    I was lucky enough to bid and win 8 fabulous Cavallino horses at a recent movie production set supplier auction.

    These cavallinos are huge 27 inches high by 18 inches wide and they look exactly like the ones you see at the Ferrari store or at the dealer.

    They are all primed and ready for paint....I used a can of chrome paint on one of them (as pictured) and it came out not too bad.

    I can sell them primed or painted, it's up to you....but I only have 8 and I'm keeping one so 7 are for sale. Please PM me if you are interested, first-come-first-serve but everyone should have one of these babies hanging in the garage.

    I'll try painting other colors and post more pics shortly

    Here is what I can I can offer:

    -primer only 500$
    -painted (white, shiny black, flat black, red, chrome-paint, yellow or any other color) 525$
    -Painted to match the color of your car to match (just provide your Ferrari paint code or name) 650$
    -Professionally finished in real chrome finish 650$

    I'll need a couple of weeks to fulfill the orders (painting, packaging, etc...) after your payment is received, I prefer Paypal. All prices are plus shipping.

    These will not be available forever, I only have 7 and they are all in perfect condition (no cracks or defects) and they all have an attachment in the back so you can hang it on your wall.

    Since you are offering a real chrome finish, they are cast in metal? Aluminum?

    Actually, they are a plastic shell filled with hard foam so they are kind of light yet pretty sturdy. Obviously I haven't tried but it feels solid enough that it looks like you could drop it and it won't break.

    I apologize for describing it as "real" chrome...to clarify and not mislead anyone, the "chrome" I was referring to is a professional chrome application that works with a baking and plating process.

    The look is a more durable and more exact to real chrome but it's more expensive and looks much better than a chrome spray can finish. I inquired about getting a system and it costs about 10,000$ just to set it up so obviously I won't be buying it but dealing with someone local that has it.

    Here's a link to the process:

    It's a plastic-over-foam Cavallino for $500 unpainted?

    How would you compare these to the metal hand made sculptures of cavallinos sold on here?

    I did a search in this section for a horse sculpture and all I found was a flat horse for 275$. I certainly am not going to trash someone else's ad but you certainly cannot compare...I mean this horse is EXACTLY like what is found at the dealer or at the Ferrari store and exactly what is on the car and it's three-dimensional.

    There are plenty of 2D flat horses out there and they are easy to find and easy to make (just get a flat sheet of metal or aluminium, trace the horse from a paper print and cut it out. No offense, this is night and day....for a couple hundred bucks more.

    Plus it's made of a lightweight non-corrosive material so it's easy to ship, transport, hang on the wall, etc...

    Again, no offense to someone else's ad, what I saw looked really nice but this is miles away from that....in my opinion.

    Just to clarify, the shell is actually a thick epoxy resin (similar to a plastic but more like fiberglass without the filler strands) and the foam is a high density ultra rigid foam (you cannot cut it, not even with an exacto knife, the blade will break) These things are not cheaply made!

    I'll post more pics and a video probably by next week.

    I have one of these I bought a few years ago...

    The quality is actually pretty good, the price here is more than I paid but I think still reasonable.

    Can you pm me what you paid and where you bought it? I am curious...if I'm way out of the ball park I will consider reducing it.

    I know it's a lot of money but this thing is BIG!!!! height is 28 inches!!! and it's a real 3D embossed prancing horse

    Ferrari sells a flat 2D paperweight cutout 6 inches high (see pic below) for 200$....I think my price is reasonable for what you get.

    I think you will love it and won't regret it. The one I have here on the wall I can assure you is a head turner, everyone stares at it and inevitably turn to me and say: I WANT ONE!!!
