Steve McQueen is forever associated with Porsche thanks to that little movie Le Mans. Now, anytime something comes up for sale associated with the "King of Cool", especially something Porsche related, it gets lots of attention. Case-in-point, this 1971 911T used in the production of Le Mans. Now, don't get confused, this isn't the same …

2015 Porsche Monterey Auction Results
The best place to be, every year come mid August, is Monterey, California for Car Week. As part of that week, all of the major auctions have some pretty interesting cars for sale, and this year's offerings were spectacular. Gooding, in particular, was well worth going to. We attended the Gooding & Co. Auction this year, and were impressed with …

The major auctions in Monterey have slowly become the world standard for collector cars. Every year, more records are set during the Monterey car week auctions than any other, and this year will doubtless be more of the same. Some of the world's best cars are converging on the California coast in attempts to find new owners. Millions of dollars …

I'm always amazed when I meet a Porsche fan that hasn't seen McQueen's motorsport masterpiece, "Le Mans". You see, the bond between Steve McQeen and Porsche is as inexorable as that between him and Le Mans. That's why we've been following the progress of "Steve McQueen: The Man & Le Mans since its beginning. This epic documentary is the story of …

Porsche lore is filled with phenomenal personalities. James Dean, Steve McQueen, Jerry Seinfeld, Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen…. OK, so I have a fixation on Steve McQueen. In an era that included Paul Newman, Robert Mitchum, Charles Bronson, et al, McQueen was the "King of Cool". That’s some pretty heavy company to be king of. Part of it was the …

UPDATE: 7/28/2014 This Porsche has been withdrawn from the sale. Right now we don't have any additional details. While we did reach out to Gooding, they simply told us, "The car has been withdrawn from the sale. Gooding & Company does not comment on property withdrawn from our auctions." We'll let you know if we can get additional …

It's odd to think of David Beckham buying a replica of anything. As a Porsche fan he's in a unique position to buy almost anything he wants. Unfortunately for him, the real Steve McQueen 1969 911S (made famous in the movie Le Mans) sold at auction in 2011 for $1.375MM. However, Lee Mayor Restorations in the UK had a very well done replica available …

If you're anything like me, there's a good chance you love the movie Le Mans, but you've only ever seen it on your home television. As good as home theaters are today, it's still never seems to be quite as good as a dark and musty theater complete with sticky floors and over priced popcorn. Now, thanks to Porsche you'll have the chance (if you'll …

Back in May we wondered if the Profiles in History auction for Steve McQueen's Le Mans Memorabilia would set new pricing records. The results are in and they're actually a bit mixed. While some items sold well over auction estimates, others sold right at estimate or didn't sell at all. Price Paid for Steve McQueen's Heuer Monaco …

I have a confession to make: I am twenty-three years old and in all my life, I must admit that I really hadn’t known much about Steve McQueen, other than his leading role in “some racing movie.” What’s even worse is the fact that this is not uncommon today, at least amongst my generation. Luckily, there’s a book that shows the public (and …
