Searching for listings on auction sites like Copart and IAA can be a wonderful way to locate crazy bids, as long as you’re willing to put in a little effort to repair a vehicle. This Ferrari 360 Modena 2004, however, will put that will at the service of testing.
Offered for sale through IAA, this V8-powered Ferrari is for sale in Florida, where he went swimming. The quick cases that led him to be underwater are unclear; It is not indicated whether it was accidentally thrown into a water frame or flooded. However, that’s a bit academic.
Somehow, the 360 Modena did not enjoy its rainy adventure and is now, to use a technical mechanical term, disgusting. Photos of the Ferrari’s interior show that the seats, center console and dashboard are covered in green mold, which, in addition to being disgusting, can make it a biohazard.

Declared damaged, it is not known how much more damage it caused to the vehicle. So in addition to being disgusting, it’s also a gamble, especially since smart Ferraris are expensive to maintain, so the thought of looking to fix a damaged one shakes. My bank account with fear.
If his abdomen (and his bank account) is more powerful than mine, you might get a screaming deal for this Ferrari, which could potentially break up or, as IAA posts on Facebook, be the basis of a pretty good race car. Imagine appearing in a lemon race with the Ferrari 360 Moldena.
It would possibly be worth it, because somewhere beneath all that mold, there’s a 3. 6-liter Ferrari V8 that once produced 395 hp (294 kW/400 hp) and 275 lb-ft (373 Nm) of torque. While it doesn’t look like having a manual transmission, it’s still a mid-engine supercar.
Can you save this Ferrari or did they just abandon it like Jack at the end of the Titanic?
