Post Steve McQueen and LeMans

What model was the 911 that Steve was riding in the opening scene of the movie? I just watched the flick. It is a shame that Porsche has lost that competitive edge. I hope that after the Euro dollars fill up the pockets of the powers that be, they will decide on going back into racing.

I bought a car that looks very close to that car. Mine is a '70 911 T coupe which is now a pewter metallic grey color. I'd bet his was an "s" though.

Funny, I was pondering this purchase when I saw that movie on Speedvision for the very first time a couple months ago on Speedvision.

Arthur,

McQueen's car was (is) a gray 1970 911S that his son, Chad, still owns.
