate every single shot and add some more -so a lot of sliding around
the corners, a lot of getting close to things,” says stunt driver Jack
Gill. “It’s really easy to drive around slow, but when they say come
around it at 70 miles an hour, it’s a little different.” said Gill. (KTVU)
On a sad note, two
2013 Mustang GT cars were used for the chase.... The modified
one for the chase and jumper car will be destroyed when production is
done, while the hero car will still be around for future production......I
was told by the special effect crew on the set that the car will not be on sale
on Ebay or sold to the general public because of the modifications of
the engine,suspension, brakes,and add on's to protect the driver,
was not part of the Ford's original plan production or authorization of the
modifications.
You can also few some professional TV reporting on the making of...

How to surprise a BULLITT
MANIAC
Question: How does a True Bullitt Enthusiast from the United Kingdom celebrate her 60th Birthday? Answer: Return to Southern California, and take a cruise in her favorite 68 Mustang Fastback on the Pacific Coast Highway!
Last Spring, Teresa Peacock wished to return to
Southern California in order to celebrate a personal milestone, her 60th.
After meeting "T" as she likes to be called, at last year's
Tribute Event to Steve McQueen and Bullitt, my wife Dianne and I offered her
a place to stay at our home in Redondo Beach.
Hesitant at first, T pulled the trigger, and
booked her trip for the last week of September into the first week of
October.
Little did T know, a major surprise was now set
into motion involving her two daughters Kelly and Tracy, and her sister
Sharon.
As the Summer passed, the girls planned to make
T's 60th Birthday a day to remember.
The
Plan: To fly themselves to California without T's
knowledge, and surprise her by showing up at my home in Redondo Beach
unannounced.
|
 Teresa and the Mustang at Woody's Diner located in Sunset Beach, California  Kelly, Teresa, Sharon, and Tracy
The
Result: Arriving on September 28th, I picked T up at LAX,
and drove her to my home. Unbeknownst to T, her girls would arrive just 28
hours later.
The next evening T was enjoying a home cooked
meal, talking to my wife when suddenly Kelly, Tracy, and Sharon walked
through my front door. Classic!!!!!!!!
Completely shocked by their presence, T and her
family would enjoy the rest of their holiday, and T's 60th birthday
together.
All as a result of Ponysite.de, our
passion for Steve, Bullitt, and the 68 Mustang!

 "I visited this last weekends Friends of Steve McQueen Event. My Bullitt was the display car along with the Charger from Picture Cars. It was a great event, double the size from last year. I got to spend some time with my dear friend Chad McQueen. Couple a words about Chad. In my book and I'm sure in a lot of other people's books Chad is considered an one of a kind, a true genuine person, who has endless love towards his Dad - The Great late Steve McQueen. He carries the Legend with honours and lots of love to the people. Chad is an Icon - a man's man and I am proud to be his friend. G-d bless him and his family." Much obliged, Ben Maccabee |

April 24th, 2011 Bullitt Maniacs stick to their icons for a long time. It was a pleasure getting a mail from Bernard Decoene from Belgium - one of our meanwhile 58 worldwide Bullitt replica owners- whose car I spotted at a Mustang Meeting about a dozen years ago or so. This licence plate of course sticks to your memories easily. It is good to know this car is still around and even looks better today. Thanks to Bernard for sending us a short update on his 67 Fastback with a 302 claiming it has real 520 RWHP on a dyno. Who dares to challenge him for a race? Remembering the sound from back then, I think you're gonna loose. Here is the original replica entry |

April 5th, 2011 The first private owner of the new series of McQueen tribute cars from Gateway Classic Mustangs contacted us and hopefully will provide us soon with pics of his first coming out in San Francisco at the famous spots. Mike D. is proud about his new Bullitt car - being a Bullitt maniac for a number of years already. Having already a Bullitt 2008, he researched all the streets to drive in SFO for a total recall of McQueens ride of the century. |
For 135.000 Dollar, this tour really deserves to be the ultimate driving experience. We hope he returns safe to be able to give us some insight, how that lifetime experience felt.

Glen Kalmack keeps us busy for good with his
cloned movie memorabilia. THE BULLITT TV DINNER SET  We would not be the Unexpected Ponysite, if we don't make room for the UNEXPECTED BULLITT stuff. This is Glens latest creation for his show display, a almost NOS looking TV dinner set, that Lt. Bullitt bought at the shop across his house. See the screenshots on the right or review the movie for the original scenes in the movie. The set looks exactly like the original and Frank bought also onions. The correct paper bag goes with this set. Some may think Glen needs a therapy, but wait until you see his mannequin, he just prepares. Now you are getting curious, are you? |
