Apparently it had been traveling around the swap meet circuit for a couple of decades at that point. I think parts of the engine with serial number stampings turned up too. The rumor about the car disappearance was that Dean's family had it stolen bceause of the bad things happening and the fact that publicly were against the "safety campaign" that was using the accident for publicity. FWIW, computer modeling over the years has pretty much proven that Dean was going about the speed limit, he was not traveling at the 85-100 mph that was rumored.
