There’s a somewhat interesting story behind this car, having been sold to a Warner Bros employee when the movie was released and McQueen trying to buy it off them.

But at the end of the day it broke all previous Mustang records and went for $3.4 million. What would you rather have - this, or 650 Miatas?

I’d rather have one Miata (I’ll take an RF, if that’s not too blasphemous) and a few million in cash.

Record for a mustang.

I kind of hope it was a fan who bought it not just someone who thought it would be a good investment, not that it really matters.

I’m definitely with mutual fund guy. I’m a pretty boring person here, though I’d have my Miata to play with (though I’ll promise not to get it as an automatic, even though I am an automatic transmission apologist).

I was at Mecum a few days ago, managed to get a pic of it in person. So cool:

I think that car had a limited-slip differential or a trac loc. Can’t be sure, tho.

That picture says “Badass.”

Seems insane, but a million dollars aint what it used to be, and this is arguably the most famous movie car in history, certainly the most famous movie chase car, driven by a legend in an unforgettable film , so as Keith Martin would say, well bought and well sold.
