Associated with mysterious disappearances and accidents, the cars below are believed to be “haunted” by some kind of scary curse.

1. James Dean’s Porsche 500 Spyder

One of the most famous and terrifying cases recorded is James Dean’s Porsche 500 Spyder. Actor James Dean was a big fan of racing cars, but ironically, his passion led to a tragic end for him.

James Dean and the Porsche 500 Spyder.

On the racetrack in Salinas, California, USA, Dean’s Porsche 500 Spyder suddenly lost control and crashed, killing Dean and seriously injuring his passenger. Thus, the nickname “Little Bastard” that Dean affectionately gave to the Porsche 500 Spyder came true in his own death.

Dean’s friend, George Barris – a famous car collector, took the pieces of the Spyder and sold them to other drivers. Among them, the engine and propulsion system of the car were sold to two doctors. Horrifyingly, those parts were installed in the car and drove onto the racetrack in Pomona, causing both of them to have a terrible accident, killing one person.

When Barris heard that information, he finally began to believe in the curse and decided to take the Porsche 500 Spyder’s body to the California Highway Patrol. Here the car was put on display as a warning to reckless drivers that more misfortune would follow. But horribly, this first display location was a garage that later burned down, leaving the “Bastard Boy” in blackened pieces.

Not only that, when being transported by trucks on the way to a high school, debris from the Porsche 500 Spyder fell and caused another accident, breaking a student’s hip. It then even injured the truck driver and both thieves.

Finally, the “Bastard Kid” mysteriously disappeared in the back of the truck while being transported from Miami, Florida to Los Angeles, California and it was never seen again. Leftlanenews reported that the Volo Auto Museum announced a $1 million reward for anyone willing to sell the Porsche 500 Spyder. Currently, museum officials are continuing to hunt, they believe they will find the mysterious whereabouts of the 500 Spyder soon.

2. John F. Kennedy’s SS-100-X Limousine

This Lincoln, built by Ford for John F. Kennedy, is rumored to be haunted by the previous US president with the same name, Abraham Lincoln – the first US president to be assassinated at the Ford Motor Company’s theater. It is believed that Kennedy’s tragedy in the Lincoln is a sign of the “history repeats itself” curse.

President John F. Kennedy and the Lincoln.

SS-100-X was the code name given by the Secret Service to John F. Kennedy’s 1961 navy blue Lincoln 74A convertible. At that time, this car cost up to 200 thousand USD, but unfortunately, it did not have bulletproof features, although its cabin had many attractive features.

As fate would have it, Mr. Kennedy was shot three times while traveling with First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy on November 22, 1963 and died.

Surprisingly, Lincoln continued to serve for another 8 years after Mr. Kennedy’s death. Hess & Eisenhardt added many security measures to the car. Typically, titanium armor, bulletproof glass and bulletproof roof. The car was also repainted black by President Lyndon Johnson, who felt it should be changed from navy blue because it was reminiscent of the assassination.

The Lincoln was later retired and placed in the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI in 1978. Some later rumored that the car was haunted by something. Some even said that a ghost in a gray dress once stood near the car.
