    I have spent years searching for that car and keep coming up empty handed.Turnupseed would not speak a word about the accident to anyone so when he died all the information was lost forever.The family did see some dollar signs when he p***ed a few years back and auctioned off his hot rod magazines with the his subscription labels on them on ebay but the car never surfaced.Yes there is interest by me and I'm sure several other would love to have their hands on this car.How amazing would it be to own the car that killed a icon like dean.

    Hell James is still cruzing in it with wild Bill Hickman setting next to him. see Bill was holding James at his p***ing so when Bill p***ed James met him with a cold beer and said lets cruz the big guy says its kool but wants to know how many hub caps did you lost in Bullit ? Steve wont tell him Lol
     
  4. I learned more about James Dean's death than I ever knew before, yet feel somehow dumber at the same time.

    from tulare ca.

    i heard that some one in eureka ca. has turnupseeds for and is restoring it i guess he is the gentelman that had the replica of deans porche when they didicated the highway to dean on the 50 year anniversary i spoke to him a few years back and have not been able to contact since i have a special intrest in seeing this ride!

    as far as the family seeing some dollar signs after turnupseeds death by auctioning his hot rod mags on ebay is completely false the family has never used the accident to profit for them selves including donald himself and he was offered substancial amounts of money for interviews

    I hate to get all technical, but the car that killed him was a 1950 Ford Tudor, James was just driving the Little ******* at the time...

    And as far as any talk about restoring his Porche, well...

    [​IMG] Good luck.
