Agree - thx for the comments.   I caught a preview of the next program and they were agonizing over the cost of the parts - this ain't gonna be pretty ....

you may be off a little but not much, F40's are bringing $600-$750 retail that car should have been priced at NO more than $250 but the glory of it is that it had a clear title unless that was just bullshit but who knows. It will cost easy $100k to fix if not more and anyone who sees that show, any real Ferrari buyer anyway will know the cars history and avoid at any cost. I saw the previews of next weeks show and they are cutting on the frame. I don't think they can fix that car properly to be safe over 100mph. And the funny part is that the sellers said after it is fixed Ferrari will certify it, LOL that will NEVER happen, unless Ferrari fixes the car themselves.

Subject: [Ferrari] Fast N Loud TV Program

So I'm laying in bed (it's been 8 weeks mostly) while my new knee heals and I'm bored so I check out Comcast On Demand and find a program called Fast N Loud..  They're a shop in Tx that buys cars, fixes them and sells them.

So a guy shows up with a trailer and a wrecked F40 in the back.  The Fast N Loud guy says Wow - that's a million dollar car fixed up!  The seller wants $400K and the body is broken along each side and all the bodywork forward of the windshield is gone. 

I cannot imagine drivable F40 going for a million.  A broken one like this would bring more than 100K IMO - and I know almost nothing about the prices for this stuff.

There's not much on the net about prices other than 1 in UK with 42K miles for  £330 So I think my initial impression was right - that paid WAY too much for that car showing a complete ignorance for Ferrari values.  Of course the seller made out great!

Well, no more of that program!  Those guys are stupid!   Back to my tapes of Le Mans!   Let me know if my logic is wrong....

Take care -
LarryT
