Wonder what that car is worth?

I met Chad McQueen driving this very car back in 2011. He was gassing up in Palm Desert CA. I was in my 2008 Mustang Bullitt. After some conversation he signed the dash of my Bullitt.
I spotted him several more times in his old man's grey 911. I guess he was spending some winter days in the low desert warmth.

McQueen lived up the canyon from me when I was a little tyke, would stop and say hi and let me ogle his cars, although he may have moved before he got that one, I don't remember it. I was clearly born a "car guy" and he probably saw that in my eyes. Fond memories. Never met Chad, he probably was about my age and grew up early up the canyon, someday will have to visit him at the local annual McQueen gathering.
