Nicole Simpson's Ferrari? Did I buy it?

Carfax shows 3 records. Perhaps if someone has an account, they can check it out.

 

Very interesting. Just saw this. I'll carfax the vin.

 

All California. This seems to be the most credible evidence so far.

Strange.

Palmdale is a long way from Brentwood.

And the license plate # in the will is not the LA4AD8.

 

I bet it's somewhere in a dark garage on four flat tires, maybe next to a dead riding mower, under a few pairs of skis, and it gets shown off once in a blue moon by someone who thinks it's their ticket to riches.

 

Yes it is....that is rather bizarre.....where is Nick Danger, Third Eye when you need him?

 

The VIN is incorrect on that document.

Can we still trust the chassis number?

 

Tommy how do know that the vin on that document is incorrect? How can one find out the color combo of the 86?

 

Apparently the "check number" is incorrect. The 9th digit should be a 3 not a 1.

Interestingly, this is the number that is used by the Feds to make sure the VIN isn't a fake so according to the VIN rules, this VIN is fake.

I'm not claiming it is a fake one. I have no earthly idea, I'm just simply pointing out the VIN doesn't check out per Federal laws.

edit:
It checks out on one website, but not on a second site I plugged it into

 

According to this site, it appears to be fine
ZFFXC26A160059667 Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet 2006 - VinDecoderz.com is a free VIN number lookup and vehicle history report provider

This one says it is in error
Red Headed - VIN Decoder

 

That's awesome work, mate...thanks!

 

Interesting.

Yeah

Something is still a little squirrely there.

 

It would definitely not be the first Ferrari with an incorrect VIN. (If that is the case) A legal document would seem to end this discussion, but why the different plate ? (i.e. not the plate L84AD8 that is usually attributed to this car) Maybe the plate was changed at some point. As was pointed out, can we then trust the VIN? I've got nothing on 59667 other than 1986 US 3.2. Cab. Perhaps someone who focuses on Mondials or Carbon knows something....

 

Yep

Doesn't matter, it shows the car as an 86 not 87. And secondly she could have simply changed the plate at some point.

 

the # on the posted document is ZFFXC26A160059667

Capital letter G and the number 6 are reasonable to get confused. Searching the info for model year under digit #10 says G for 1986.

Run ZFFXC26A1G0059667 and this is what you get

Red Headed - VIN Decoder

Screen fo decoded vin wont paste for me, but with a G in the place of a 6 everything else falls into place

 

Bottom. line if Flynn did not put "plaintiff's exhibit" sticker on manual then jmbarba has a case for fraudulent inducement.

 

This makes perfectly good sense, especially if the G/6 swap cleans everything else up.

 

Brad, I'm not defending the OP's car as being NBS car at all. I think that this will inventory list clearly shows it is a different car. I just know that the amount of errors in DMV/Carfax reporting is much higher than people generally think. My point about the plate was more that nobody seemed to remember the plates being changed. I think its a moot point, and this thread should be morphed into.. where is 59667?

 

True, but I wouldn't consider OJ's ex-wife changing her plate number as newsworthy or something to remember had it happened LOL. Just saying

Can't argue with that, but he was at least wise enough to use the term "believed to be" although that is also a bit of a stretch. Really, the only compelling piece of evidence he had was that sticker, but he had no hard proof to tie that to anything. It was all speculation from the get go. There was not one hard piece of evidence to tie it to that 1994 trainwreck. I'm just surprised that the real owner stayed quiet while TMZ, etc. ran that story. But hey, whoever has it probably just didn't see the news about it. That car will resurface one of these days.

 

O.J.'s (ex)wife changing her plates would not be newsworthy, but that plate was infamous and everyone knew it was her. It just seems odd that there is a different plate on the will. It's prob in some storage facility..

 

Agreed. Finally starting to make some sense, although with all of the twists and turns this thread has taken it still may not be the tidy resolution we've been looking for.

 

soneone run a carfax on ZFFXC26A1G0059667

ZFF= Italy
X= US version 3.2 engine (328/mondial Cab)
C= 3 pt front belts, 2 pt rear
26= Model, Mondial Cab
A= US spec LHD
1= Check digit (as per vin decoder, 1 is correct for this vin)
G= Model year G=86, H=87, J=88 (those are the only options for 3.2 cabs)
0= Plant, Maranello
059667= Serial/chassis number
