August 15th, 2010 News about Bullitt stuff flooding my mailbox Sometimes I wish I had way more time to do all this. This is Hot August and the 30th. Anniversary of Steve McQueens death. Frank Panacci was there during the filming as one of the cops and never lost the thrill and special atmosphere from his mind nor his friendship developped with Steve himself. Now he has finally succeeded to have his own 2 main movie actors to play with - a 68 Charger and a Bullitt replica. The ultimate scenario and pride of ownership, a Bullitt maniac can think of, Frank has realized his dreams. Together with his friend - our Bullitt website co-founder - Anthony Bologna they are now ready to take any serious offers for photoshootings in San Francisco. |

July 30th, 2010 You may wonder what the Planet of the Apes and Bullitt have in common, right? I wondered myself..until I checked the web and
found out that the first movie actually came out in mid 1968 ...just like the
movie Bullitt. That's it? |
  Left or right....Cool enough for some 2011 Bullitt mystery? |
|
July While 1968 Fastbacks are becoming rare these days, people start to look for hardtops and "bullittize" them. Eugenio Giambona lives in San Francisco and could not stand it any longer, so he built his own Bullitt Hardtop. From my point of view, it has the right stance and coolness factor to play in a movie, probably even more it has the McQueen desired understatement factor built in as a cop car. We will add it to our "What, if.." section later this year, when Eugenio has done his photo tour through the movie locations. Watch out for his car jumping the roads. He may get overwhelmed by the memories. |

June 14th Glen Kalmack had his day at a photo shoot with Michael Bublé. "He's a very popular singer. Nordstroms USA had hired him to do a photo shoot for their line of Hugo Boss clothing. He wanted a Bullitt car real bad, so when it all came together he was real happy. We chatted for a few minutes and he seems to be a real cool guy and really loved my car, so I made him an offer to loan him my car to take his Fiancee' out for a cruise someday. It was an excellent experience and everybody really liked my car." Don't know who Michael Bublé is? |

This ain't no ordinary Bullitt replica Glen Kalmack had very early decided that he wants to separate his Bullitt replica from the rest of the ones that are around these days. He spent extra time and money to be able to create a better idea about a car show scenario and met with Paul Martin, whose Charger we feature on this Bullitt site as well. They both share the extra passion for the movie to work on their cars and take them even closer to the "real deal". Showgoers may this year already spot their cars in the canadian western corner. Now look close at this pic and you see the camera fixtures that are close to those on the surviving Bullitt car. Glen had them recently done and fixed to his subframe. He also seeked advice from David Kunz for the camera used in the movie and might have a replica available this summer. See further updated pics in the Replica section. |
 The camera framework- recreated by Glen Kalmack on his Bullitt replica. He just works on a McQueen poster stand-up, a photo-shooting and an appearance in a movie. |

March 28th, 2010 and April 14th. We are still following the Charger resto project of Arnold Welch, who claims to have one of the surviving Chargers, while most still have doubt in it. But anybody as well as Arnold should get a chance to proove his claims one day with the evidence he may have. We'll see it coming at least.

THE LATEST
ADDITION TO
THE
BULLITT REPLICA GANG |
...comes from Canada and proofs that we don't know
each of them yet.  "I've owned this '68 J Code Mustang Fastback since 1988. When I first purchased it, it was a bucket of bolts in about 8 boxes. It took me from 1988 until 1995 to complete. Just about every piece of sheet metal other than the roof has been replaced. Also, the engine, automatic transmission and 9" rear were replaced by myself along the way. Most of the interior has been replaced. It was painted in 1995, and could use another restoration now, as there are some dents and paint scratches, but it adds personality and I think Steve McQueen would approve" Dave Duivesteyn |

"It was thanks to your web site, that I discovered this car. I follow the BULLITT page very closely, & when I realized Don was selling his 67 Bullitt, I drove down to see it. Being an avid Steve McQueen fan, it didn’t take much convincing to make him a serious offer. Within a month later, I flew down & drove it home. Scott |
