Remember hearing about that Ferrari Enzo that crashed into a pole on the PCH in Malibu back in 2006? The crash split the car in half, and here's a clip of the news report that followed:

But as you know, crashing a Ferrari Enzo isn't like crashing most cars. Ferrari only built 400 Enzos, plus the extra one that was donated to the Vatican for charity. When the car came out in 2002, the price tag was an estimated $650,000. Now, it's significantly higher because of inflation, historical value, and dwindling numbers (because people keep crashing them.)

Ferrari wasn't about to let another Enzo go. That exact car, chassis 135564, is going on auction in Paris early next month for an estimated $2 million. [Update href='http://www.rmsothebys.com/pa16/paris/lots/2004-ferrari-enzo/1078446' target='_blank">it sold for $1.76 million.'] According to RM Sotheby's listing, the car's chassis was repaired by Ferrari technicians themselves and painted black. It currently has about 1500 miles on the odometer and "remains in virtually as-new condition and is ready to be enjoyed on the open road."

It doesn't seem like you'll need to check the Carfax for this particular Enzo. Not when its accident history was so widely publicized. We're glad that Ferrari was able to save this Enzo. It's a rolling piece of history that we (literally) cannot afford to lose.
