Transform Your Winter with a Body-Swapped Ferrari California Makeover
Winter Project Alert: Body-Swapped Ferrari California Up for Auction
If you’re looking for a winter project that’s sure to test your skills and dedication, look no further than this unique body-swapped Ferrari California up for auction on Cars & Bids. At first glance, the car may look like a dismantled classic Ferrari, but beneath its old-school body lies the chassis, drivetrain, and electronics of a 2010 California.
The Project
The seller has chopped up a clean, low-mileage 2010 Ferrari California and swapped its body with that of a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTE. The engine, however, remains the California’s stock 4.3-liter V8, which produces 453 horsepower and 357 lb-ft of torque. The engine is linked to a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission. While wiring a modern Ferrari can be an intimidating task, the seller has included a "52-page custom guide with instructions on completing the project."
What’s Included
The sale comes with a number of extras, including:
- A cool wooden buck with a template
- A "52-page custom guide with instructions on completing the project"
- Everything needed to wire the car
Auction Details
The auction is live on Cars & Bids, with a current bid of $6,000 and no reserve. Bidding will remain open for about six more days, so don’t miss your chance to snag this unique project.
What’s the Future of This Project?
We’ll be keeping an eye on this auction to see where it ends up. It’s a niche project, to say the least, but it’s certainly not every day you see a vintage Ferrari body grafted onto a modern California chassis.
