Worldwide vintage autos is pleased to present this 1955 porsche spyder replica. Titled as a 1955 porsche! One of the best drivers out there, own this spyder for a fraction of the build cost! Historyperhaps the most famous of the first 90 porsche 550’s built was james dean’s “little bastard”, numbered 130 (vin 550-0055), which dean fatally crashed into donald turnupseed’s 1950 ford custom at the ca rte. 46/41 cholame junction on september 30, 1955. As dean was finishing up giant’s filming in september, 1955, he suddenly traded in his 356 porsche super speedster at competition motors, for a new 1955 porsche 550 spyder on september 21st, and immediately entered the upcoming salinas road race event scheduled for october 1 and 2. According to lee raskin, porsche historian and author of james dean at speed, dean asked custom car painter and pin striper dean jeffries to paint “little bastard” on the car:“dean jeffries, who had a paint shop next to barris did the customizing work which consisted of: painting ‘130’ in black non-permanent paint on the front hood, doors and rear deck lid. He also painted ‘little bastard’ in script across the rear cowling. The red leather bucket seats and red tail stripes were original. The tail stripes were painted by the stuttgart factory, which was customary on the spyders for long distance endurance racing identification.”the 550 is among the most frequently reproduced classic automobiles. Several companies have sprung up in the last 25 years that offer kit and turnkey cars. One of, if not the most famous builders of these fine automobiles. Don’t be fooled by other builders as they do not produce the same quality that beck has done for many years.
