I see auction results show that the Ferrari Lusso belonging to the "King of Cool" brought over $2 million. Typically, a Lusso in comparable condition would bring $6-7-800,000. So this Ferrari brought three-to-four times its normal value because it was onced titled to Steve McQueen? I know that some intrinsically valuable and renowned Ferrari and Porsche models, usually with racing credentials, bring more money and generate more general interest than a run-of-the-mill production model. However, "celebrity" status somehow confirs additional merit to a models' value, kinda like Babe Ruth's Packard, Dean Martin's Lincoln, Sinatra's Cadillac, Goering's M-B, or Cher's Harley. With that said, anyone know of anyone "famous" who has owned a 914? I can think of only one Hollywood type who has owned a 914. Anybody in the sports world, political arena, movie industry, or music field owned one of our humble cars? Probably not many, if any at all, 'cause of the 914s rather humble presence. Not exactly a Gullwing, Miura, or Daytona for generating excitement and hysteria among the adoring masses, is it?
