550 Spyder found?
No, not the missing James Dean Crash car... but I think an elaborate hoax...anybody here heard of it?

That shipping container is how old? 30 years tops?

Ya, they certainly knew it was there. It may have been stashed away, but I got the feeling the family has known they had it all along.

don't know the line between staged and a hoax though.

Jimmy Dean's 550 found in storage container? Was Jimmy Hoffa's remains in the trunk?

The article was in Zero Hedge. What are the odds that it was all on the up and up?

At first I thought it might be an April fools joke...you know, a fiberglass replica paraded as the real thing.
Evidently, it's the real deal...just that it wasn't really lost.

“and to find one that’s been lost to time in a container … Well, that’s like finding a unicorn with bigfoot riding it.”

Yeah, has to be lost in the first place to be "found". Mind you the term certainly gets peoples little hearts racing.
