You'd have to be a heck of a McQueen fan to pay that much ...

This is the actual bike which is being auctioned on ebay:

Why not show the actual article that is being sold, instead of a
completely
different motorcycle used in a movie?

I'm not confused. Showing a different motorcycle from the one they are
selling is called "false advertising" or, at least it's "bait and
switch".

Nobody in their right mind would pay $37.1K USD for a 250cc BSA
single, but the Triumph 650 TT Special that Bud Ekins actually jumped
the fence in "The Great Escape" would probably be worth that amount of
money.
