I’d imagine that Ferrari was pissed at an F40 being saved meant there wouldn’t be one fewer F40 available, which meant F40 values wouldn’t go up. Ferrari company executives are just a bunch of snobby little bitches.
Let me educate you. Ferrari is mad because the less F40 their are the more value the cars left have. They want less of them for prestige and money nothing more
I remember watching thus rebuild. The chassis was meticulously sectioned and welded better than factory. It was a superb rebuild that gave the middle finger to Ferrari.

Owner claiming some wild story or someone posting it claiming the story I don't think it was the owner. I immediately pointed out to them the entire story of the car how Rawlings and Collins went into it together and then Dennis bought out Richard's half so that he could keep the car and posted multiple pictures and basically the dude bowed out LOL super badass car
Dennis went half on car with Richard and they restored the car, after the car was done restored, Dennis bought out Richard half of the ownership, so he basically bought the car from Richard....😅😂

You never really "save" a Ferrari, they never die. Return a car smashed like this to ferrari and they make you a new one or repair as applicable. What would the cost difference be? That i dont know or have any way to calculate. if you have a classic Ferrari and want to race it they will also help with that by providing spare units so you can both enjoy and protect your beloved car. Personally i like these programs from Ferrari, other then that they seem like a shot company to deal with so i cant imagine even for the cool things that they do i imagine its a pain to get done. Unless you crash an enzo anyway, apparently they really don't want any of them to die.
The problem is, the cars are just so fukkin great to drive. But you're right, the company on a whole has a lot to be desired. But God****, those cars are phenomenal to drive.
Ferrari had a choice here. They could embrace the love from their fans and support the project, they could ignore it, or they could spend their own energy trying to sabotage the project. And this is what they chose to do.
@sebbonxxsebbon6824 restricting services when it viable to do so, yes there is such a law under competition laws, depending on the country. So.e countries don't have competition law or constitutional laws.
@@sebbonxxsebbon6824I'm sure rubbing Ferrari's nose in a finished rebuild despite their best efforts against it is worth way more. The higher HP was just icing.
They don’t even have a choice or say in this. Let alone the petty one they did make. Given the car was wrecked during its time with a previous owner, and then sold off to Gas Monkey, it’s therefore categorized as a used car. So anything that Ferrari has to say about this project is null and void. Their rules state you cannot change stuff on it as the first owner. But sell it off to someone else, and those rules no longer apply anywhere.
They're owned as a company. They're owned by Fiat, later Merged into FCA, then later Stellantis. Non of them think Ferrari is over the top, or at least don't have control over that😅.
You lose some of the body details with black. But could have done a nice, darker red. But each their own. The car will change colors again is my guess.
Haha. No. It’s business. Ferrari’s business model is entirely different to Lamborghini and Porsche. Lamborghini resells the same gimmick to people over and over, like a fashion bag. They are only concerned with money. Ferrari’s business model intertwines their sport dedication with their untouchable status, because that’s what makes people buy them. They can’t afford to lose the “untouchable” status, that’s how they make money. This is not your BMW, engineering their cars to leak oil - Ferrari makes money their own unique way.

Because Ferrari has a department where they repair or secretly replace such wrecked cars, but usually at the market cost of the vehicle, which is, safe to say, way more than 300k
@@CinHalCedHerChanceYou (generally) can't buy a Ferrari without signing a contract that give Ferrari full control over the life of the vehicle (which this one appears to be exempt from due to the collision), including who you sell it to, the conditions of sale, full control of all alterations to the vehicle, and etc. They also have you work up the Ferrari ladder, you start with a less desireable or used Ferrari and work up to get the authorization to purchase rarer, newer, and or ( such as this one) more desireable models by proving your loyalty with your less desireable Ferrari. To put it simply Ferrari does not like that there is a rogue F40 on the roads that they can't control.
@mTwMarco Ferrari has sued people for painting their cars, even if they painted them black. The fact my comment has likes mean others understand it, I'm not sure why you don't.

Can you imagine the marketing opportunity they ignored? Make a phone call, invite the builders to the factory in Italy, and show off. Film it all, and then the F40 (and prancing horse) make news for a few weeks. Pretentious idiots!
When anyone can rebuild an f40, you begin to tank their resale value. Ferrari is just doing what's best for Ferrari and the people that buy them new. You really can't expect them to do anything else.
I remember this episode, but I recall that they actually got some sort of Official Ferrari certification by the end of the build. Something they received from Maranello I think.
Glad they fixed it up. Growing up, the 40 was one of my favorite cars. I bet the driver that wrecked the 40 was a risk taking dentist that wanted to impress one of his hot dental assistants. You know the type. Back in 2012 i made a wager with a dude that was talking crazy about how fast his Ferrari, a California i think. He wanted to post the fastest time that day on U.S. 129/ the Dragon and i just wanted to get back to where i was camping, was on a braut/steak run and was ready to get back. People were up there that morning to race, even photo/video cars were in spots to record and sell footage. Bro was boasting big time saying he could beat every car waiting.We agreed on $400 (the max cash either of us had). After talking for a while it seemed that almost all of his driving experience was in south Florida and mine was in the hills of North Carolina and Tennessee. Wary of a random motorcycle or car i kept it in my lane the entire time and finished in just over (edit:under)24 minutes . I waited a while and finally pulled up with damage to his driver's side (definitely went over the line in that direction)and smelled of oil. Asked him if he was ok and if he needed help, i was genuinely concerned. Told me get lost and never paid me saying it wasn't the car but a medical issue, wth? someone said he got motion sick from all the braking and turning. Basically my near stock (cheap turbo, fuelpump and exhaust puts out about 180hp). This 5sp '97 Subaru Outback Sport beat a Ferrari . 2025 now with 346,000 miles now and 3rd gear is still stupid for what it is 😊
Bro, i used to want a ferrari, but when I know ferrari likes to sue people, I didn’t really think of that much cuz example Justin Bieber when he was sued, I was like “Oh, ok that makes sense u couldn’t change the company’s logo” but when people are trying to help or mod their ferraris and got sued, that is why I’d rather have an old BMW instead or maybe have a better sports car like Nissan 350z or good old Porsche
I watched this episode and one thing I found cool is when they had finished straightening the frame, they got it laser straight (better than factory). These guys are talented for sure🤘🏻
Sorry to be that guy. But Gas monkey did none of the repairs to the chassis. They sourced the work out to a certified Ferrari repair facility. So all they did was put it back together and paint it.
Rubbish - I watched the episodes - they couldn’t get the chassis completely straight and ended up having to cut and move an engine mount where it was still badly bent!

A guy her in Australia had an f50. I think Queensland. He took it for a drive. Lost control smashing it to pieces every where. No insurance. Poor bloke was picking bits and pieces with news cameras in his face
If they had done a stock restoration would have been worth more. As it's not a factory restoration, serious high-end collectors won't touch it, hence costing GMG money on the sale in the long run.
@ oh Porsche has similar tactics don’t you worry, Porsche won’t service your car on the engine if you over rev the engine. (Keep in mind the engine still runs fine
When you buy a Ferrari, you’re not just purchasing a car, but an engineering masterpiece. The control over modifications is meant to preserve its value and uniqueness, ensuring it doesn’t become "just another brand" that cares little about its reputation and focuses solely on profit. Ferrari willingly turns down potential wealthy clients to prioritize its NAME above all else. It’s this dedication that makes it an icon and not a mass-market product. Questo è ciò che voi americani non capirete mai.
i had the opportunity to be driven in a F40, this car is a BEAST, the v8 weld you to the sit with an incredible force, god, i'm a bit mad i was too young to drive it lol
Time to collect every Ferrari in every racing game available and give each of them a total makeover. Big wing, custom bodykit, crayola rainbow paint then collect screenshots of them to send to Ferrari with the statement: "Once I'm a trillionaire, this will be my end goal for each of the Ferrari cars I'm going to be buying from your company. Might as well exempt your cars from video games because everyone does this."
Or the fact that Chevrolet builds better engines? AND cars? And that's why they had to get license from GM to copy the Corvette's magneto-rheological active dampers? And everybody & Hyundai (& Volvo!🤣🤣🤣) now ALSO use variable valve timing, turbocharging & supercharging (like Volvo, who use all three at the same time to get ≈400HP out of a 2.0 litre 4-banger...in a high volume production car? In an Estate/"Station Wagon"???🤣🤣🤣 Memo to Ferrari: the 1980's have been over for about 35 years now, the last time your cars were the least bit special in terms of performance compared to those from the large multinational automakers. That, despite the fact that any one of them made more cars in 10 minutes than you made in 10 months!🤪
@ I don’t really care what a Ferrari can do on paper outside of being an 90th percentile sports car. It’s the intangibles that matter. I know other people don’t see it that way though so they’ll continue to get strange looking cars that check boxes on paper.
WRONG - Ferrari is a majority public owned company. 10% is owned by Enzo Ferrari’s son , Piero Ferrari. About 20% is owned by a Dutch company owned by descendants of the Agnelli family, who were part of the original founders of Fiat. Fiat did indeed own Ferrari at one time . Outbid Ford to keep the company Italian. Watch the movie Ford vs Ferrari and get an idea how this transpired. Mr. Ferrari was a very shrewd businessman.

See this is the exact reason I don't purchase Ferraris! 😂😂😂
That f40 is a fucking masterpiece absolutely beautiful
I miss his mechanic, one of the best mechanics in the world. Once his mechanic left, the show kinda went to shit. They built some really really nice cars get your old mechanic back find a way to make it work. If he’s willing to come back, you guys were awesome together don’t let money or control. Get in the way of business you started with nothing. Everything 50-50 shouldn’t be a problem.
Your talking about Aaron he left over money and feeling overworked. He had his own show for a bit but it didn't last.
A guy her in Australia had an f50. I think Queensland. He took it for a drive. Lost control smashing it to pieces every where. No insurance.
Poor bloke was picking bits and pieces with news cameras in his face
Ferrari is the only car company that sees someone trying to rebuild a beautiful classic, and decides to try and stop it.
That car looks so mad! I love it bro❤.
Coolest F40 in existence, Ferrari only brought more attention to it, making it even more valuable.
Cooler than the liberty walk one?
@jaydenstramel562
Yes.
If they had done a stock restoration
would have been worth more.
As it's not a factory restoration, serious high-end collectors won't touch it, hence costing GMG money on the sale in the long run.
Ferrari is like an apple in car industry.
Worse. ALOT worse.
Every body is gangster until real Italian gangsters walk in.😂😂😂
Car equivalent of Nintendo, Ferrintendo would be a good collab ngl 😂😂😂
Don't mess with Richard ........he's a king and cool as ice......LOVE Gasmonkeys
This why i well go porsche
Porsches all look the same, not a lot of variation.
@DandZBee at lest I'm not having to find parts around the world because the company whats to make a pretty penny on a car
@ oh Porsche has similar tactics don’t you worry, Porsche won’t service your car on the engine if you over rev the engine. (Keep in mind the engine still runs fine
@DandZBee still porsche
@dylanlevy-iw4cz I’m not saying that you shouldn’t not like Porsche, I’m saying that Porsche and Ferrari are not much different in wanting money.
Love the cars love the company don't like the rules Ferrari has anger issues
Looks better in black
Worth every penny to rebuild that.
Ferrari made the correct choice, protecting its heritage.
Who is someone to tell you what you can and cannot do with something that you bought?
Its the same thing Rolex does. They are just a bunch of elitest douche bags.
540 may not seem like a crazy amount of hp but the weight and suspension plus aerodynamics of that car makes it almost equal to 1000hp....
When you buy a Ferrari, you’re not just purchasing a car, but an engineering masterpiece. The control over modifications is meant to preserve its value and uniqueness, ensuring it doesn’t become "just another brand" that cares little about its reputation and focuses solely on profit. Ferrari willingly turns down potential wealthy clients to prioritize its NAME above all else. It’s this dedication that makes it an icon and not a mass-market product. Questo è ciò che voi americani non capirete mai.
Dammm you guys are winning with that! Less than 700k to rebuild to your liking!! 🙌🏼
i had the opportunity to be driven in a F40, this car is a BEAST, the v8 weld you to the sit with an incredible force, god, i'm a bit mad i was too young to drive it lol
Only if Aaron Kaufman stuck around the man needs his own show
Aaron got his own show unfortunately it wasn't a successful show
And now he just makes odd parts for old f trucks
@@davidbarnsley8486I think Kaufman was on drugs, the fall is insane 😢.
Time to collect every Ferrari in every racing game available and give each of them a total makeover. Big wing, custom bodykit, crayola rainbow paint then collect screenshots of them to send to Ferrari with the statement:
"Once I'm a trillionaire, this will be my end goal for each of the Ferrari cars I'm going to be buying from your company. Might as well exempt your cars from video games because everyone does this."
That’s good. Ferrari doesn’t like to make money.😂
Karrenri mad that he couldn't make such a masterpiece
Rari did the equivalent of a kid only wanting to play with a toy, when another kid comes over and has interest in it… that’s diabolical work 😂
$700k for a multi-million dollar car is well worth the time and money. Probably built better than new at that point as well.
Looks good in black
Ironically the F80/V6 power plants have done more damage to their reputation than any aftermarket restoration ever could.
Or the fact that Chevrolet builds better engines? AND cars? And that's why they had to get license from GM to copy the Corvette's magneto-rheological active dampers? And everybody & Hyundai (& Volvo!🤣🤣🤣) now ALSO use variable valve timing, turbocharging & supercharging (like Volvo, who use all three at the same time to get ≈400HP out of a 2.0 litre 4-banger...in a high volume production car? In an Estate/"Station Wagon"???🤣🤣🤣
Memo to Ferrari: the 1980's have been over for about 35 years now, the last time your cars were the least bit special in terms of performance compared to those from the large multinational automakers. That, despite the fact that any one of them made more cars in 10 minutes than you made in 10 months!🤪
@ I don’t really care what a Ferrari can do on paper outside of being an 90th percentile sports car. It’s the intangibles that matter. I know other people don’t see it that way though so they’ll continue to get strange looking cars that check boxes on paper.
I personally would love to see Stellantis buy Ferrari.
Fiat owns Ferrari, stellantis owns Fiat.
@Tiltglory well they aren't doing a very good job of bankrupting Ferrari. They need to step it up.
WRONG - Ferrari is a majority public owned company. 10% is owned by Enzo Ferrari’s son , Piero Ferrari. About 20% is owned by a Dutch company owned by descendants of the Agnelli family, who were part of the original founders of Fiat.
Fiat did indeed own Ferrari at one time . Outbid Ford to keep the company Italian. Watch the movie Ford vs Ferrari and get an idea how this transpired. Mr. Ferrari was a very shrewd businessman.
Why was the auuugh so satisfying and funny 😂
Ferrari is so proud of themselves….took exception to someone outside of their company rebuilding a car they made.
Good to see Gabriel Byrne doing well in his second career.
I remembered Richard being worried he spent to much in total for it 😂
One of the best f40s ever looked so.good in black
6:18 I saw that primal instinct of fear from when both sets of trap doors opened lol
Who does not like this? Wow very cool
Why does the car sound like the aughhhhh meme
No matter what enthusiast and collectors are saying, this car looks AWESOME NOW !
Worst welds in the industry are out of Ferrari! That F40 is probably loads better than original.
thats a dedication. that f40 worth than a regular f40
Looks awesome in black
That's why Ford not once but twice had to show Ferrari up. Smoked them on the track. 😂😂😂. Only American car Company to do so.
That’s a beautiful car 😮
I love it👏🏾
I hope in some universe this car becomes the Batmobile.
Excellent way to tell Ferrari to go “Ferrari themselves”!! 😂
