select your favorite "famous" charger

@ 1:52 , the knob of the shifter is seen ; @ 2:23 , one can see Hickman shift while driving-up that curved street :

The Charger was equipped with the 4 Speed , Track Pak and power disc brakes ; a 20:1 gear was installed in the steering gear box ("NASCAR Ratio " ) ; tyres were shaved to "Racing Depth" ; Torsion Bars were elongated for long-travel .

As far as one of the Chargers being TorqueFlite equipped : I wasn't aware of that . I know that both were destroyed in the final scene of the chase ; the first Charger overshot the gas station , so the second "backup car" had to be employed for the re-shoot , thusly destroying it in the process .

I highly recommend the remastered disc of "Bullitt" , as it contains a gang of behind-the-scenes footage of Hickman and McQueen flogging their respective cars at Sears Point ; footage of Hickman crashing-into that parked 50's Mercury ; and other great scenes
( If I had a time machine , I'd go back to '68 and "do stuff" with Jacquelin Bissette =P~ . Those black Go-Go boots , that minidress and her accent make me "excited" :tard: ).
