(FoxNews) – No one will ever be as cool as Steve McQueen, but owning his Harley- 
Davidson might be the next best thing.

McQueen’s 1938 Harley WLD Solo Sport (above) will be sold at a Mecum Auctions
event in Anaheim, California. The bike still wears its original factory paint, and its 
odometer shows 21,000 miles.

The Harley’s pedigree is fully documented, including a certificate of authenticity
from McQueen’s 1984 estate sale. It also comes with a few of McQueen’s own
tools, which were found in a frame-mounted tool box when the bike was first
sold.
