Enzo Ferrari's company car has ended up on Facebook Marketplace

I wonder if the proud Enzo Ferrari would turn his grave if he could see what has become of his company car, a Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 from 1962 on Facebook.

Enzo Ferrari's company car – a prototype of the Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 – has recently been put up for sale on Facebook Marketplace .

The car, which once belonged to the Ferrari founder himself, appears as a rarity in automotive history that it is. If the story about it is good enough.

Just this Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 has in its time been given the chassis number 4085 and, according to the seller, is the very first example of the model.

The car was designed by Pininfarina and combines classic lines with a functional cabin that, in 1960 measurements, could accommodate four adults.

It is equipped with a 4-liter V12 engine with three carburetors, which produced 300 horsepower from the factory. The top speed was an impressive 245 km/h, which was blistering 62 years ago.

The seller claims the car has been restored for a staggering $285,000. This corresponds to 2 million Danish kroner.

That's what The Drive writes.

The money is used to keep the car in its current condition. In addition, documentation must be included that both confirms the car's previous ownership and its entire restoration history.

If these claims hold water, the car is likely to attract buyers willing to pay a significant sum to be and own a part of Ferrari history.

However, it is unusual to see such a rare and historically important car listed for sale on a platform like Facebook Marketplace. Cars of that caliber are typically sold by reputable auction houses that specialize in classic livery and offer detailed descriptions and professional photography.

That the car has instead ended up in a place where you can pick up a rusty Honda Civic that was black from the factory for the scrap metal prize.
