Two McQueen motorbikes + his leather flight jacket and rifle up for auction

As part of it's annual auction at the Petersen Automotive Museum, Bonhams and Butterfields will be auctioning off two motorbikes once owned by Steve McQueen. The first, a 1970 Kawasaki G31, which was handpainted by Steve's close friend and famed pinstriping artist Von Dutch. The second, a 1929 Scott 596cc Super Squirrel which was restored by Von Dutch and given to McQueen as a gift.

Other significant pieces of the McQueen legacy up for auction will be Steve's leather aviator jacket, which he wore when flying his planes in the late 70's, and a Winchester Model 94 lever action carbine which was a part of his large firearm collection.

Also of interest to movie star and bike enthusiasts will be a 1934 Harley-Davidson RL formerly owned by Clark Gable.

Bonham's annual auction at the Petersen is renowned for combining the best of the motoring world with that of popular culture, and another highlight this year will be an extensive collection of original Von Dutch items.

The auction will be held on Saturday, November 10th at 11:00 a.m. The Petersen Museum is situated at 6060 Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. To register to bid - remotely or in person - and to purchase illustrated catalogs, go to www.bonhams.com/us
