Bullitt: Steve McQueen's 1968 Ford Mustang License Plate

A licence plate from Frank Bullitt’s (Steve McQueen) 1968 Ford Mustang GT featured in Peter Yates’ action film, Bullitt. Renowned for his spectacular car chase through the streets of San Fransisco, Frank Bullitt drove a Ford Mustang with this plate throughout the film. This plate was removed from one of the wrecked Mustangs and gifted to a fan who was watching the filming of a scene in San Francisco. It was one of multiple plates and Bullitt cars used in filming the iconic chase scene.

Made from metal, the licence plate has been painted jet black with yellow raised lettering. The California state plate displays the license “JJZ 109” and has the number “63” engraved in the registration space. The back of the plate shows an embossed label that reads “Bullitt Mustang.” Paired with the licence plate are vintage behind-the-scenes photographs that are printed on Kodak photo paper and were taken during filming by the fan who was gifted the licence plate. The license plate shows scratches to the paint and remains in very good condition.
