Where do Ferrari's go when they die?

They are shipped back to Ferrari and put into a giant graveyard for Ferraris in an undisclosed location.

 

Probably eventually fixed or parted out. There's always a market for an F-car.

 

I know of two salvage yards dealing with Ferrari, one in Costa Mesa CA, the other in Rancho Cordova CA. I'm sure there are others.

 

Probably parted out as posted above. When you get a bit more familiar with the cars, you'll be stunned to find out that "even a lowly 308" has Ferrari parts costs and can be profitably mined for parts.

The other aspect is that after a while all Ferraris are worth restoring. It wasn't that long ago that 246s and Boxers were regarded in the same light as you and others regard 308s. Time has a way... So you won't see many Daytona carcasses sitting around, for example.

Thirdly, and maybe obviously, Ferraris are rare and tend to be looked after. I would guess a huge percentage of them are still on the road.

 

They get cut up and sold for parts generally. Places like TR have been cutting up 308's like mad for years, and they aint alone.

A copy of the Ferris Bueller car, although a replica of a Ferrari to begin with, was hung engineless from the cieling at Planet Hollywood at the Mall of America until they closed. They pawned it off on everyone as a real Ferrari and the actual movie car but it was niether. But you could imagine someone doing something simular with a real Ferrari. Probably not a 250 spyder though, lol.

So I would assume thats the two ways they go. Or three. Some just sit out back somewhere slowly deteriorating until someone with enthusiasm decides to begin a rescue. 0052 falls into that category.

 

check the back of Autoweek. There are shops selling repairable wrecks all the time.

would I do it? no way.

 

I make no claim to California.....

 

A mate of mine has dodge viper wheels on his wall after one was wrecked in a rally many years ago.

PAPster,
That silver 512M should buff out nicely. The others look like test crash sacrifices. Are they cars you've gone through, you asphalt demon??

 

And, as soon as we can split from NV ,, and float off into the Pacific Ocean,,, the better!

 

PAP, I hope you have the VIN's for the 355's. You know that 285ferrari (Robbie) is going to want them for his registry.

 

Once i saw a Ferrari-junkyard just like that

 

sometimes they reincarnate into race cars

or 250 GTO replicas

 

Quite a few exotics around Reno actually.....no Enzos that I'm aware of though..... I never see 348's here for whatever reason, one of the reasons I want one.

We'll just build a bridge. I have most of my Dad's side of the family in SFV, so I'm in Cali quite a bit, I just can't see myself living there!

 

That is my personal Ferrari junkyard out the back!!

 

I DO NOT have the VIN's 285ferrari!! I repeat!! I DO NOT have the VIN's!!

 

EBay...at least a few do!
