I was about 16 or 17 when, "LeMans", came out in the theaters. As I recall from reading one of the car mags of the day, and from watching the movie, McQueen drove a Porsche 917 in that film. Further, the Ferraris weren't really Ferraris in the film. When the producers approached Enzo Ferrari to get some cars for the film, Enzo wouldn't do it because a Ferrari didn't win the film's race. The prominent Ferraris in the film were actually, rebodied Lolas, if I'm recalling correctly.
I'm not saying this is the end of discussion, just my .02 as I recall it.
