To date, RM has auctioned off 199 vehicles priced over one million dollars. And here’s number 200.
Tonight in Monterey, RM Auctions put Steve McQueen’s 1970 Porsche 911S on the block and after a starting bid of $200,000 the Porsche’s price shot up to over one million before slowly coming to rest at $1.1m. Then $1.15, $1.2 and finally $1.25 million.
The 911, seen in the opening scenes of the racing epic, LeMans, was McQueen’s personal car throughout the filming and has racked up a total of 112,000 miles over the last 41 years. We don’t know who the final bidder was, but we do know she’s here in the States, despite several overseas bids.Steve McQueen’s 1970 Porsche 911S goes for $1.25 million at RM originally appeared on Autoblog on Sat, 20 Aug 2011 01:47:00 EST.
