Buy the Ferrari F50 That Was the Literal Model for the Bedroom Posters
Buy the Ferrari F50 That Was the Literal Model for the Bedroom Posters-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:49

I’ve always had mixed feelings about the . I feel like it didn’t get the love it deserved because it was overshadowed by the F40 and the Enzo. But also it had a goofy face that I couldn’t quite take seriously. I didn’t have any bedroom posters of it (I was an Enzo fan), but if you did, then here’s your chance to buy the one that wound up on all the bedroom posters.

This particular F50, with a chassis number ending in 99999, is the last Ferrari to have a five-digit serial number and was Ferrari’s show car at many events, including at its official reveal at the Geneva Motor Show in 1995. According to its listing on , the car had been tested on Ferrari’s Fiorano test track and on the roads around Maranello by test drivers like Dario Benuzzi, Niki Lauda, Gerhard Berger and Jean Alesi.

It’s also been the subject of countless factory posters, press photos, stock photos and some lovely cutaway drawings by Shin Yoshikawa. So, if you grew up with F50s posters on your wall, chances are that they were of this car. That part is extremely cool.

As with other F50s, Chassis No. 99999 has a 4.7-liter, 60-valve, naturally aspirated V12 and a six-speed gated manual gearbox. It has only 1,400 miles on the clock.

You’ll have to reach out to Autosport Designs if you want to know how much it is, though, because pricing is on request. Keep in mind that this car went for nearly $1.7 million . That should help you gauge how much it is now.

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...
