Eric 39,617 Posted November 25, 2020 That is a Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale Scaglietti. The 275 GTB/C Speciales range in value from around $800k, to more than $25 million. This car was probably nearer the lower end of the price spectrum, but it’s owner may well have been in the bushes opening a vein, when that pic was taken. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerbie18 1,246 Posted November 25, 2020 Is there even a hope for fixing it at that point? It reminds me of Colonel Potter shooting his jeep to put it down. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im sure someone took a shot at it. I’ve seen worse wrecks repaired and there is certainly the financial incentive there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GT4494 345 Posted November 26, 2020 Reminds me of my in-laws. They had a Honda Accord. After a driver failed to stop behind them the car turned into a Honda "Accordian"... Quote 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
holyjohnson 6,233 Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) Nurburgring and Old Ferrari's do not mix. hand reforming the Aluminum will cost as much as paying another owner to Pattern off of Theirs, and even then it will never be the same because it was hand built one at a time by Pininfarina and each one is unique. that was the first year for the GTB/C to have the 4 Cam V12 to compete with the Daytona Coupes. and the production was slowed drastically then stopped to complete the P-Cars to try and Beat the Ford Gt`s in 67/68. Which Ferrari couldn't do, the new V12 and reduced production makes that a rare car, bet the Insurance guy was pissed.

minervadoe 2,635 Posted December 3, 2020 I have to imagine that this was track related and they signed a waiver. Was it intentional that the photo was taken next to some dumpsters? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
