Easily among the top ten westerns...
Steve could sing...and he is not just an "acktor"..any more than JMB was just a gunsmith..

I just saw the end of Mecum Auction Top 10 Porche sales.
Top seller? Steve McQueen's 930 Turbo.
1.95 million
This was circa 2015. No idea what it would go for now.

Yeah, I still play the real (Glen's) version once in a while on YouTube. I'm not sure, but I think we lost Glen in '19 or '20. I was pretty young when that movie (and song) came out. I suppose Steve may have sung it, but I don't think his voice made him much cash!
WOW.
The one I was referring to was a 911 variant.
The movie car, that's a rarefied atmosphere for sure.
"That's Paul Newman, not Steve McQueen."
Boy....did I ever space out...!! Ha!!
They are oh so similar in my mind...which lately is spinning..!
First time I saw Steve McQueen was in the movie "On any Sunday" ..Had Malcolm Smith it it too.
Didn't know who Steve was but MS was a hero to me. I was riding a Husqvarna 250WR about that time. Made a big impression on me...

yes, the '76 930 turbo was his personal car
Lol...I do the same thing! McQueen was a decent dirt bike rider as well. I'll bet most folks (at least those not into off-road/MX) have no idea who Malcom Smith is. The movie 'On Any Sunday' was a cool flick. Husky bikes were/are top shelf bikes. Bultaco, Maico, Hodaka, Penton, and a few other 'non' Japanese' built bikes were all main contenders back in the 70's.

Very popular tune around 1965. Glenn Yarbrough was pretty much a folk singer as I remember.

When I was a young teenager in the late 1960's I was really into dirt bike riding. Malcolm Smith & Steve McQueen used to ride in the same foothills where a group of my classmates and I did. We all knew who they were, some of my friends had purchased bikes from Malcolm Smith's shop in Riverside CA and I can remember going there with a friend to buy some parts.
On the occasion when Smith & McQueen were spotted, we would race after them wanting to claim that we "rode with" Smith & McQueen. Of course we never could catch up with them with our little 100cc and 125cc bikes ! And I think they were having good fun with us trying to keep up with them.
Would have been great if they'd had McQueen in both pictures...................oh, wait

When I had my Harley some 25 years ago I rode a bit with his son Chad. He invited a bunch of us to his beach house in Malibu that he inherited from his dad. Lots of old bikes and some classic cars in the garage...but no Bullit Mustang sad to say.
Sip—I read an article somewhere they found it at a junkyard, I believe in Mexico. I believe someone had it redone.
