    Awesome, beautiful car.

    You get all the fun! Something Meg's would not let you do. I'm happy you get to do all of this. I bet you are grinning ear to ear.

    AJ is awesome, watched her on Overhaulin' My favorite episode when she was the team leader and Chip was the host. Great car. Then Chip made the AJ license plate gizmo and she teared up, I think I did too.

    With our water restrictions, rain and snow. I haven't been able to do squat this year!

    Keep up the good work!

    I can't believe it's only valued at $129k. That's a steal for such a rare car.

    I think you're reading the info in the picture I posted incorrectly. Here's the picture,





    Where it says,

    Price when new $18,500

    That's the price when the car was new expressed in the dollar value in that time or back in 1967.



    Where it says,

    ($129,000 Today)

    That means what $18,500 would be in today's dollars. Not what the car would sell for on the market today. The information I have states that the Steve McQueen 1956 Jaguar is valued at $30,000.000.00 or thirty million dollars.


    Make sense?




    You'll see the same thing expressed in the placard I took a picture of for the Steve McQueen car.

    Very cool Mike! Is this the same car the Jay drove on a recent 'Jay Leno's Garage' episode?

    Thanks Mike for clearing that up. Got hasty with my post while my kids were at my feet.

    What an amazing opportunity! That car is fairly priceless - I would imagine 8 figures. They are truly beautiful in all forms, even the Superformance cars and the throwback Ford GT.

    I saw an episode of I don't recall what exactly but they got to drive the SS basically around the top of the Petersen Garage, and they weren't just crawling. I was cringing, but you have to respect that they will run these priceless cars, no matter how carefully. Seeing them on a track is exhilarating, though!
