Default Re: Bullitt Charger Found?

As an owner of a 68 Charger Bullitt tribute car I have followed that Bullitt site for a few years and have contributed my findings on whether or not two or three Chargers were used for filming and how they were optioned. This was done by watching the various scenes at a film editing lab that is managed by a friend.
The claims made by Arnold Welch may be valid, certainly the holes he is pointing out could definitely been used as camera mounts and are consistant with the Camera car photo and angles used in the film.
I have emailed him and asked questions about how the car was optioned according to the build sheet to see if it was consistant with observations on the cars in the film.
Given the thoroughness of Max Bachowsky in prepping these cars I am sure he would have covered details to make sure all cars looked alike even though they may ahve been built as a different color or had some different options. See my postings at the Bullitt site about option differences on the cars(headrests, shoulder belts and steering wheel.
As a challenge to the editors of the site and Arnold one must be aware of the countless times a Dodge Charger has been used in a movie or TV series and there must be quite a few out there with holes drilled in funny places.
The claims from the owner could be real and can be substantiated with a little more detective work.
