James Dean's 'Little Bastard' Missing Porsche May Have Just Been Found
Apparently, after a 2014 episode of a TV show, the Volo museum got a call from a man who said that he was six when he saw his father and a couple of other men hide James Dean's 550 Spyder behind a false wall in a building in Washington state. The man is not revealing the exact location of the car until he feels assured that he will receive the $1M reward the museum has promised for a lead to the car, and the museum is working on establishing who the current owner of the vehicle is.

The conversation over the exact whereabouts of the car are ongoing, with the man wanting a guaranteed amount of the reward money before revealing the location. The museum is trying to establish clear legal ownership of the car before granting any rewards, but everything looks to be moving forward.
“This guy’s story is awesome, and our most believable lead to date,” Grams said. “It’s kind of like Al Capone’s vault. If it is in there, it continues the legend of this car’s notorious history.”

If true, this could be some of the most exciting automotive news in years.
