Twice-signed partly-printed DS, one page, 8.5 x 11, April 26, 1975. A vehicle entry form for the 1975 CAMA Rally (The Classic and Antique Motorcycle Association) that has been partially filled out in black felt tip by Steve McQueen, who adds his name (“Steve McQueen”) and address (“7134 Sunset, L.A., Calif., 90069”) to the upper portion, with another hand in green felt tip adding McQueen’s motorcycle, “1923 Indian.” McQueen has signed and dated at the conclusion. In fine condition, with some light creasing, and minor smudging to a couple of words. McQueen remains coveted across all signed formats, with examples related to his legendary ‘need for speed’ all the more rare and desirable. A terrific twice-signed document representing McQueen’s motorcycle connection—his famous jump in The Great Escape remains one of the most iconic stunts in cinema history.
McQueen famously owned a 1923 Indian Big Chief 1,200cc motorcycle with a Princess sidecar that he had restored in 1969 by Von Dutch, the acclaimed artist, mechanic, and automobile customizer Kenny Howard. The Indian Big Chief was a first-year example of the engineering and manufacturing expertise that propelled Indian to the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world by the early 1920s. The Big Chief was sold at the Steve McQueen estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas on November 26, 1984, and then again at Bonhams in 2014 for $126,000.
