Well the price is reserve is undisclosed, and it does have $16k worth of damage.... but say the winning bid is $50k and you pay for the parts and do the labor yourself. You could buy a Ferrari for less than $75k.

I call bullshit, the entire suspension is torched. That's probably a parts car at best.

Notice it said partial parts list. I'm willing the bet it would cost twice that in parts alone, and I think Ferrari labor rates are in the $120 an hour ballpark these days.


So at the end of the day, you'd have a $100k salvage titled F-car that no one else would really want.

So assuming you did the work yourself, where in the hell would you get the body parts for this thing?

^^^^ I'm more with this guy. Sure, it may be salvageable, but not near 75k. The pics really do not show the level of "bending" that it could be hiding (ie radiator supports etc)

That's one place, but I doubt you'd find everything you need from there.
