1967 Baja Boot Off-Road Racer; S/N MICH67229; Red/Black; Estimate $200,000 - $300,000; Competition restoration, 3- condition; Hammered Sold at $200,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $220,000 -- Edelbrock-Weber throttle body fuel injection. Dull paint, stone chipped fenders. Orderly and surprisingly clean but definitely has seen some use. Raced by Steve McQueen in period. Mexican 1000 and Baja 1000 veteran and raced until at least 1984, restored in the mid-90's. There is no more important off-road racer than this pioneer of the construction of specialist off-road machinery with big V8 power. Add in the McQueen history and the overall good condition and this price is something of a bargain -- if off-road is in a bidder's blood. Sold by Bonhams at Quail Lodge two years ago for $199,500, essentially the money it brought here today and a good measure of its history and appeal.
