I heard the whole story right out of Kevin's mouth many years ago. With his stature in the car community I highly doubt this would be anything but legit.

Don't believe everything you have heard,

To add to this most magnificent story:

This is the latest I had heard of "El Bullitt Numero Dos" or "558"

On October 3rd, 2025 :

Finally #558, the second Bullitt movie car comes to light again after 8 years of "restoration".


The team says, they have sourced 80% NOS Ford pieces to rebuild the remainders of the car that was found in the mexican wrecking yard as a white painted schell and later verified by Kevin Marti along the saved rusted parts and hidden VINs and VIN impressions in the fenders.

Everybody knew this would be a tough project without a predictable result, but obviously the team took the challenge with the best possible way - using NOS parts.

If it has become a legend?


The issue is, #559 hero car is a clear comparison and thus the judgement will be always quite clear.

But still this #558 was and is the stunt car and was way more molested already in the movie itself and in the ditch.

Although most Bullitt fans want certainly a banged and damaged car back, it is how it is.

They called me several times looking for parts and its in the LA area from what i remember.

I would feel a lot better about the authentication if Kevin had viewed the car before it was restored. According to the videos online, that doesn't seem to be the case.

I haven't talked to Kevin about the car, so maybe its just other people saying he "authenticated" the car.  There is a big difference between saying the numbers are correct and authenticating in my mind.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Kevin authenticated the VIN number and didn't authenticated the car.

Has it been reported yet who bought the Hero car at the auction?

[FL SAAC]

Bullitt # 558 certified and bonafided by Mr. Marti.

Some pictures of # 558 also known to others as "The Jumper"

With all of the so called NOS parts used and what we know of how many of those vary from assemblyline and disregarding and movie set modifications it will be interesting to see how assemblyline correct (which would be fitting) that they made the rest of the car.

[Coralsnake]

I can tell you without hesitation there is not a lot of NOS metal (or original) on the car
