Steve's 'Stang ended up in several piecesDespite Robert Kiernan's reluctance to return the Mustang to the man who made it famous, the car wasn't well looked after. Kiernan was the car's third owner. It was originally in the hands of a Warner Brothers employee who used it as a daily driver before being sold to a man from New Jersey who also owned it for everyday use, according to Hagerty.Kiernan then got his hands on the car and was attached enough to turn down Steve McQueen's offers. Kiernan eventually got his hands on a company car, so the Mustang became his wife's vehicle. A few years later, the clutch went and the car was simply left in the garage. There it stayed until the Kiernans moved, and the 'Stang went with them, where it just sat in a different garage.Kiernan and his son Sean did attempt repairing the old muscle car in 2001, but it wasn't to be. The plan was to make it drivable while leaving all of the "history" in place. They disassembled the car, but the project fell by the wayside when Sean started a family and Robert was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. So, the Mustang remained unrepaired and was in several pieces. Before he died, Robert did get another chance to annoy the people of Hollywood. The producers of 2000's "Charlie's Angels" asked to use the car in their movie and were turned away.
