Steve McQueen and ‘66 427 Corvette
 

Anybody know more about this car? It looks mean…

The man was definitely a “car guy” and kept interesting company through his life.

----.I blew that picture up and have it hanging right behind me in the cave. Love just taking a look at it every day! I do know that this very 66 Corvette is now in the Detroit area. Lots of rumors going around but I won't comment as my friend that owns it is fairly private.....Bill S

There's a small photo of it in McQueen's Machines. Burgundy, side exhaust, CA tag TBM 749. Can't make out the dealer on the tag frame.

His son Chad was involved with the book and said he knew nothing about it.

I’d love to see it someday, I’m sure it’s an L72.

Supposed to be a L88 mule

Isn’t the mule a different car but pic the correct car which Zora had prepared w/ an L88 for a Road Test McQueen was involved with? Sounds like McQueen loved it so kept and drove the car for a few months then returned it to GM who put a stock L72 in it before it being sold.

I may have used the wrong terminology. But I think you're right it was a white car.

Here's the white L88 mule that was shown at MCACN several years back. Awesome car.

I "think" that technically calling the Maroon car a test mule isn't out of the question.

----Quite a while ago (80's) I found a set of headers in Dennis Tracy's shop that looked exactly like the ones on the Mule. I didn't buy them, but turned Bill (another X GM employee whose last name I can't remember at the moment) and he installed them on his 67 L-88 Corvette. He also owns one of the Grand Sport Corvettes if that jags anyones memory.....Bill S

Bill Tower?

----Thank you, Tim!....Bill S

He also has a Mickey Thompson ZO6 as well!
