Volo Auto Museum Offers $1 Million for James Dean Death Car

The Volo Auto Museum will pay one million dollars for the missing 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder that James Dean drove to his death on September 30, 1955. Most likely stolen, the car disappeared in 1958.

The museum in Volo, Illinois, is commemorating the 50th anniversary of James Dean's death with a temporary exhibit of artifacts from the fatal crash, including the only part of the car known to exist, the restored passenger-side door.

The items are on loan from George Barris, who originally customized the Porsche for Dean. Barris is famous for designing and building cars for movies and television programs, including the Batmobile from the 1960's television series.

To collect the one million dollars, Dean's Porsche must be fully authenticated by Barris.
