Rusty Shackleford Thanks that gave me some solace. I based my comments after seeing these still shots in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aJ6Czq6nY5qrZ7g.html I’m all about authenticity but IMO preservation even on small budget should have been applied. Then again I’m not sitting on $3million drinking my coffee this morning! ;-)

a standing ovation for a car. pretty awesome.

Well Steve, you may be gone but your car lives on.

I wish someone had a cell phone to document this moment in time. " SOMEONE PAY 3.395.000 FOR A 5K CAR" And Dana Mecum makes another cool 680k or dollars based on 10% buyers and seller premium for 11 minutes of work.. MAKING HIM ONCE AGAIN THE SMARTEST MAN IN THE ROOM.

and if it turns out that the buyer is Jay Leno, Kris Zollner, or Chad Mcqueen, that makes the now former owner the stupidest guy in the room.

I hope it's now restored to it's original condition and we get to see it every once in a while... For those of us in our 60's who went to that movie when it first came out and have rewatched it over the years...it feels like a family member....

That car will and should not ever be restored , it will devalue if it’s restored

This brings a tear to my eye.. just look at the crowd.. the excitement… something’s been lost and we seem despite to find it again… to regain it like we regained this lost mustang. We can’t bring the era or Steve McQueen back… but that mustang looks awesome!!

Hi Dad was the one that turned McQueen's offer down, and for many years refused to let it see the light of day. Something changed

Mecum? Sounds like a good name for a Nevada brothel...

I have Steve's underwear he was wearing when he drove it for sale, the stain in the back is the same color as the car. Starting bid is $3500

Would have brought way more at Barrett Jackson. Those guys know how to bring big money for special cars.

No amount of money would have made me sell that car..

A Super Star ⭐️ just rolled into the room 😍

Worth every penny!!

I am hoping (no pun) it goes to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn. Congrats to the seller!

LEGENDARY....Nothing toyota Ever Makes Would NEVER EVER Be This ICONIC

I was 10 when that movie came out, fell in love with that car the 1st time I saw it!

My God...the sound of that Mustang brought tears to my eyes...

Best car chase in my city of San Francisco!

It's still fun to watch the Charger/Mustang flying through the San Francisco streets - especially if I turn the sound up.

If you don’t get chills when he starts it up there’s something wrong with you!!

That's NOT the car that was in the famous jump scenes. Thats the "hero"' car that was in the movie, but not the real deal chase scene.

Your right. The actual chase car would be full of dents and I believe wound up in a junk yard. Too bad. Because even heavily damaged it would still be worth at least as much as this car because it was the actual chase car.

Wild Bill It was found in Mexico before this one. It’s being restored.

I'm a gearhead that dates back to the 1968 movie. The aspect I always marveled about, in that movie, was how the brakes on both cars held up during the chase scenes on the hilly streets of San Francisco. The drum brakes of that era were notorious for fading quickly under heavy braking; as the brake shoes would 'glaze over' when overheated. That chase scene should have lasted no more than 90 seconds before brake fade would have had both cars lose control and crash. I've shared the above with other gearheads familiar with 1960s automotive technology, and they were in agreement.

I fully agree 😁 I've always thought this too. Although my '67 Mustang has discs on the front, and the lighter 6 cylinder engine, the brakes will not handle hard use. The European cars I have owned in the past (mainly 1970s models) were not so bad but you of course still have to be on your toes. In todays traffic, driving along at normal speeds, drivers in modern cars accelerate and brake so hard (playstation generation). this means you really have to be fully alert driving an old car like this, as an emergency braking scenario can be scary! With that in mind, it's a wonderful thing to drive 😊😊

@@tejsgarageuk2830 It's great to know of someone that has an appreciation for brakes. And thanks for enlightening me about the connection of playstations to aggressive driving. I've always wondered why a driver, with a red-light ahead, is compelled to drive at full speed until braking at the last second. I'm fairly light on the brakes with my vehicles, as my first car was a 1967 VW Beetle; with brake shoes that were more suited for go-karts than for road-going vehicles. My current pickup truck that has 92K miles/148K km, is on its second set of front brake pads, but the rear brake shoes are original and still has several millimeters of life left in them. Ah! But the truck is also a manual shift; which in the US it is a means of being an anti-theft device; as auto-transmission trucks are more appealing for theft.

@@bloqk16 😊👍 Yes it's just how modern cars are so capable, that younger drivers (I passed my driving test in 1994) don't know any different because cars have advanced so much. I always run old - ish cars, but we usually have a modern one for my Wife. Currently this is a Toyota GT86, and I also own a 1998 Mercedes E55 AMG so can understand why some people drive like that, not that I agree with it 😁. It's also not having mechanical sympathy for a car that you treasure, and maintain yourself (as you and I do) as most cars on the road in the UK tend to be new leased cars, so people don't car about the wear and tear they inflict on them. The manual Truck sounds fun 👍😊 us Gearheads (or Petrolheads in the UK, as Gearhead over here can mean a drug addict 😅) are in the minority in the motoring population.

It's amazing that much cool remains in that car after so many years and all because Steve McQueen drove the hell out of it more than 50 years ago. He'd be in his nineties today, imagine how great it'd feel to see all this attention now, R.I.P. always remembered.
