Steve McQueen's 1970 Porsche 911S available for purchase

I don't see it fetch even half that estimate and anyway, I'd rather have a 70/71 2.2 Targa version.

If someone put a gun to my head and forced me to buy a targa, I would get the 993 targa. The original 901 roof line is sacrosanct, IMO.

Seen your thread on Steve mcQeen although I like the Targa and owed a 914 2.0L(poor man's Porsche) I prefer his stearman. I remembered it when I worked at the Santa Paula Airport in Ca. I even detailed it, but that was 6yrs after his death. Anyways nice thread

Ha ha! Back in the day, pre-digital, cars had mechanical odometers which showed 5 full numerals (and a couple past the decimal point) which meant that 99,999.99 miles was the largest mileage you would ever see displayed. Going on past that was rare back then as metallurgy, lubrication and machining weren't as advanced as they are now - and getting past the magic 99,999 was known as going around the clock.

So here we go:
Old sports car, shagged out - once property of film star, even more shagged out. One million quid or near offer. Rich fools only need apply.

That car would look so cool with 22 inch wheels and spinny things on the hubs.

I've had a soft spot for Porches all my life. I'm just not that soft to pay that much for one, and it eems like an awful lot of money to spend to scratch an itch. She is a beauty though, and I'd absolutely love to take her for a ride.

My childhood neighbor had a beauteous 911, and he never took care of it. At the time I didn't have a license so purchasing it wasn't much of an option for me and by the time I did it was virtually worthless. What a waste.

I'm more of an american muscle car kind of guy, but it's tough not to love the old 911's. There's one sitting at a dealer I pass by regularly that has had a whale tail added and a new nose with square headlights in the airdam .........hideous. I like 'em as God intended.

LOL. I hear you. I agree, though I do like a good teasing once in a while. I remember seeing a 69 Vette on an F 250 truck frame. It had monster truck wheels and a light bar on top. God killed a few kittens the day that car was finished. Talk about REDNECK! It made the General Lee look urban.
