Only needs a little tender, loving care.

Duct tape, WD40, a little elbow grease and you're good to go....









This is what's left of a Ferrari 575 that formerly belonged to Uday Hussein

OMG the gullwing

Probably cost more to restore than to buy running

That was exactly my reaction. One of the best looking cars ever, left to rot.

I'd take the gullwing if they wanted it hauled away! Certainly seen worse.

Yeah, I'd take the gullwing if only to gut it, clean up the body and maybe put it in the backyard, make it into a kids climbing toy or something. That'd be pretty cool! Too expensive to restore, to beautiful to let rot.

Not really. Price a running one lately?

It looks complete/salvageable.

Would need to see interior and under the hood to know for sure.

The grill is there and that is a mother to find.

Missing drivers headlight trim but that's cake. I have a dozen in storage.

My other toy, the little sister. #7 off the line 1st production year.
