So Jones, will the Shelby cobras go for +1MM?

The wife had an uncle in the early 70s who was a hard hat deep sea diver (worked for a big oil company off Vietnam and Philippians). He had one.

Personally I would rather have the white 62 corvette, or the silver one. Either or both.

I would love that FJ

Ford Motor Company and the McQueen estate are donating VIN 001 of the new limited-edition 2019 Mustang BULLITT for a special charity auction benefitting Boys Republic, Steve McQueen’s own school. The BULLITT features a V8 engine that packs more than 475hp and 420 ft/lbs of torque to push the car to 163 mph max speed. Saluting the 1968 movie car, the Dark Highland Green exterior paint is complimented by subtle chrome accents, a 12" all-digital LCD instrument cluster and Recaro black leather seats (optional) with unique green accent stitching. VIN 001 will be built in mid-2018 with all available options. 100% of the hammer price will go to Boys Republic, a private, nonprofit, nonsectarian school and treatment community for troubled youngsters. Since its founding in 1907, it has guided more than 30,000 at-risk teenage boys and girls - including Steve McQueen - toward productive, fulfilling lives. **100% OF THE HAMMER PRICE TO BENEFIT BOYS REPUBLIC** **TO BE SOLD AT APPROXIMATELY 7:30 PM MST ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 2018**

That Packard is, simply, stunning.

I did 85k on the fantasy bid and i thought i was lowballing it

plenty of supercars in the 80s and 90s dont go for much. has to be something a little more iconic/rare like a 25th anniversary countach
