I hope someone uses it to make a one off!

Hell yeah.

 

If I had the money it would be getting rebuilt stat!

Were you the driver?

 

Surprise! $528,000 Ferrari F50 Driven By Shirtless Asshat Crashes

 

I see what you did there... :-/

 

Seem to be a few threads going; I posted the new Copart pics here, http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/288gto-f40-f50-enzo-laferrari/308666-f50-thread-28.html#post142662887.

So, of course it was his head that hit the windshield... I mean you can't wear a seat belt when you're shirtless - it would chafe.

 

August of 2013? It's been sitting that long, and only now making news?

Hmmm anyone know someone who I can talk to, to get a professional opinion on the "repairability" of the car? Though before my time, I have always had a soft spot for the F40/F50.

 

I love how when there is a wreck of an exotic, everyone suddenly becomes the voice of reason and the epitome of the "never broken a law or damaged a car in their life driver." His money, his car.

 

Everyone should be called richard.

 

Anyone ever used Copart? Is it possible to get a report from them of the repairs that the insurance company said were needed (the basis for the car being junked)? While not a definitive list it would be a good starting point.

 

I agree with Richard on this one.

 

I think a pelican......

Poor car......

 

now listed as "pure sale". It's gonna sell.

 

Geepers. Just shy of $500k. Insane.

One less black F50 in the US

 

446k, you have to be joking. Unreal. Well, at least it will be repaired.

 

So I was a little off. I was ready to bid that wreck to $175K...

Geno

 

Yep. I was watching the pre-sale bidding and my threshold was $250k. I watched it go live and just laughed when it crossed $400k. But then cried. That was the first F50 I saw in my life (when I was 12). Would have been nice to resurrect it.

 

I am only confused by the idea of a US spec car going to Germany. Will be interesting to follow the story on this one.

I wonder if the Texas bidder could have been Andy House? He's got a thing for wrecked supercars.
