Robert Redford's old Porsche sold for $1.5 million

A 1964 Porsche 904 GTS once owned by actor Robert Redford was sold for over $1.5 million at a Bonhams auction in Paris.

The green coupe was originally purchased by racer and collector Steve Earle, but quickly sold to Steve Berg, who raced it for a couple of years before selling it to Redford in 1966.

Porsche sold the cars new for just over $7,000, the equivalent of about $63,000 today.

Redford kept it for almost a decade before selling it, and the car changed hands several times, losing its original engine along the way, until its latest owner purchased it in 1982.
