Pictured above is Steve McQueen's son Chad with Bullitt #1, 1 of 2 pre-production Bullitt's given to the McQueen family. Bullitt #002 which will be auctioned off was suppose to be given to Steve's daughter Terry McQueen Flattery but unfortunately she passed away before receiving the car. Instead the car went to Steve and Neile's (first wife) granddaughter Molly McQueen who is the daughter of Terry. Bullitt #002 is finished in Dark Highland Green and is in new condition with only 50 miles on the odometer.

To go even further down the list Bullitt #3 ended up with the marketing guy who put this campaign together. Bullitt #4 was retained by Ford Motor Company and if you want to go even further down the Bullitt list, #5 was the first available to the public and was owned by Stangnet.com owner Mr. Raburn.

Other memorabillia items for sale are being offered by Steve McQueen's first wife Neilie McQueen Toffel ( Neile Adams) who has cleaned out her closet so to speak. The items include a hilted dagger from Jay Sebring, two signed images of Steve, Mrs. McQueen's racing jacket from 1970 LeMans, autographed movie still from Bullitt, Steve's first racing trophy, ISDT driver's license and other items which can be viewed here.

The car and memorabillia items are being auctioned by Bonhams on October 25, 2008 at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, CA. More info on all the auction items can be found at Bonhams.com.
