the Porsche 917, 24 hours of Daytona winner, will be at the Friends of Steve McQueen car show at the Boys Republic tomorrow

The fifth annual Friends of Steve McQueen Car Show will celebrate the character of Frank Bullitt as portrayed by the iconoclastic actor in the movie “Bullitt” as cars, motorcycles and fans arrive for the display on the campus of The Boys Republic.

But it is the role of Michael Delaney in the classic film “Le Mans” that raises the pulse, and no race car is more identified with Steve McQueen than the legendary Porsche 917.

 This year’s show is privileged to present one example of that legendary Gulf Porsche 917K, the overall winner of the 1970 Daytona 24 Hours.

This race was the debut of the J.W. Automotive Gulf sponsored Porsches and it was a complete triumph finishing 1st and 2nd. This particular 917 completed the race with no major problems and won by a margin of forty-six laps, a record that was intact for seventeen years.

The owner of 917-015, Bruce Canepa of Scotts Valley, Ca, is passionate about all things automotive and is pleased to share this passion with other like-minded enthusiasts by entering his Porsche in the Friends of Steve McQueen Car Show.

 All proceeds from the event will benefit the Boys Republic, 1907 Boys Republic Drive, Chino Hills, CA.

Parking is free and admission is $10.00 with children under 12 free.
For those wishing to enter the car show, please visit the website for registration.

Gulf colors, Porsche 917... great looking, the 24 hr of Daytona winning 917

street legal and licensed Porsche 917 was at the Steve McQueen car show

some vehicles Steve McQueen owned were on display, and surprising me was that the GMC 4x4 was used as high school daily transportation by it's current owners kids. Think they were impressed to have a truck of Steve's?

This Fantasy Porsche Art Car was sent in by Wendy Johnson a Designer and Illustrator who happened to find ACC. Welcome to ACC Wendy and we hope that one day your fanatsy art car may one day become a reality.

Wendy's Fantasy Porsche Art Car.

Hi, I found your blog while looking for patterned car reference ... I was working on an illustration for a client. I ended up spending a good part of my afternoon looking at the pictures and links. It was great fun to sit here in my studio and laugh all afternoon, so thanks! I had to forward your link to just about all of my illustrator/designer friends.

I do a little graphic design, sometimes illustration, but mostly surface pattern design for home furnishings. I am attaching part of the illustration I made last week. It is just a fantasy art car. Maybe someday I will find the time to paint my real car.

I just just love your blog, and your car.
