In June of 1971, with an estimated budget of $7.6 million and another $2 million spent on promotion, Le Mans was released. Behind the scenes, the film had cost McQueen even more: his marriage, his production company, and many friendships. The film failed to earn back its cost, having gone close to $1.6 million over-budget, and McQueen didn’t attend the premiere.
Despite this, Le Mans became a cult film over time. McQueen had wanted to make more of a documentary than a traditional Hollywood blockbuster; with its meticulous attention on the race and the cars, rather than the drivers and drama, Le Mans is one of the most exciting and realistic racing movies ever made – the ultimate racing movie.

Here's an engine rarely seen since they were only ever designed and intended to be disposable. This is the 4 cylinder radial engine from a WWII German G7A torpedo. It ran on Decaline fuel (decahydronaphthalene), which was first burned. The combustion byproducts were then passed through a device called a 'wet heater', which also introduced water (from a 57L onboard storage tank) to produce superheated steam. This high pressure mixture of superheated steam and compressed air was finally sent through the engine to drive the pistons.
Since the internal combustion/steam generator system was self-contained and fueled by a chemical reaction instead of ambient air, it could run underwater. The 4 cylinder, 'X' type radial engine produced up to 350 horsepower at its maximum power setting, which was enough to push the 26',6" torpedo (the length of a large Uhaul moving van for comparison purposes) along at nearly 50mph while submerged.

"We went to the Petersen Automotive Museum today to see the Porsche exhibit, and the museum in general. It's such a beautiful venue if you love cars and motorcycles.

While there, I came across Steve McQueen's gorgeous Turbo. I knew that car very well, since my dear friend Dean Paul Martin bought it after McQueen owned it. It's a legendary car among Porsche enthusiasts. I rode in that car more times than I can count, and even drove it a few times myself. It made me happy and, yes, a little sad to see it today. Lots of fond memories with Dean. He was the most wonderful guy".

He exhibited the torch at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair and started Harris Calorific in 1905. Harris continued to refine its gas torches and started manufacturing related accessories, including gas pressure regulators.

When you needed a new Ford flathead #engine back in the day,#Sears kept Allstate rebuilt motors in stock. You would pull in, and they would swap out your old engine for a new one. This was also done by Ford dealers and Western Auto. As well as a number of other lesser known companies. Which furthers the chances, you do not have the original #motor. Because back then, no one cared until the 60s. They just wanted to get back on the road. This reduced rebuild time from a few weeks, down to a few days or less.
