My fellow Mustang enthusiast Bruce Kafenbaum has forwarded this Hagerty article "Filming the Frisco Flyers" documenting the making of Steve McQueen's Bullitt.
Check out the article and these highlights of one of the greatest car chases ever filmed.
Enjoy,

The six Vanderbilt Cup Races held on Long Island from 1904 to 1910 were the greatest sporting events of their day, and the first international automobile road races held in the United States. The races had a far-reaching impact on the development of American automobiles and parkways. This site provides comprehensive information on the races, the Long Island Motor Parkway and current Long Island automotive events, car shows and news.

Still love it! The BluRay edition is worth adding to your collection.
How many ‘67 ‘Stangs were built for “Bullitt”? How many oil pans were sheared off??!?
Bullitt also has one of the best soundtracks ever…by the famous Lalo Schifrin. Consider it a prelude to his work on Dirty Harry. BUT…the ultimate genius of both Schifrin and McQueen is the subtle fact that the entire car chase is witnessed without any hint of music other than the sound of the cars.
