- The only Porsche James Dean ever owned was a 550 Spyder.
-
- He bought it for racing, and on the condition that the mechanic who recommended it to
- him do all the service work for him.
-
- He died in it before he ever raced it (sorta in it, he got thrown out and killed --
- seat belts weren't too popular back then) in the hills of California when a guy
- made an illegal turn ahead of him.
-
- Which should detract nothing from the Porsche 356 SC in question
