As there are only 90 in existence, any 550 Spyder warrants a lengthy description when it goes up for sale. Chassis 550-0050, one with a few notable owners, might even deserve a little extra attention. In 1955, this car was purchased by Jim Cook, who raced it alongside C. Pitt Browne until ‘65.

Take the front half of a street car, the rear half of a race car, fuse them in the center, eventually replace the headlights for a pair of "broken eggs" from a 996.1, and cloak the car in a mysterious aura.
