Dean was an avid driver and often participated in car races. He went racing with his Porsche 356 Speedster and came in second in the Palm Springs Road Races, third in Bakersfield and fourth in the Santa Monica Road Races.

While he was on the set of Rebel Without a Cause, he traded his Speedster for a Porsche 550 Spyder – only 90 such models were ever made.

“You Will Be Dead Next Week …“

The car was nicknamed Little Bastard by Dean’s stunt driving coach Bill Hickman.
