i watched a documentary about this on speed ch the other night
things about the car
people who came in contact with the parts off the car died due to the car
the person who bought the wrecked car put it on a travelling show across the u.s people who worked with him got badly injured or died due to the car
and now the car is missing no one knows where it is one day it was on the trailer coved the next day during transport it was gone
