The Six Million Dollar Man (1973) - Steve Austin (Lee Major) Red Tracksuit

Steve Austin’s (Lee Majors) iconic red tracksuit from the science fiction and action television series, The Six Million Dollar Man. Steve Austin is an astronaut who is seriously injured when his spaceship crashes. Handsome and athletic, Austin undergoes a government-sanctioned surgery, which rebuilds several of Steve's body parts with machine parts, making him cyborglike. When Steve recovers, his machine parts enable him to have superhuman strength and speed, as well as other powers. With these powers, Steve goes to work for the Office of Scientific Information, battling evil for the good of mankind. Austin wore his tracksuit in the show and notably during a running sequence in the opening credit. The tracksuit became so associated with the character that the popular Six Million Dollar Man action figure bears the same style and color track suit. This red tracksuit comprises a zip-up track jacket and a pair of tracksuit bottoms. The front of the track jacket features a wide stripe and zipper. The tracksuit is in great production-used condition with labeling. The consignor obtained the tracksuit from production designer, Alfeo Bocchicchio. This lot comes with a letter from the production designer and a Certificate of Authenticity from Studio Auctions.
