1938 Harley-Davidson WLD<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A motorcycle once owned and ridden by Steve McQueen will be among the headline offerings at the 2013 Mecum Anaheim auction, scheduled for November 21-23 at the Anaheim Convention Center in California.
\nAs the highest paid actor of his time, McQueen is best remembered for his roles in movies like \u201cThe Great Escape,\u201d \u201cThe Getaway,\u201d \u201cBullitt\u201d and \u201cThe Thomas Crown Affair.\u201dIn addition to his acting career, McQueen was an avid motorcycle and automotive enthusiast and a participant in off-road motorcycle racing. By the time of his death in 1980, McQueen had built up a personal collection of more than 100 classic rides.
\nWhile a part of McQueen\u2019s vast motorcycle collection, this 1938 Harley-Davidson WLD (Lot S138.1) is more than just one of a hundred, it\u2019s one that McQueen actually rode. The original and unrestored motorcycle was sold at the 1984 Steve McQueen estate sale at the Imperial Palace Hotel in Las Vegas. This Solo Sport edition features a Silver Tan and Sunshine Blue paint scheme and shows just 21,000 miles on its odometer. McQueen\u2019s documented ownership will accompany the sale in addition to his personal tools found wrapped in a piece of denim in the frame-mounted tool box.
\n\u201cThere\u2019s a big difference between a bike that McQueen owned and bike that McQueen rode,\u201d commented Mecum Auctions\u2019 Founder and President Dana Mecum.
\nThis piece of McQueen history will cross Mecum\u2019s auction block on Saturday, November 23, 2013 in Anaheim. Doors to the event open each day at 8 a.m. and portions of all three days of the auction will be broadcast live on Discovery\u2019s Velocity Network. Mecum\u2019s website is updated daily with the latest consignments including detailed descriptions and photographs of the vehicles.
\nFor more information or to register as a bidder, visit www.mecum.com<\/a> or call (262) 275-5050.<\/p>\n
