Didn’t it disappear years ago after Steve McQueen unsuccessfully tried to buy it in the late 70’s?

It was sold to a secretary in the film production office then the sellers father I believe.

It's been known of but kept low profile, it was the stunt car that was lost track of soon after filming finished until the guy accidentally found out he'd bought it after applying for a "Marti report" ( a certificate of authenticity via fords production records) confirmed it.

It's going to be restored as it was little more than a shell.

Let's hope this one is going to be preserved rather than restored.
