Don would probably know if the car were coming up for sale, or why would he post??
As for what happened to Frank? He still posts on Pelican. He's one of the old-timers that S'oterik wonders...WHERE THEY ALL WENT?
AS for WHY he no longer posts....I'll leave that to the valuation and originality specialists to speculate on....

Frank sold his building - Paradise Garage - at Lime Rock and is culling the herd. I would not anticipate a no reserve bargain!

Frank is alive and wellI spoke with him today.I am sure RM will start promoting the sale. I do not think you can overpay for a McQueen car...

Funny but how true.....

Quite right. Ownership of the film-prop 911S for more than 36 months should dispel any talk of car-flipping. The $172M realized during Monterey Week last year was realized from the piggy banks of true enthusiasts. Milou's estimate may prove to be low, but it would be wrong to put a price on a piece of the True Cross.
The sale is not a secret. Frank is a man who made his money the hard way; nothing was given to him. He also recognizes value whereas the lemmings are chasing trends. He is a smart man. Do not sell him short.

One interesting question would be which is more valuable this car or the 69S he owned for much longer and passed on to chad-last i knew chad still owned it.
Interesting question Raj! (is it a sucker post?) I would think the Le Mans car is more valuable than the 69 car Chad still owns.
Although it had a much shorter McQueen ownership, it did receive a lot more public exposure. It is after all THE "Le Mans" 911: the movie that recorded forever McQueen's connection to Porsche...
That of course doesn't mean the 69 car isn't valuable or less desirable.....

Raj, wasn't a sucker post AT ALL. Don got it. And I believe that Frank actually posted here why he was leaving....
