Re: Porsche(s) In 'Le Mans' Movie
Someone was wondering about the chassis number well it was chassis 013 a 4.5 litre 917K which was used to good effect by Steve McQueen in the film. In 1970 this car won at Sebring and Daytona and in 1971 at Monza, Austria and Barcelona.

Re: Porsche(s) In 'Le Mans' Movie
Levincer - the model you posted the link to is the one I got off eBay for this project. There may be differences between this car the movie car, but they would be very small. I'll study the movie car when my 911S model is delivered and make note of any differences. The wider headlight rings on the movie car are included in most of Fujimi's enthusiast 911 kits. I'll have to look at the video again, but Kurzheck may be right in that the movie car is a USA version. The USA version has the thicker headlight rings and the tail lights are all red instead of red and yellow, which is typical for Euro and ROW spec cars.

Tanx Again P9o1r1sche, i'm amaze with the level and quality of details i could have with all of you.
I'm French and here in France ebay is not as developped as it is in the US so for me it's pretty difficult to find Fujimi Model, except from HLJ for example. I will seek it on the web, could you give me the general ebay link you're looking @ in the us ?

Re: Porsche(s) In 'Le Mans' Movie
The slate gray 911S used in the movie was a 1970 model. Use a Fujimi 911S to build it.

Re: Porsche(s) In 'Le Mans' Movie
If you haven't got the book "McQueen's Machines" I highly suggest grabbing a copy. It has all the specs of the Porsche 911S he purchased in Europe. It also has some great pictures of the camera cars, A ford GT40 and a Porsche 917.
It also goes into great detail about the Porsche 911S and has some more great pictures of it, including the factory invoice for that car. It's a great book if you are a fan of McQueen and a fan of cars in general. That man had some fine taste in cars. Chris |

Re: Porsche(s) In 'Le Mans' Movie
If you watch the part where the number 7 Ferrari blows the doors off a white 911, pay close attention... it's actually a 911R, and not a 911S. Two 911Rs were used in the movie.
