"Little Bastard" (or parts scavenged from it) has some seriously bad mojo since that fateful day. Caveat Emptor.
Here's a 1990 video discussing the history of the car hosted by none other than...Al Michaels? The "curse" stuff begins about 4 minutes in. Nothing we don't already know, but interesting nonetheless. http://theselvedgeyard.wordpress.com/2009/07/03/little-bastard-the-silver-spyder/
Interesting. As far as where the car is today, it was most likely stolen and is in hiding now. We may see the day when the car comes out and is sold for millions. I wonder if that guy using the transaxle to Deans Porsche survived.....
