This is one of Steve Mcqueen's own personal cars which he bought during his time working on BULLITT. Steve absolutely loved his NART spyder until it was totalled only a couple days after purchase. So when there weren't any more available he bought the hard top version.
This is one of his lesser known cars, but don't let that detract from the fact that this is still, to this day, one of the most beautiful cars ever built.
The gavel came down on this car for $10,000,000. Sold by Vern Schuppan to an undisclosed buyer this car is guaranteed to survive the generations and keep the McQueen legend alive.
Auctioned off by RM Auctions in Monterey on August 16th 2014.

Fun fact: one of the previous owners of this car had the roof cut off and the car painted yellow. The Ferrari factory in Italy brought it back to its original condition, as when McQueen owned it.

Please never take this down. I still get goosebumps watching the last minute.
I almost fell out of my seat when I saw your video about Steve McQueen's car. I was the towtruck driver that responded to McQueen's accident on the Pacific Coast Hwy on that Sunday afternoon, when an elderly woman rear-ended him, shoving his car into the car in front of him. I had to dolly tow the car because all four tires were rubbing from the damage caused by the accident. McQueen had me tow it to a gas station on Sunset Blvd. He was really pissed. He told me it was the first time he had driven the car and had no insurance on it. I was eighteen years old and have been telling people for many years about that day and now I have proof that I was telling the truth. It should have been in early 1968.
I'm so honored that I for to be a part of making this video. It was an honor and a thrill getting to ride in this car.
Fantastic tribute. What a legend. Both the Ferrari 275 GTB/4 and the Man - Steve Mcqueen.
LOVED the music and imagery in this piece. Major thumbs up to all involved and thanks for posting.
Great editing and camera work throughout. It's refreshing to see someone who knows how to bring the cars to life. The work you've done on the Jurassic Park RV suits it as well. More run and gun but it fits. Thank you for not only the cars but for the stories as well.
Wow, amazing video. That picture of this car with Steve dressed as Bullitt with the damaged Mustang in the background was amazing. Never seen that photo before. Every video you do really blows me away. I'm gonna add your channel to my featured channels list, these videos deserve way more views! Keep the epic videos coming!
thanks! I'm glad you noticed the photo, took me a while before I noticed the mustang tail in the back of the shot. Such a cool and rare photo.
Thanks for featuring the channel, I could use all the help I can get!
Matt Maran Motoring hey Matt. Do you think you could add my channel back into your featured list? I've got a few new videos that I think you'll like. Especially the duel truck
Matt Maran Motoring, there were two identical '68 390 GT Mustangs in the Bullitt movie. One the stunt car and the other the driver show car that still exists today was it was when the movie was completed. It sold at auction for $3.47 million and will remain unrestored.
The most beautiful car i have ever seen, that colour is spectacular really shows off that beautiful pininfarina styling. Well worth the $10.175 it sold for.
Gran video!
Una joya para los aficionados al gran Mc Queen, y por supuesto a uno de los deportivos más bellos de todos los tiempos, el 275 GTB/4.
The first "modern" Ferrari. I love the 50s and 60s F1 and sports cars Ferrari made to me they are the real cars everything after is a continuation of the fairytale. I was lucky enough to have been driven in a 250 TDF and 275 single cam a 512 and driven a 308gt4 a few times till my my dying day I love Ferrari. Motto Bella regazi Forza Ferrari.
McQueen was such a cool dude, and as much as I love Bullitt, The Hunter is one of my all-time favorite movies he did.
I met Steve's relative in Corsicana Tx when I was young we went to his house when the man opened the door
I almost feinted because he was a double image of Steve I mean looked exactly like him only older...
He was so cool also and I was just a kid who was with his Mom at a funeral there. I think they took me there so
that my memory was not of something kinda scary for a child you know... I knew the lady who passed also Ruby Senor
she sang opera and was very kind to my Mother in life... I have this dictionary and when you look up cool Steve McQueen's picture is next too it... I grew up in Houston and knew someone that worked at Forrestals Ferrari and right out of high school got to ride in some of the most rare ones in the world.. I sat in George Harrisons P3 which had steering wheel in center with two seats either side the one on the anthology video.! also John Meechum had a huge private collection full race 512 bb and full race daytona which I got to ride home in.... a one of a kind Ferrari which was light silver blue with dark blue interior with matching luggage the owner told us to drive it but if we wrecked it that he would kill us.. On the way out too the meet that 512 full race boxer roared by us at about 170 on the freeway and scared us out of our skins highway patrol was chasing that one and never caught him.. came looking at the place we were going too and we had hidden that car off in a building and they could not find it...! :) I bet that made McQueen smile... Part of the getaway was filmed in San Marcos Tx at the river near the old ice factory..
Great tribute to both the car and the actor, thanks!
I came to the sunshine state in 1976. Before coming I saw an advertisement for a mid- to late '60s 275 GTB. I remember very accurately how I felt about the shape and aura of this motorcar. It was listed for $12,500.... But at that time and age in my life it just as well may have been $125,000 in early '70s dollars. Suffice it to say that I had to pass. But had I known what the prices would be in the future, I would have somehow made it mine. It's still as beautiful as I remember it, but infinitely more dollars to possess. Long live the 275GTB!
My grandfather had one of these (San Jose). I think he bought in '70 or '71. I was lucky enough to drive it in 1982 for about one hour, and spent many more hours in it on the weekends. He also had a '73 or '74 365.
What a great story, thank you for sharing! As a teen, I grew into manhood watching Steve McQueen movies and yes, his style and macho charisma had an impact on my development. The Western World is in desperate need of positive male role models such as he!
I wish this channel had the videos longer that my only complaint they too short! Love to see a entire documentary sometimes. CHEERZ!
Beautifully done.
So amazing and beautiful car! It's a masterpiece. Love it. Forza Ferrari!!!
Amazing film! Makes me want to drop everything and go hunt for the missing Bullitt mustang
I am amazed these videos aren't more popular that what they are now
Bullitt was the first movie I paid to see (don't ask). I was in high school in Woodstock IL (yeah Groundhog Day). After the movie every guy who had a good car (hey Paul Zimmerman) went out and burned rubber all over the place. Great day!
Amazing work.
Great video and editing!
Beautiful video.
You sir are an amazing creator and artist. Thank you!
What a dream car!
Love your series and I can't believe there are not more followers/views... This was a great episode from a filmmaking standpoint. Great shots and the editing was excellent. But this episode - for me - was less AficionAUTO and more AficioMcQueen.
Great video!
You know it was Paul Newman who actually had real success in racing as an actual driver. But Steve McQueen, James Garner and Paul Newman were all very active in racing road racing.
Wonderful car none prettier since Wonderful story Great guys Steve was something special missed not forgotten
THE ITALIAN SONOROUS SOUNDS OF ITALIAN MOTORS I ENJOYED IN MY DUCATI 250 DIANA. I'M IN MY 1964 YEARBOOK WITH ALL THE CATHOLIC GIRLS CHECKING US OUT. AT 73 I NOW ENJOY MY RED VERMILION BMW 128I .I'D DRIVE A 1960'S FERRARI IF I COULD AFFORD ONE. BUT I DON'T LOVE MY BMW ANY LESS.GOD BLESS YOU STEVE . A ROGUE. A MAN'S MAN.A FUN PERSON TO RIDE BIKES WITH .I LOVE ELSINORE LAKE ALSO
How about doing one on the Cooper S, that Lee Brown did for the king of cool.
Steve McQueen also had a green Ferrari 2+2 hardtop from that same era that sold for something around $6 million, right?
Hello, I love this video, the camera setting is perfect and the soundtrack is amazing ! Could someone give me the soundtrack starting at 6:09 ?!
Great video! I feel like each video is better than the last. One request, I must know the soundtrack, please!
Does it still have the plywood sign from the races in the trunk?
Such a gorgeous machine, the Ferrari 275 GTB/4, iconic masterpiece, Scuderia Ferrari
wicked
Amazing!!!.
James Coburn convinced him to buy a Ferrari.
Steve McQueen wanted his cars to meet his expectations or be made to meet his expectations. No compromises allowed.
It's amazing to me that his Ferrari 275 GTB/4 restored by Ferrari in Italy, sold for only $10 million dollars (with commission) while his tiny little Rolex watch, Daytona model sold for $18 million dollars, a watch that he had given away to an associate, he hardly ever even wore it, It was engraved however. What the F***!!!!
Meanwhile in Africa... don't get me wrong, I love this car and I'm a car enthusiast too. I drive a powerful one. But still, you can't help but think...meanwhile in Africa...
What's the name of the song at 1:10?
The dream
The song in 6:09 is calles Rise from Tony Anderson feat. Salomon Litgthelm.
At times, the 'overpowering' music spoils what is a great video.
❤❤
6:08
Yeah I didn't know anything about him at all....till I won my first road race at Pocono raceway 2.56 full course I got 50 bucks from Yamaha gift certificate and a video called ON ANY SUNDAY and there's was basically some home movies with Steve talked about his racing motorbike and racing Me Mans type Porsches,an his movie Le Mans....so at that point I thought he was the coolest person....and what he did for Mert Lawwell the dirt track racer in the movie let me know he was a good guy decent person....I still only know a little about his movies there were a lot...so I got work to do...THANKS
England had James Bond and we had Steve McQueen who was the real deal, not just an actor playing a roll, no disrespect to Sean Connery intended!
Beautiful car. Amazing.
but I'd rather have the Mustang lol
He was just a Man and that's just a car but a very nice car.
Someone should track down the fellow who ran into into his NAART, now that be an interesting back story to know what was MacQueen's reactions.
It would have been nice if you had dropped the music when the car was running SO WE COULD HEAR THE CAR!
Only original Once Is there anything in the cars interior engine or paintwork that steve mcqueen used Or is it as. New condition . Or is it just the number plate that's original ?? A Shame
If you "pass" everyone, then who needs a rear view mirror anyway!
wow magnificent - shame about the music, just let the engine be the music - Grayman49
Grahame Berry watch this video. It has what you need. th-cam.com/video/NDjQH0RbuWE/w-d-xo.html
While these films are nice enough, I can't for the life of me understand why it is that the people making the movie drown out the sound of the engine with music. On cars like these, the only music needed is the sound of that engine racing up and down through the gears...
Sadly from 2030 on all the combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in EU :-( In Germany the Green party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one single state operated station per city. :-(
Rick Haririson Would;d offer $100k and chum' half chewed doritto
It would bet tough to sell , it will sit around and it takes alot of spcace
Sharon Tate also owned a red 1967 Ferrari....and McQueen and her were close friends.
Jerry Seinfeld owns this car.
pompom11 really?? he's the one who bought it?? how do you know?
theAFICIONAUTO Wayne on Chasing Classic Cars talked about it on his show. It's the most valuable Ferrari on earth.
Do you have a link to the article?
theAFICIONAUTO It was mentioned on his TV show on Velocity, not written in a publication that I know of. I'd like to know more about it myself. The episode was not a current show pretty sure a re-run of an older show.
pompom11 this isn't the most valuable ferrari unless it sold for 50 mill
Seems a nice vid, but sorry, really bad sound mastering!
Not a lot of the car and what the car is. 99% of the content is about McQueen!
Abdulrhman Bahashwan the whole point is the story of the legend not the car. The car is a way to tell his story. You want to know about a 275 just go to Petrolicious. We're about human stories here at tA. Cars are a way to learn about each other through a shared passion.
