McQueen’s 1963 Classic Ferrari's...250GT like money in the bank
Not unlike Steve McQueen’s 1963 Ferrari 250GT, James Coburn’s 1961 Ferrari 250GT California Spyder recently established a new auction record for a vintage car when it sold for $10,894,900. McQueen’s Ferrari sold last August, garnering twice as much as was predicted, selling for $2.3 million.
As it turns out, McQueen may have had some influence on Coburn's taste in fast cars. McQueen not only owned that Ferrari 250GT Lusso, but he also had a 1953 Siata 208S, a 1958 Porsche Speedster 1600 Super, a 1957 Jaguar XK-SS and a Ferrari 275 GTS/4 NART Spyder. Between 1959 and 1960, Coburn co-starred with McQueen in three episodes of "Wanted Dead or Alive". They would go on to be friends for life, starring together in "The Magnificent Seven" in 1960 and "The Great Escape" in 1963.
