Just months after the 1968 Ford Mustang that starred in Bullitt sold for an astonishing $3.74M to set a record high for the iconic pony car, another Mustang may soon give it a run for its money—literally. Mecum paused its Glendale (Arizona) Auction proceedings on March 11 to announce that the 1965 Shelby GT350R prototype known as “The Flying Mustang” will be offered at its 2020 Indianapolis sale in May.
“This is the only Mustang that Ken Miles ever drove… probably the winningest Mustang ever… the car that was built to make the Mustang a performance car,” Mecum president and founder Dana Mecum told the auction crowd and a national television audience on NBCSN. “If there’s ever a car that could surpass what the Bullitt car sold for, you’re looking at it now.”
