The vintage MercedesBenzUSA is currently sitting at $46,000, with 10 days left on Bring a Trailer's online auction.
This particular Benz was imported to the US in 1972 and titled to McQueen’s film company Solar Productions. It was driven by the late, great American actor until he died in 1980, after which it cycled through a few dedicated collectors.
The rarity was eventually sent to Kienle Automobiltechnik in Germany in 2012 for a year-long refurbishment that cost €125,000 . The exterior was refinished in the original black paint, while the suspension and brakes were refreshed. Under the hood, the 6.3-liter M100 V-8 features Bosch mechanical fuel injection and is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Kienle revamped the engine bay, too, welding the cracks on the underbody and replacing various hoses, fuel lines and gaskets. The car rides on Silver 14-inch Bundt alloy wheels with Vredestein Sprint Classic tires.Inside, you can expect front bucket seats with headrests and a rear bench in black upholstery.
The current owner reportedly only added 1,000 miles to the odometer, and today the mint-condition classic is presented with 81,000 miles.
