    McQueen's '76 Turbo in Pano

    Haven't aquired Matt Stone's book yet but I see he did an article in the latest Pano. The article included a picture of an absolutely beautiful '76 Turbo that McQueen owned for a short time. The caption said it was his last Porsche.

    Anybody know where more info can be found on this car (until my book arrives )? It looks stunning and reinforces my belief that early Turbos are going to be the next 'boom' in 911 collecting.

    When it rains, it pours.

    I have a friend that met Steve at the Universal lot in the mid-70's. According to this guy Steve was driving a sepia brown mid 70's 911. Could this be true!

    Thanks Mike, was just curious about the car and don't want to bother the owner. Got the book (posted a short review) and was able to read a bit more about it. Eye catching car.

    I think the early (76-77) 930 have been appreciating pretty nicely over the last few years. They used to be pretty cheap.
