Here is another car that McQueen was refused. This was inherited by a customer of mine who put the proceeds into a trust that supports various charities.

Somehow people saying they wouldn't take cr@p off Steve McQueen is funny. I liked his response, haha.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
