Fast N' Loud Ferrari F40 restoration

ThePapi said:
"The right thing to do" was to not buy the car at all because the risk factor was too high. The owner could then part it out and buy another one.

But you know, it's a TV show so they're having fun with a car that lost a substantial part of it's value because of the crash. They're gaining exposure, pissing off kids who'll never own a Ferrari yet talk like they own the company. If you are going to be successful, a lot of people are going to talk shit about what you do, it's just a part of it.

If a brake job is a challenge for you, your opinion on this car is null and void, so just sit back and watch the show folks.

It's funny that ferrari forums are mostly positive about the project, and other general forums like MR populated by kids under 25 years old are negative about it.

The suspention upgrades will make it a track beast, and there is nothing wrong with that....it's an F40.

I think you have the wrong perspective of our discussion, I was referring to the business perspective of this particular project....i have seen all shows....they buy cars to fix, resell and make money....period!

In this case....whatever debates or opinions....the fact is that they ''supposedly'' paid 400k....and on OTHER forums as you mentionned....they say the car had MINUMUM 150k to 300k damage....that saying...with the ''modded'' version they did...lets just say the repairs cost minimum 100k....thats 500k total....COST....

Cant see how they will sell the car more than 500k....i just cant see it....

Your comments are not false...its a show...who knows what the REAL DEAL is...but as a project to make money....its not good...

''track beast'' ok sure....but for 500k....ill get a REAL track beast...also not too sure...im gonna track my F40 every weekend...just my 2 cents...

I understand the business perspective, but I don't care about it.

It's a great car show, not a failproof business model.

I like the F40 they came up with actually, it's obvious that the money spent VS profit expectancy is not the best, but a car show like this should have crazy shit in it, and the guys deliver and come up with mostly nice cars.

Fully agree...
 
It was actually discussed on some ferrari forums that the purchase of the car was totally staged! The deal was made previousky to that and they didnt evn pay close to 400k for the car

LOLOLOL.....listen, their business is about MAKING MONEY....they paid the fucking car 400K...SMASHED but with ''clean title''....you can get a MINT F40 for 750k today...

There is NO WAY IN HELL they will get even 500K for this piece of shit!! A F40 buyer is not on MR to go on Monday night or Tuesday Julep to show their modded F40 on ADVs....they buy F40 to have the most amazing classic ferraris made....

So that saying....the goal was to make money....in which THEY WONT!!! whatever they decided to do with this car...

Yep....i agree with that...
 
Here is what will pobably go down...Richards friend who loaned him the 400k is a very successful buisness man who owns Collins bros jeep parts in Texas. He's bought almost all of Gas Monkey's very expensive resto's. The F40 is going to him. Think about it, what better way to modify your own F40 you always dreamed about without feeling sorry about carving up a pristine one.
 
Can't wait to see the rest of that episode.

I think the car is sick in black....the red seat pop out!
Track monster for sure.

LED = maybe thwey look better IRL than in picture.

About the prices for this F40 or any other cars, if read it somewhere that most of the price in this show are not the actual price, but ''staged''
but can't confirn any of theses things....
