His legacy on film was cemented with Bullitt and Le Mans–the first made him an international superstar while the latter nearly bankrupted and killed him. Today, they’re among his most popular films. He held nothing back on screen or in life, and today he is remembered and revered not only for his acting but for his racing prowess and the world-class automobile and motorcycle collection he amassed in a relatively short amount of time. Vehicles once owned, driven, or raced by “The King of Cool” habitually sell for double or triple what their provenance- lacking counterparts do.

His parents hooked him on internal combustion when they had a jump seat installed in the back of their 1966 Sting Ray coupe so that a baby seat could be secured. During his time at American Iron, he wrote American Iron Magazine Presents 1,001 Harley- Davidson Facts, which was published by CarTech Books in 2017. He followed that up in 2018 with The Corvette Hunter: Kevin Mackay’s Greatest Corvette Finds, which was a joint effort with longtime friend and world-class Corvette restorer Kevin Mackay. His latest CarTech project, 1,001 Steve McQueen Facts is his biggest undertaking yet, combining his love of both cars and motorcycles, and his fascination with The King of Cool himself.
