And even purchase a set of Speedline wheels from a rarer than rocking horse poop Ferrari F40 LM. Truthfully, the quantity of uncommon groove components out there for unique vehicles is mind-boggling. Right here’s only a style of what was dwell on the time of writing.
Ferrari
Right here’s a 458 Speciale engine, the costliest Ferrari merchandise listed that isn’t an precise automotive. The ultimate incarnation of Maranello’s naturally aspirated V8, it made 597 hp and revved to 9,000 rpm.
The complete Speciale solely price $298,000 when it was new, however today the vehicles change palms for upwards of $400,000, and also you’ll must half with $84,980 simply to bag this motor. Nonetheless, $100k all in and you might have the world’s first Speciale-powered Miata.
Transferring into the turbocharged period, how a couple of model new set of carbon fiber wheels? I appear to recollect Ferrari wouldn’t even allow us to attempt these on the street loop on the press launch as a result of they have been so apprehensive we’d trash them. Should you’ve trashed yours, you’ll be able to choose up this model new, boxed set for $27,500.
Sticking with the carbon fiber theme, this vendor claims to offer a set of carbon engine bay panels for a Ferrari 812 Superfast (although we’re undecided the automotive within the image has them). They are often yours for $13,546, and no, that doesn’t embody the engine. If you would like a V12 to go along with it, you’ll must throw in one other $60k.
It’s not usually you learn an outline for a automotive half and are available throughout the road “Matches the next fashions: 250 GT 2+2, 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso, 250 GTO” like we’re speaking a couple of set of Ford Focus brake pads. However that’s what it says within the itemizing for this model new, no-longer-available-from-the-factory Ferrari V12 crankshaft. A mere $18,256 takes it.
Rolls Royce
For $35,000, this haul of Rolls Royce parts gives the bumper, hood, grille, lights and fenders you’d must put a wrecked Wraith or Daybreak again on the road. Or possibly it’s crying out for some nut-job to bolt it onto the entrance of a Chrysler 300 and actually rile these up-tight Brits.
No marvel Rolls-Royce makes these Spirit of Ecstasy mascots retract beneath the hood line if you attempt to seize them: a standard silver winged woman might price you $3,250, and somebody’s making an attempt to promote a black one for over $7k.
So that you backed your Bentayga into your Cullinan whereas performing some rearranging of your 24-car storage, want a few headlights however are too imply to purchase new ones out of your native supplier? No drawback if you’ve received an eBay account. Getting our heads across the $16,000 invoice for this pair of used LED lamps is certainly presenting an issue, nonetheless.
It’s a Rolls Royce V12, however not the type you’re considering. Extremely, this $12k, 27-liter monster is certainly one of two RR Meteor engines constructed to energy navy tanks within the final century at the moment out there on eBay.
Bugatti
Sure, you’ll be able to even discover components for a Bugatti on eBay, together with a complete carbon fiber rear bumper for a Veyron, on offer at $14,285. The identical firm (ATD Sportscars) additionally has a rear fender ($12,855), hood ($8,650), and entrance bumper ($7,135), in case you actually did make an actual mess of leaving that automotive present.
Inserting this second ‘Velocity’ key within the Veyron added 40 mph to the Bugatti’s prime pace, so it should be value a minimum of an additional 30 mph in the event you wire it into your Supra’s console, proper? You’ll be able to buy it for $5,999, and for one more $6,999.99 you’ll be able to have the ignition key to go along with it.
We’ve owned loads of precise vehicles that price lower than this official Bugatti indoor car cover, however we guess in the event you can afford to drop $1 million on a sunny-days supercar, you in all probability wouldn’t assume twice about spending $3,000 to maintain the mud off its pristine paint.
And eventually, a pair of Veyron’s distinctive engine cover grilles is up for grabs. The vendor is asking $1700 for every one. We’re hoping somebody buys each and glues them to the again of a Fiero.
