A couple of weeks ago at Elkhart, I asked Phil Remington about the actors and other dignitaries that visited the Venice shop. Phil said that many came looking but very few ever bought the cars.

In McQueen's case, he said that McQ was lent the car by Shelby to see if he wanted to buy it or not. According to Rem, he had it a couple of weeks, beat the heck out of it, and then returned it to the shop and passed on buying it. He said that was pretty typical.
