Gas Monkey F40 sells for $585k at Barrett Jackson

Yes, but it was customized (ruined IMHO) by gas monkey garage. Custom Ferraris are not liked.

 

People are only willing to pay what they think it's worth. Look at the 360 stradale that went for I think just over 100k. Ferraris are worth big money to ferrari fans and collectors. Others..not so much.

 

IIRC, Reggie bought it for $685k a year ago.

 

I remember watching those episodes. I like the show. I'm a big fan of OEM... So I doubted they had a buyer back then for 900k. It ended up being Dennis buying it. Looks like at a loss...

It didn't sell from what I heard. The car had a reserve.

 

That 360CS was in an accident involving the rear end according to the car fax. That's why it went so low.

 

Mistake imo. Europe is about to devalue Euro and 1989 F40s are legal to import to the U.S. now (25 year DOT exemption).

 

This was the first F-40 that after being modified looked worse then a Fiero replica of an F-40.

 

what are the details of the 89? the description at the BJ website is as useful as 2 tits on a bull

 

Depends on the bull!

 

It's a Euro version.

 

Correct.

This market is amazing

 

Clean title but rebuilt after accident, sold for $84k plus premium.
Still a bargain.....

 

This F40 has lots of misconceptions about it and what has been done.

I can speak about generalities.

I am one of VERY FEW that can say this, and even have this confirmed, but I was right next to the car just before the "incident" and also looking at the car just after.

I think the sale price of this car was "low" for a car like this, but also know what had to be done to make it right. I think the tv documentation has hurt this car, as well as how it was presented.

Knowing what they started with, it can all be redone, but I really question how and what was redone.

There is far more to this car than was ever presented. Both good and bad.

I normally say, "Everybody loves a story", but in this case, I am guessing bids didn't agree...

+1.

 

so the 975k no sale was a euro and accident car? interesting

 

Mileage was in KM, also notice the rear fog lights in the bumper that obviously US cars didn't come with

If I had the money, I'd buy this car in a heartbeat...I'm definitely more of a purist, but considering it had an accident, a little mods aren't a deal breaker.

Unfortunately, I couldn't afford one if I pooped gold, so that's out.

Do want to hear more about the "good and bad" of the car though!

 

I hear this car maybe for sale ??
