Bought for the action-superstar, Bruce Willis, by his now ex-wife Demi Moore, this 1969 Dodge Charger has since found its way to auction in the UK by way of Jay Kay of Jamiroquai.
As everyone knows before Willis there was McQueen and just as Willis made “yippee ki yay motherf—” famous made, McQueen made the ‘Bullit’ Charger an icon. Owned by Kay for the previous eight years it was purchased directly from Willis; however, it would be Kay that would do significant work to make it as close to perfect as possible.
This restoration and upgrade work would include over $30,000 being spent on the 8.2-liter engine alone in 2014. In the end Kay would sell the car at Silverstone auctions for just over $130,000 USD.
