Unleash the Icon: 1980s Enzo Ferrari’s Rare Company Car for Sale on Facebook Marketplace
The Enzo Ferrari Prototype for Sale on Facebook Marketplace: A Rare Opportunity or a Scam?
As a car enthusiast, I’m not one to kick tires on a car I’m not serious about buying. But, I have to admit, the prospect of purchasing a 1962 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 prototype, once owned by Enzo Ferrari himself, is a tantalizing one. Listed on Facebook Marketplace for a cool $865,000, this ultra-rare car is a true gem.
A Rare Find
The 330 GT 2+2 was a groundbreaking car in its time, featuring a sleek Pininfarina-designed body and a powerful 4.0-liter V12 engine producing 300 horsepower. This particular car, with chassis number 4085, is the first prototype ever built and has been extensively restored. The seller claims to have documentation verifying both its previous ownership and restoration, making this a rare opportunity for any Ferrari collector.
The Fishy Feeling
As I gazed upon the car’s listing, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something wasn’t quite right. This kind of ultra-rare, high-end classic car typically doesn’t end up on Facebook Marketplace. It’s usually auctioned off at prestigious houses, with high-end photography and documentation to match. The lack of professional photography and detailed documentation has left me wondering if this is a genuine sale or a scam.
A Test Drive, Perhaps?
Despite my reservations, I’m tempted to treat this like any other Marketplace listing and roll up to the car’s location asking for a test drive. Maybe I’ll even offer an ’09 3 Series as a trade-in (just kidding, or am I?). Who knows, maybe I’ll stumble upon a rare gem or, at the very least, a great story to share.

The Verdict
Is this a genuine sale or a scam? Only time will tell. As a car enthusiast, I’ll keep an eye on this listing and see if any more information becomes available. In the meantime, if you have any tips or insights, feel free to send them to [email protected].
