The guy closed out the auction

It's too bad this same eBay seller didn't think to get Steve McQueen to autograph the Chevron Aviation sign also being sold right now. Might have made it worth $10,000 or even more:

The seller seems to have a talent for writing a good story. John

Steve McQueen did have a hanger in Santa Paula..

Design might be early, BUT I'd bet the sign was made just a few years ago.

Have no idea WHO he is or which hanger is his.

I found two bases just like this one. Is there any chance they are real.

220962335117 Price has been lowered to $6995 from $7500!
I'm thinking it might be worth $500 for paint job!

I had a hard time convincing the seller it was a REPRO before it was listed on eBay. Great guy but had a never ending story to sell it as an original.

I dont even have to paste that number.....that guy has been peddling that ship for awhile

...if they are exactly like the one pictured, no...there's no reason to have all of that info on a base - the only reason the bases were marked was to designate them as property of the advertiser...
