    Guy was mentally stable enough to search out a beautiful blue/tan gated coupe. Disappointing that with 90,000 red w/F1 he chose the blue one..

    Lots of parts there I'd like to have. Including the front clip w/shields and the front bumper facade. The red brake calipers too.

    How would those Daytona seats recondition after submersion, I wonder?

    Ahh yes, the putrid stank of rotting fish over black mold and a side of fried electronics.


    Must be a joy to walk your nose pass that heap in the warehouse!

    lets see this car driven off the pier in Riveria Beach Florida with engine running in salt water .. I would be careful on this one worth ZERO to me ... salt water is not very friendly to about anything in or on a Ferrari

    You know what really pisses me off about this whole story and I mentioned it right after it happened, somehow, someway the insurance company must have paid out something on this but why? It was not an accident, it was intentionally driven into the water. Why on Earth would the insurance company pay out on this but yet it is listed as the seller being State Farm Insurance. All this does is raise rates for normal people who don't intentionally total their Ferraris.

    I am no insurance expert but comprehensive typically covers OTC Other Than Collision... like fire, theft hail, vandalism, falling object Etc. Not knowingly, wantonly, on video, purposely driving your car into the water. It's kind of like if you have life insurance and commit suicide the policy is null and void

    Yes, but because there was no front end damage, there are a lot of not-easy-to-find parts that I wouldn't mind having.

    And the U boat came back from the dead. I guarantee that this car will be revived! ;)
    Mark this date, less than one year from now it will be back on the road. :)

    If I am wrong I will................
