Steve McQueen getting in his very cool 1966 Corvette Stingray 427 Coupe

December 15, 2022

The man and his toys… here is actor Steve McQueen hopping into his slick ride: a 1966 Corvette Stingray 427 Coupe. Steve McQueen rose to fame throughout the counterculture of the 1960s, and soon became the highest paid actor and the biggest box-office draw of the 1960s and 1970s. He was also a race car driver and car collector, in fact, one of his best-known films is Bullitt. Bullitt is legendary for having one of the big screen’s all-time best car chase scenes in history!

Regarding McQueen’s review of this particular beast, he is pictured with here, the King of Cool wrote: “I was very impressed by the Corvette. Other than the Ferrari, it was the best car I drove at Riverside. And let’s face it, it went out the door at $ 5,500 instead of $ 14,000.” h/t >
