Another way of looking at this maybe,what if you owned it what would you ask and how would you market it?It's always different from the sellers perspective vs the buyers.

If i were the seller,i would probably call it a highly optioned S with a well documented history with original ownership by none other than steve Mcqueen,who's appreciation for cars and motorcycles have been well documented with books and events.It in essence is a 911S celebration of Porsche history in the early 70's.Besides ownership by Mr Mcqueen it is one of the most recognizable 911 in the 911 community and racing community due to it's cameo appearance in the opening scene in the movie "Le Mans".

To me this post is a very smart, subjective, stimulating, and easy 'shoe on the other foot' way of looking at this....

Man, if it was me, what would I say???????

Thanks Raj,

Besides the Dec. 2007 article in Excellence by Matt Stone, the article in Octane, issue # 56/Feb. 2008 by Nigel Grimshaw is an excellent supplemental reading on the history of this car.

Perspective; What is the dune buggy or the chess set from the Thomas Crown affair worth?

[M_deJong]

Mine has the embossed 2 and I'm pretty sure it was the only one issued to the car as it has the first service interval noted. Car delivered August of 1971.
