Equipment
336 GMC V8. Reportedly the favorite of Steve McQueens vehicles, Hydramatic, radio, heater, turn sigls, wheel covers, wide whitewalls, single 4 barrel on an Offenhauser intake manifold. A truck that McQueen used and enjoyed and it shows the use and age. Decent paint, chrome, interior and wood bed floor. Dirty and aged underhood. A usable pickup.
Market commentary
This truck was proudly adorned with Steve McQueens prefered vanity plate, MCQ3188, his number from his tenure at Junior Boys Republic Reform School in Chino when it was sold at Bonhams sale of McQueen memorabilia and vehicles in November 2006 for $128,000. The plate appears to have remained with the seller, who should however harbor no delusions that its worth the $48,000 that was left on the table in this set of transactions. Even without the plate this is a fabulously expensive GMC pickup.
