    Not an easy car/shape to replicate into an existing road car donor chassis, so a lot of hard work has gone in to it originally, whether that was misguided or not is another matter all together! :)

    Not exactly related, but I know of an idiot in Greece who destroyed a perfectly good 360 Modena in order to make an abominable F50 replica...

    Either way, Bill's F50 is stunning, and no, it is definitely not the accident F50.

    I came across this interesting video. I'm guessing there aren't many silver US F50's:

    Christmas Day in Rome...red one out for exercise on Via Nomentana...
    Sorry no pix; was crammed in cab w wife + daughter and couldn't reach phone in time.
    Incredible to see one "in the wild". 60° F in Rome, nice sunny day, top off.
    Memorable. Merry Christmas!

    You can see here from Instagram , some photos from back in September possibly when they bought the car and photo'd it in quarry.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/BZBE78VlxX-/

    The other silver F50 mentioned earlier is owned by Nick Leventis as seen in this YouTube video hear he tries to use it as a daily driver as much as possible.


    Both clearly different cars from the interior pics, but which if any was the suspected car involved in the accident is out for debate.

    Again, the silver F50 which is imaged above in this thread after an accident is not the Loughran F50.

    The one in the video is #104755 (see the 3 min, 8 sec mark in the video). The Silver one you might be thinking of which was repainted is #104149, which was shown by Richard Kurtz at 2003 Cavallino XII. When 104149 was shown at Cavallino XII, it had been already repainted Silver as part of its rebirth (i.e. 104149 had sustained major damage which necessitated some fairly major repairs - - I'm fairly certain it was not born Silver, etc.).

    104149 was born red, later became black, then silvergrey.

    Yeah I was wondering it this was the crashed silver US car or the uncrashed one. Or a resprayed car.

    Does anyone have dyno graph for the F50?

    I found one with google images but the page source doesn't exist anymore.

    Does this look like accurate dyno?

    That one is from the press book. It is realistic but not from an actual dyno bench

    That looks like the service department at Wide World of Cars. Which would lead me to suspect the F50 is likely #104119.

    Maybe I just can't locate it with the search, but was surprised there is no discussion in this thread or in the Supercars forum of the upcoming sale of the very storied "F50K", black F50 - chassis 104799. Interestingly it's being offered without Reserve through Bonhams in Scottsdale next weekend and they have placed an estimate of $1.5-1.8M on it.

    http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/24452/lot/54/

    In their catalog description they do mention the car's 2013 accident and subsequent repairs carried out in Italy, but neglect to mention that a new engine was sourced and installed in 2008 by Ferrari of Houston at a cost of over $130k. Photos of the accident damage exists in this thread - it took a hard hit to the nose - and at the time there were unconfirmed claims made that the tub was damaged. Bonhams' description doesn't indicate that there was any, only noting that the original chassis remains with the car.

    Curious what the collective here expect as far as results? Estimate seems to be at least a million less than another example that has lived a less adventurous life, so would you buy it?
