I believe the gentleman in Kentucky - who refused to sell it - has since passed away and his family (son & daughter, I think) are now the keepers of the car. With the 50th Anniversary of Bullitt upcoming I bet it gets flushed out. Apparently Kevin Marti has given the thumbs up on this Mexico car as the "long-thought-crushed" camera car.
