McQueen's Rare Ferrari Hits Auction Block
18 Sep
Summary
- A rare 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4S NART Spider owned by Steve McQueen is up for auction.
- Only 10 NART Spiders were ever built, making this model exceptionally coveted.
- The car is estimated to sell for USD 15 million to USD 20 million at auction.
A 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4S NART Spider, once owned by Hollywood legend Steve McQueen, is scheduled to be auctioned in New York. This exceedingly rare vehicle, one of only ten manufactured, carries an estimated price tag of USD 15 million to USD 20 million.
McQueen purchased the Ferrari new for USD 15,000. After receiving it in late 1967, he had it customized, including a repaint to a darker blue. The car famously appeared in his 1968 film, 'The Thomas Crown Affair.'
Adding to its allure, this specific NART Spider is one of only two finished in the striking 'blue sera' color. Its history also includes a notable rear-end collision shortly after McQueen took possession, requiring repairs and repainting.
The auction, happening in New York City from November 20 to 21, not only highlights this unique Ferrari but also renews attention on McQueen's profound connection to automobiles and motorsports.
