Looking for a 289 picture with Steve McQueen

[dkp_cobra]

Hi,
   
   this weekend I say a picture of a 289 with open bonnet and a Steve McQueen benning over the engine bay. In the background on the other street side there is a Chevrolet dealer. Does anybody know this picture?
   
   I do not think of this one here:

It is in the "McQueen's Machines" and I have seen it elsewhere. Remember, Google is your friend!!
   
   Also remember, Steve never actually BOUGHT a Cobra, he just "test drove" them!!!!

Hi Mark IV,
   
   Google is my best friend (I found the above picture via Google) but I didn't find the picture I am looking for.
   
   The search teached me that McQueen never owned a Cobra nevertheless it is a really nice picture of Mr. Cool and it would look great in my garage []
   
   Regards, Peer

Perhaps you're thinking of a different British vehicle []

Do you really need SPURS to control such few Horses.
   
   Bet they play havoc on the carpet or ali floor panels.
   
   Last but not least.... ..... Quite a weapon strapped to his leg!
   
   Could only be Steve McQueen.  []

Just a little maintenance on his XK SS while filming his TV show "Wanted Dead or Alive" (OR maybe he's cooking lunch!)
   
   The sidearm is a sawed off Winchester carbine he used on this show rather than the normal six shooter. Gave him 12 shots rather than 6 to get the bad guys?
   
   Now I'm showing my age. I believe the XK was in an auction within the last couple years.

McQueen's XKSS is currently owned by the Petersen Museum in L.A., I believe. Nice car, have seen it inperson at several shows.
   
   And I used to love his show!

   Think I might be treating myself to that for Christmas!

   This one contains the above picture and some thoughts of Mr. Cool about Vettes and Cobras, Aston Martin and Jags.
