The ultimate piece of Apple merch is up for sale: a 1979 Porsche 935 K3 decorated in a vintage Apple look, a complete replica of the racecar sponsored by Apple in 1980.

The car is being sold by the Atlantis Motor Group for $499,000, a steal compared to the estimated $8 to $10 million value of the original. In fact, the original car doesn't even look like it did in the Apple sponsorship days anymore.

In 1979, one year before Apple decked it out in rainbow colors, Paul Newman raced in it, to a huge media circus. In 2006, it was restored to the way it looked when driven by Newman, without a trace of its Apple background.

Luckily, the replica remains to give a peek at what Apple's only racecar ever looked like. Take a look.

Apple has acknowledged rumors that it's working on self-driving car technology, but until then this replica is the closest thing available to a true Apple car.

The original is owned by Adam Carolla, which he bought for $4.4 million in 2016.

The replica does still bear the "Garretson Enterprises" name, from the original race team sponsored by Apple for its first and only season in 1980.

The main visual difference between the original and the replica is that the replica says "Atlantis Motor Group" on the front.
