The infamous vehicle that James Dean’s soul was laid to rest from after a head on collision cost him his life on September 30, 1955. Dean was unfortunately not the only unlucky soul to have passed to the other side by that infamous Porsche according to rumors. There have been many claims that his car has taken several lives as it passed from collector to collector. Now we have no idea if this is true, but we would certainly think twice before getting in the drivers seat of a 550 Spyder before knowing exactly where it came from and whether it was in a good, or a bad mood!

1958 Plymouth Fury-

“Christine”, as she became known, was a sleek red and white 1958 Plymouth Fury from the 1983 movie adaptation of Stephen King’s horror classic. She still gives us nightmares when thinking about finding one in a dark alley one night. Suddenly the lights turn on, you look around, but there is no way to run, other than back from where you came from. The minute you turn to run, the last sight and sound you experience is your shadow growing shorter in the midst of her headlights and the grumble of her 383 cubic inch V-8 engine as she closes in on you…

The short, stocky, and muscular build of the XB GT Falcon was the perfect starting point from which to slap on a quad-pipe side exit exhaust, and a gleaming supercharger, which was literally exploding from its hood. The car looked sinister even in the bright sun of the wasted land we first saw it on the movie classic, Mad Max. Imagining finding one of these behind you on a deserted road, hugging your bumper like a sex crazed mechaphilliast (one who likes to have sex with machines), still gives us goose pimples to this day!

From the popular John Hughes film, Uncle Buck, we bring you a fearful sight for anyone who is not quite fond of their In-Laws. Especially ones with old, large, smoky, smelly, rusted, 1970’s gas hogs that sit in the front of your house for an entire month, earning you three letters from the HOA, a tow citation from the city, and a big black oil puddle near your sidewalk. This vehicle just might be one of the scariest of them all!
