A rare replica of an iconic race car is now currently up for sale over at DuPont Registry: the Apple-themed 1979 Porsche 935 K3.

Much like the real model that only raced in the 1980 season, the replica has all the decals and markings true to the original, including the emblematic Apple rainbow stripes, the “Apple Computer” name on its hood, as well as a rear bumper sticker reading “Don’t upset the Apple Car.” Of course, since it’s not the original, the price tags are vastly different: the former, which is currently owned by Adam Corolla, is priced at $10 million USD, while this replica will set you back a relatively more modest $499,000 USD.

For those not familiar with the car’s historic significance, an article from 2016 by The Drive describes Steve Jobs’ fascination and support of the racer: “It ran only the 1980 season, finishing seventh at Sebring, second at Riverside and Sears Point, and third at Road America, peppered in between with DNFs,” it reads. “But the Apple 935K3 was a fan favorite and won a cult following at Le Mans, despite retiring after 13 hours. Jobs knew smart when he saw it, and hitching his logo to a Porsche on an international motorsport tour got the word out. It made even more sense a few months later when the company went public in December, the most profitable IPO since Ford.”

If you’re interested in owning this replicated part of computing and racing history, head over to DuPont Registry to check out the listing now.

Elsewhere in the automotive world, a 1985 Toyota SR5 pickup has been reworked to resemble the truck in Back to the Future.
