It seems all too often these days there are headlines of people with more money than driving skills wrecking some of the world’s rarest supercars. In March 2007 Redline star Eddie Griffin made such news when he wrecked a 2003 Ferrari Enzo, but luckily the story has come full circle with the damaged Enzo being nursed back to health.
According to Jalopnik, Texas’ Matt Groner has pieced the Enzo back together over the past several months and the car is now up for sale for a cool $1.3 million.
Although this particular Enzo’s journey could be up for the feel good exotic car story of the year, it almost never materialized. Groner – who typical buys wrecked top-end cars and sells them as is – had some problems prying the car from the hands of the previous owner and was on the fence about mending the once-great supercar. However, once Groner learned that the Enzo’s repairs were limited to bolt-on components, we went ahead with the project. $300,000 worth of parts and seven months later, the Enzo is once again road-worthy.
Groner notes that the $1.3 million price tag isn’t well below the asking price of most original Enzos, but added that his car has a story. “A pretty cool story though,” he said.
