Love the rear tires on McQueens buggy. Never seen that tread before.
...Steve McQueen sold the Corsair powered buggy to Jack Leitchke at some point in time... Jack is now deceased but his company goes on...Leitchke studio rentals...They rent period buses to the movie industry...
...Anyway my friend bought it from Jack...probably in the mid 70s???...Can’t remember what he paid for it...well my friend painted it white and sold it...think he made a $300 profit...wtf???
... I don’t remember those tires if they were on it when my friend bought it ???...

Willie thanks for the history. But is that a typo? Corsair engine? Is it that or a Corvair engine? :D
