Two Husqvarna motorcycles previously owned by late actors Steve McQueen and Dennis Hopper, are going to be auction at the Mecum Auction that will take place at the Barker Hangar, Santa Monica, California on the 26th and 27th of July 2013.
McQueen’s motorcycle is a 1971 Husqvarna 400 Cross, that the King of Cool used in racing competitions and for off-road riding, and is the same model that appeared in the movie ‘On Any Sunday’, and that McQueen was pictured riding shirtless on the iconic cover of Sports Illustrated.
The two-stroke bike underwent a year long restoration process in 2012 to restore it to its original beauty.
Dennis Hopper’s 1968 Husqvarna 250T Commando is a true collectors item, as it is one of the only 300 Commandos that were ever produced by Husqvarna, and this is the first time that one of Hopper’s motorcycles (the actor passed away in 2010) has been offered at auction, and this machine has also undergone restoration.
