Unique Cars magazine's classic giveaway for a lucky reader

Forty years on, the legendary Bullitt film still raises the pulse of those with high octane fuel running through their veins.

The reason?

The '68 Mustang Fastback driven by big screen legend, Steve McQueen. Playing a San Francisco cop, McQueen takes part in nine of the most exciting minutes in Hollywood history, as his big-block Mustang chases, jumps, and bangs through San Francisco streets in pursuit of the bad guy's Dodge Charger.

Now Unique Cars magazine, in conjunction with Shannons Insurance and Antique Tyres, is giving away to one lucky reader the ultimate car prize: a faithful recreation of the Bullitt Mustang.

Just like the movie car, it's an original 'S Code' 390ci V8 GT Fastback with four-speed Top Loader manual, factory disc brakes, nine-inch diff and dual, four pipe exhaust.

Repainted in the famous Highland Green Metallic, the classic Mustang also features the plain black grille, round side mirror, and deleted exterior trim -- just like Detective Frank Bullitt's daily driver!

Inside, there's the all-important black trim, upper console and woodgrain instrument panel plus a Shelby-style woodrimmed steering wheel.

Completing the movie-correct look are American Racing Torq-Thrust D wheels shod in BF Goodrich Comp T/A tyres.

It even has 'JJZ 109' California mock-up plates -- perfect for car shows or Bullitt remakes!

The total prize value is $80,000 including delivery in Australia, on-road costs and 12 months Shannons Insurance.

To enter, just buy the latest issue of Unique Cars, fill out the coupon, and send it in. You can also enter online at uniquecarsmag.com.au, or subscribe to the magazine for even more chances to win.
