    '58 Speedster
    '69S
    '70S
    '76 Turbo

    Four, as I recall

    The first was a '58 Speedster, black --- bought new/raced/sold, picked-up by Bruce Meyer, then famously bought-back. Chad McQueen has it now

    Then there were the two 911s --- the '69, bought new/still with Chad, and the 'LeMans' movie-car --- both in special order grey

    The last is a '76 Turbo, grey again, floating around somewhere

    .........

    Owned by Mike Regalia. He purchased it after restoring McQueen's Lusso and selling the Ferrari at auction for mega-bucks. The Turbo was pretty reasonably priced. Nice car, too. He brought it to the Friends of Steve McQueen Car Show at Boys Republic in Chino last June and parked it near the Speedster and the slate gray '69 that Chad brought. Check out Matt Stone's book McQueen's Machines for the details -- no 912's...

    There's a mix-up on the original Steve 912 thing,

    I heard Steve bought 912 danish's for the big "Le Mans" movie after party!I could see how that little story could get mixed around. I can't answer the Steve driving a 912 tho!
