Where is James Dean’s Porsche 550 Spyder?
I just watched a documentary about James Dean and his terrible car accident. Super tragic! I’m a little curious now, though, where is James Dean’s Porsche 550 Spyder today?

Ah yes, the speeding accident of James Dean is indeed a tragic one. The whereabouts of James Dean’s Porsche 550 Spyder (aka “Little Bastard”) are a bit of a mystery today. But the supposed transaxle was purchased by Zak Bagans and put on display in his Haunted Museum in
Las Vegas, Nevada
. In typical fashion, a high-profile celebrity death is followed by urban legends. Rumor has it that the salvageable parts of James Dean’s Porsche were repurposed and used in other vehicles—and that any vehicle the transaxle went into suffered a similar fate.
Hence, James Dean’s “death car” transaxle is reportedly cursed, which is why it was purchased for $382,000 to reside in Zak Bagans’ museum.
Learning about James Dean’s car crash may inspire you to drive more carefully, or perhaps buy a non-cursed Porsche of your own. Similarly, you can ensure you’re protected against financial ruin with quality car insurance.
