FINALLY, both Bullitt Mustangs are in the public eye and accounted for! We’ve all heard about the one found down in Mexico, and now, after 38 years, the well known “Bowling Green Bullitt” has surfaced, having been hidden in a barn since 1980.

Wow. Were they waiting for the new Bullitt reveal to break this news?
EDIT: found this
Sean Kiernan, owner of the hero vehicle, inherited the car in 2014 from his late father, Robert, who had purchased the vehicle in 1974. To fulfill his family’s lifelong dream, Sean contacted Ford and the two parties worked together to reveal his movie star car alongside the all-new 2019 Mustang Bullitt at the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
“You know, it was never our intention to keep this car a secret from everybody,” Sean said. “It just kind of happened with life. I’m just completely buzzing to join with Ford and the new Bullitt and show this car to the world on one of the biggest stages there is.”

I admit to feeling kinda guilty, because I always bought into the whole “Owner’s an asshole” thing, and that’s clearly not the case.

It’s still kind of a weird story, though. The Kiernan family’s “lifelong dream” was... to show off the car with the 2019 model? Hey, whatever floats your boat I guess.

Did you read the hagerty story attached at bottom? (May have been kinja-ed)
Says they wanted to show it off to the world, but life got in the way. They were going to do it with the other couple Bullit releases, it just never came together.
