Seems like a Euro car with an almost-F50 GT-esque front bumper and an adjustable rear spoiler! Heard it was done by a small independent shop. Pics originally post by user @stocky on the _f e r r a r i l i f e_ forums. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
#99999 to be auctioned this week I believe. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
99999 is being sold by Worldwide Auctioneers. I may have missed it, but I don't see anything in their write up that describes the car as one of the 55 US cars. Gooding is auctioning s/n 103922, which is most certainly one of the 55 US-spec F50s.
99999 is an Euro car and was sold new to Garage Francorchamps. It is the last Ferrari with a five digit serial number. 103922 is an U.S. version and was sold new to Benny Caiola. Marcel Massini

F50 values increased so much these past few years. Many expect values to come down. It'll be interesting to see how much the two cars will fetch at the auctions next week. How big is the price disparity between US vs Euro vs Japan F50s ? Any take on that ?
You can find f50s for less than $2m with around 10k miles in Europe. Here I dont know what an equivalent US car would fetch. $2.5m?
F50 values corrected upwards in recent years upon the realization that the last manual gearbox Ferrari Supercar built in relatively rare numbers should be at least as valuable as a 288 GTO or Enzo if not more so than the latter. Many also expect values to remain the same or even increase again at some point. USA cars are a limited series of 55 with some material differences so they naturally bring more, impossible to create a formula for this, the market speaks, see Glenmarch for a compilation, and more besides, Eu & Japan cars are essentially the same variant. You may get a Eu F50 for under $2m but what will the condition and maintenance history be like? It will likely take a bit more than $2.5m to get a really nice properly serviced USA F50 with 10k miles but here's to hoping.
