Ferrari F40 spotted in Malibu, California

Details on This Ferrari F40:

  • Location
    Malibu, California
  • Description
    I couldn't believe my eyes.. This insane black F40 was spotted leaving the Malibu Country Mart. Yes, this is the infamous "Gas Monkey" car that was originally wrecked, rebuilt, and resprayed black. Clearly this F40 has been modified a lot and the pop-up headlights were replaced with vents. I have heard a lot of rumors about the current owner being unfriendly but I never talked to him so I'm not going to judge. Spotting an F40 is already difficult enough but any other color than red is nearly impossible.

I absolutely love this thing. Except for the headlights being replaced...it does give it a cool "lm" look, but come on, who doesn't love pop ups?

Wow, cool to see that that car is still around. I wonder if anyone has seen the GT they did?

@Mazdafreak: Yes-Reggie Jackson used to own it but said the car was "too fast" for him and sold it.
@EB-01: That's a legit Shelby GT350.
@FOSC: The owner doesn't drive it often but at least this car isn't a "Garage Queen".

VW made the Type II, which is the classic "peace" van/bus, then replaced it in the U.S. market with the Vanagon, which was then replaced by the Eurovan. We used to have a Eurovan with a very hard-to-find manual transmission.

@Mazdafreak I thought that body style was named a 'EuroVan'? I'm not talking about a specific model, just the vehicle class.

Awesome find! Wasn't it owned by former baseball player Reggie Jackson?

And @waddle2gracious, that is a Vanagon ;)

Rare to see two black F40s spotted within a span of about 3 weeks. Paris, and now this one. IMO the one found in Paris looks better.

EuroVan anyone?
