Did you know . . .
You can credit the stunt vehicle coordinator (Carey Loftin) for customizing the 1968 Mustang GT used in BULLITT by adding Torque-Thrust wheels. It didn't suffer the same fate that the Charger did which had wheel covers on it. Every time a jump or severe turn (which caused the 14x6" wheels to flex) was done, it lost at least one wheel cover. A total of 8 can be seen lost throughout the chase. If only they had added the Chrome Magnum 500 Road Wheels which in 1968 did not use trim rings - this "blooper" could have been avoided. Ahhhh . . . hindsight is always crystal clear!
