Equipment
Chrome spoke Borrani wire wheels, Michelin XWX blackwall tires, flush mount outside mirror.
Condition
Bought new by Steve McQueen, later owned by actor Guy Williams and offered here by racer Vern Schuppan. Decapitated at one point to make a NART Spider replica, then re-headed during restoration at Ferrari Classiche. Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Orderly, nearly like new, underbody.
Market commentary
The Steve McQueen magic still works. This is at best a $4 million 4-cam, but on this day, in this place, the bidders added more than $5 million, despite the off-again, on-again roof, for the long reupholstered butt prints of Steve McQueen in the seat. Amazing.
