Buying the Last Ferrari Enzo produced (It was a Disaster!)

[@matthewperry3269]

EPA wanting an NA spec catalytic system installed, fair enough. Go to buy a used set, which is actually environmentally considerate. EPA says no, you need to waste more resources and buy new ones. Cool, love the logic.

You don’t want the used one to be modified so I can understand why it was a new one that would fit regulation.

It must be to protect domestic car production I assume..??? Here in UK with have MOT inspection every year .!!

I've heard stories that when someone crashes and totals an Enzo, Ferrari will sometimes take the Vin and re-assign the Vin number to another Enzo. There's some speculation among enthusiasts that Ferrari made a few more than 399 Enzo's reported. Very cool story none the less. Thank you.

Hindsight is 20-20 my friend. From the sound of it you handled a stressful purchase very well and the car went to someone who will keep it safe. I realize that shouldn’t really matter if your in the business of selling cars but if you love these cars as I think you do, it’s worth something it’s in good hands. Curious, the factory European exhaust, gauge cluster etc. Do the allow you to keep that so it can be sold and recover some of your investment or how was that handled in the end? Interesting and educating story, I enjoyed watching.

If a car is imported to USA under show and display and then ages pass the 25 year rule can the status change? Or is it like once it’s show and display it’s always that?

If you replace (or in case of the cat machine out & add new metal with laser) the number on it, some "nice tip" to the certified shop, nobody will notice... After all, all they need is "boxes checked" that's the mentality of bureaucrats.
