Have you been in the market for an undrivable, unfixable totaled Ferrari 599 GTB? Got an extra $50-100k burning a hole in your pocket? Today’s your lucky day.
Four years ago, soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo – then of Manchester United, now of Real Madrid – crashed his Ferrari 599 GTB into a wall while showing off to friends in a Manchester tunnel. Since then, some enterprising Frenchman has, I guess, been sitting on it in hopes of selling when the time is right, and four years after the fact is apparently that time. Soccer fans are nuts, so obviously some schmuck will overpay for the damn thing and some garage owner in southern France will make a ton of cash. The world’s a funny place.
The French owner initially tried to list the car on eBay last year, but eBay junked the auction for a security concerns and a “lack of provenance.” The owners claim they gave it to the auction site, the auction site claimed they never got it, lawyers got involved (eBay is, after all, an American company), and now the auction has been given a green light (and the owner got a nice chunk of change from eBay for all the hassle).
In other words, if you’ve been wanting a mangled Ferrari 599 GTB that did most certainly, proven-ly, definitely once get crashed into a slab of Manchester concrete by a famous soccer-er (soccer – the game with the round ball that you kick around, in case you were curious), your day has come. You can rest assured that The Hooniverse will always keep you up to date with any and all eBay insanity.
