I just watched the Steve McQueen movie, LeMans. For those who have not seen it, the movie was released in 1971 with shots (I'm speculating) from the LeMans race in 1970. The movie has some good vintage racing scenes but is not a great movie.

However, during the race, I spotted a C3 Corvette. This was a yellow #2. If you look up the race results for 1970, you see that the car was owned by Greder Racing. If you look at Greder racing historical pix, you don't see the yellow #2.

What's the deal? Did the car exist or not?
 
It EXISTED allright, just a question about the ownership??:clap::clap::twitch:
 
It's funny that you just watched it (Steve McQueen) I just watched bullet on blue ray.. I need to see LeMans again. About 20 years ago I threw away the poster and I believe my father got it for me from a Gulf gas station promotion. :confused: It has been a full lotta years since I have seen it.
