...and even the replicas have been sold at auction for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

15 Years ago I had a chance to buy a replica of the car James Dean was killed in. A Beck Porsche 550. Never titled. Sold for $8,000.00

Now that same car sells for $50,000.00

Bummer. You can buy a clapped-out Beetle and a 550 body kit, then have a hobby for your retirement.

Back around 1958 when I was growing up in northern Michigan, my uncle came back to town that winter driving a Porsche. He was basically a ski bum and ski instructor out west in resorts such as Squaw Valley.

Anyway, he was partying in Harbor Springs with some old high school classmates and driving home to my grand parents that night, lost it on the snow covered road and totaled it. That's all I remember........
