How do you move a 20 million dollar car?
I drove this F40...for about 50 feet.
It was owned by the owner of the building I worked out of who used it as storage for all his collector cars. The curator of his collection was a sweet old man who was a retired Cadillac mechanic. He would take the cars out every 6 months to start them and drive them around the block, or less. He liked me so he let me pull this one out of the building (not that hard, the door was 30 feet wide). He then took the hot 26 year old office manager for a ride around the block. 5 minute later he came back in dragging the right front tire the last 10 feet. Seems the caliper froze on him (turned out to be a swollen shut brake line) That was the last run it made as he later found out the kevlar timing belt was rotted (from no use, it had like 270 miles on it) and required the motor to be pulled to change it out. He also found one of the in tank fuel pumps went out. It was built into the carbon fiber fuel tank and required it to be cut out to be replaced. He was a smart guy so he hit it with 18V about 50 times and it finally let loose. It sold in 2012 for $710,000. He had a more valuable $2M Ferrari 288 GTO but I wasn't around when he took that one out. https://jalopnik.com/283-mile-ferrari-f40-sells-for-710-000-5878055
