550 RS Spyder, 1955. 5 stars, as this car called "Little Bastard" is a myth. -- Last edit: 2006-08-28 22:53:28 |

Is a myth worth 5 stars? It's not much seen in the movie (only 3 or 4 times), that's why I had made it 3 stars. -- Last edit: 2006-08-29 10:02:41 |

Up to Antoine to decide. This car, maybe not visible a lot in such a movie/documentary, is part of the history. -- Last edit: 2006-08-29 10:03:55 |

This time I would agree for the car being important, even if it is not seen for long time. |

Or even 5, it is hard to say  This Porsche is part of the life (or death  ) of James Dean, so as the movie is about him...But there are currently on the site several cars with 5 stars that do not deserve it, IMHO. -- Last edit: 2006-08-29 11:41:12 |

It's no a problem to me, but to me it's just a car used by a character...maybe has an important role...  -- Last edit: 2006-08-29 12:47:49 |

One fact is sure this is a perfect replica of the Jame's Dean Porsche. Very-very intersting car |

Shouldn't we add "replica" in the signaletics of the car? -- Last edit: 2006-08-29 13:44:17 |

I guess, yes |

Pour faire suite à la discussion /vehicle.php?id=41949 on est dans ce cas de figure. Véhicule utilisé par un perso principal et vu 3 ou 4 fois => 3 étoiles Véhicule légendaire du cinéma et de l'histoire automobile => bonus de 1 étoile donc 4 étoiles. Qu'en pensez-vous ? |
|
◊ 2006-08-29 13:47 |
Tout à fait d'accord. |

The car is offered for sale. In the synopsis is said that it was crafted by Beck, not by Vintage. |

After the accident, the wreckage was bought by car customizer George Barris for parts and after buying it, the "Curse of the Little Bastard" started to create havoc: George Barris - The wreckage fell off the trailer and landed and broke both legs of a mechanic who was unloading the wreckage with Barris at his shop after Dean's accident. Troy McHenry - Doctor and part-time racer, installed an engine identical to the engine used in Dean's Porsche for his Lotus racer, died when his car had spun into a tree during a race at Pomona, California on the afternoon of the 21st October 1956. William Eschrid - Doctor and part-time racer, bought the drivetrain for his racer, injured when his racer flipped over in the same race that day. William Eschrich - Doctor and part-time racer, had raced against Dean previously and bought the engine for Lotus IX, was shunted in the rear by another racer later that same day. -- Last edit: 2020-12-02 14:45:45 |
