The car was most likely stripped having its body panels replaced with genuine Pontiac Fiero fenders and deck lid. My bet it is sitting in the collection of some prominent Hip Hop singer as we speak.

 

349 according to F. Statisticians may differ.

Reward? ehh..ask Algar. And what do you mean if you were to find it?

You know sumin' ?

 

Ahh. These sorts of rewards are typically contingent upon results not merely good-intentioned searching.

 

Lots of ports near Philly.
513 horsepower 4.7liter V12 helps it disappear a little quicker than a Sable.
Non-compliant foreign countries that look the other way or don't care. My guess is Russia.

 

No chance that thing was taken apart. It is sitting in someone's garage somewhere, where it will likely sit forever.

 

I believe it was recently recovered.

 

I thought it was in Japan and has since been repainted white?

 

Exactly... except the "forever" part. It will resurface at some point. Maybe in Japan, maybe after the current "owner" dies and it comes back into the public light.

It will be one of the most interesting F50's at that point.

I would guess it's still in the USA. If it was stolen with the intent to sell it to an owner who would drive it, then it would have already popped up somewhere outside the jurisdiction of the authorities (like Japan). So my guess is that whoever owns it, just wants to have it in their care and doesn't mind not driving it... either that, or some vin tag trickery has taken place and this F50 is running around disguised as a legit F50.

We will know the rest of the story some day.

 

I have it. I'll bring it back to Algar soon. I just want to enjoy it for a little while longer.

 

Can you tell me more? I thought it was still gone.

You're probably right about that. Now that I am thinking about it, it is likely that the "owner" is the only person who knows the true story behind this car. Telling a lot of people that you have a stolen car, let alone a stolen $800K Ferrari, isn't something that many people would do. Since the car, as far as I know, hasn't been recovered this is likely the case. If this is true, it is likely to turn up when the current "owner" passes away. It will probably end up for sale by a family member who believes the car to be legit, and then the mystery will finally be solved.

 

+1 !

 

Guys.

This mystery was solved long ago.
The whereabouts of the car are known.
The current ownership of the car is known.
The wheels of Justice are turning.

When the people who know what happened want to talk about they will.

Well, the mystery wasn't solved so long as most of us don't know the details

So is this two f-chat F-50 mysteries now (the car the FBI crashed and the deal surrounding it) plus the Algar F50, or are they one and the same?

 

But sadly not powered by a 4.7l V12 - so will we hear something any sooner than under the previous theory (owner dying)?

 

No, the one that the FBI crashed was previously owned by a member here.
