After Dean bought the car, he showed it to his friend, fellow actor Sir Alec Guinness, who wrote in his diary, "The sports car looked sinister to me...exhausted, hungry, feeling a little ill-tempered in spite of Dean's kindness. I heard myself saying in a voice I could hardly recognize as my own, 'Please never get in it. If you get in that car, you will be found dead in it by this time next week.'" After Dean's fatal crash in that car, the engine and transmission went into two separate racing vehicles. The vehicle with the engine crashed, and the driver walked away, but the vehicle with the transmission hit a tree, killing the driver. The car was then taken on a tour with the National Safety Council, where it mysteriously burst into flames in storage. The car survived with only two melted tires. The other two were sold and simultaneously burst on the road leading to a driver running off the road. The car is also said to have broken the hip of a bystander while on display, fall and kill the driver transporting the car, and disappear from a sealed boxcar in 1960. The car hasn't been seen since.
