“Unraveling the Enigma: Could James Dean’s Iconic Car Hold Dark Secrets of a Cursed Legacy?”
Little Bastard was the only vehicle that sustained any damage. “The cause of the fire is unknown. It burned two tires and scorched the paint on the vehicle,” said the newspaper.
Vanished Into Thin Air?
Perhaps just as mysterious as all of the unfortunate tragedies surrounding James Dean’s legendary Porsche Spyder is the way it vanished in 1960. Throughout the years, Barris would recount his final bizarre experience with the wrecked car.
According to Barris, Little Bastard was being transported from a traffic safety exhibit in Miami in a sealed boxcar. When the train carrying its eerie cargo arrived in Los Angeles, Barris signed for it. However, he found the sealed boxcar empty.
A Million-Dollar Offer For The Car
In 2005, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Dean’s death, Volo Auto Museum in Chicago created this tribute car. It also made a very enticing offer to the public: one million dollars for the return
of the legendary Porsche. Surely someone would come forward with the wreckage, right?
A decade passed with plenty of dead-end tips coming in. That is, until 2015. Then, the museum got a call that rekindled interest in the mystery of Little Bastard.
