This model....

Such a gorgeous car.  It made me feel sick to see it get destroyed in the Bullitt chase scene.  I know it's just entertainment buuuut.......

@jack-dodds I agree Jack. Way to many Chargers were destroyed for cinematic purposes, and that is sad. 🥺

Great pictures Geno. I got both cars when they came out and have them displayed together.

I have my Charger displayed on my Charger shelf, and the Mustang, on my Mustang shelf.😊

@jack-dodds what a great set Geno, and a great wife. You’re a lucky guy! How many people know that the Charger actually went behind the pumps and wasn’t destroyed. Even though it missed its mark the scene was left in because it would go way over budget to rebuild and reshoot it. The director figured not many people would notice it because of all of the explosions and fire. If you slow the footage down you can clearly see the Dodge dodging the apocalypse. (Pun intended)!

@kevins Just like the Vanishing Point '70 Challenger R/T. It was a gutted white Camaro that was destroyed hidden behind similar fireball pyrotechnics.

@rich-sufficool So true Rich,In the 50’s the movie and TV guy’s weren’t even trying. Broderick Crawford would run a ‘53 Chevy convertible off the road and you’d see a ‘40 ford sedan rolling down the hill and bursting into flames!

A beautiful model Geno. I have the set as well. 

Geno, the assassin picked a beautiful Dodge Charger and so did your wife. Good doing!

Thanks guys, she does take good care of me. 😁

@kevins The Charger looked pretty much destroyed anyway as it careened off road and toward the impending blevy.  I have read many times that two Chargers were used in Bullitt and both were destroyed.....for what its worth.  Lol.

@geno The fact that she can pick out presents for you is amazing to me. My wife was born and raised in Communist Poland so 'car culture' is totally foreign to her. She tolerates the fact that our home is overrun with these little cars. In all the years, she's only commented on one model... she really likes the 1948 Saoutchik Cadillac. Go figure.

@jack-dodds This is what I could find out on the Chargers.😊

At least one 1968 Dodge Charger from the filming of Bullitt is believed to have survived, specifically a yellow Charger used for in-cabin camera shots that was later repainted and reportedly sold back to a dealership, eventually ending up in Arizona with a new owner who later discovered camera mounting holes. The other Charger, which was used in the final gas station explosion scene, was destroyed.
While two Dodge Chargers were used for the chase scene, the one that was destroyed was a blue non-R/T model, and the other, a yellow R/T, was repainted black for the film and used for closer shots and camera work. This yellow Charger is the one believed to have survived and was eventually found by Arnold Welch, who found evidence of camera mounts and began restoring it. It has since been sold and was last known to be in the possession of a German dealership.

It is a beautiful Charger!  I don't have it, but certainly would add it to my shelves in a heartbeat.  And my liking it has absolutely nothing to do with its reference to the Bullet movie, I just like it.  As for the Mustang, sorry don't like it.  That fastback styling gets lost on me.
