　　After Bullitt wrapped, the hero car was sold to a studio manager in Los Angeles, who kept it briefly before selling it, coincidentally, to a police detective. The officer shipped the car to New York and kept it for about three and a half years before placing a for－sale ad in the back of Road&Track magazine in 1974. His $6,000 asking price was somewhat steep, but Robert Kiernan, a New Jersey insurance manager and Mustang fan, went out to look at it. He bought it for his wife to use as a daily driver.

The Kiernans had kept the car secret mainly to protect themselves from rumormongers(散布谣言者). But that didn't stop Steve McQueen from finding it in 1977. Kiernan's son said, "Dad had owned the car for three years at that point. And he got a phone call from McQueen asking about the car, how it was, and if Dad had changed anything on it. And McQueen said, 'I would really like to buy it if there's not too much involved with it. I'll replace it with a similar car so long as it's not a crazy amount of money.' But Dad declined."
