Actor Kevin Dillon, of late of Entourage fame, is a car enthusiast with a special penchant for vintage sports cars. He also has great admiration for the late legendary actor James Dean who also had an attraction to fast automobiles. One of Kevin's ambitions is to own a replica of Dean's famed Porsche 550 Spyder. It was, in fact, in such a car that the fast-living and fast-driving Dean met his demise on a lonely highway near Salinas, California.
Will Cashen of Southern California vintage car replica specialists Automotive Legends helps Kevin realize his goal of owning and driving a perfect replica of the racing-built Porsche 550. The historic recreation is hand built to externally mimic the original in practically every way, but is constructed to modern safety specifications and with custom features ordered by Dillon.
In this slide show, take a ride with new owner Kevin Dillon as he and Cashen take the freshly minted Spyder replica for a test spin on curvy California highways.
