The idea of dropping a mint condition 6.2 L Lamborghini V12 into a mid-engine Vegamino is pure sex, but in order to get there, a supercar must die. How are you going find such a donor? Well, Eurospares seem to be just the place to find those tasty morsels of fine Italian delights. Absolutely wonderful for modern car pickers, but it's damn horrifying to see a burned out 1967 Ferrari 365 GT or the shell of a Maserati 3500. Clicking through the inventory is an exercise in exclaimation: Nooooo! Awesome!

Cars of the kids of the rich and famous...
That Ferrari chopped in half is kinda scary looking.
This one did not end well...
[www.eurospares.co.uk]
I haven't seen this many crushed Italians since the '94 World Cup final.
I heard it's owned by someone named Dieter.
Carrs? John Mark was involved? We know he dependable he is...
Thats painful to watch.There is a breakers yard near where i live that has Jamiroquai's smashed up purple Lamborghini Diablo,its so well known where i live it has almost become a shrine.[www.lambocars.com]
Well, at least the usable guts have a chance to live on in other cars ... unlike a bunch of Mazdas ...
Just the place to use to source and engine for when I make my dream come true of installing a Ferrari engine in an Alfa.
Option 1: Dino V6 engine in '74 or earlier Spider. Give the car the sound it sorely needs. Why not use an Alfa V6? Because it's a frickin Ferrari engine!
Option 2: 308/328 engine in GTV6. These cars are so funky looking, some Magnum-inspired style in the engine compartment could only help.
Option 3: 308/328 engine in Saab 9000. Hey, if Lancia made it fit in the Thema (platform mate of the 9000), I can make it fit the 9k!
Looking at that Ferarri 400, it appears that Raymond Babbitt is not the excellent driver he purported to be.
the 400i is in amazing shape
I think we can stop the Project Car Hell post everyday....i think we have found the CENTER of hell.
They've got Jezza's Merak "SS" from the Budget Italian Supercars Top Gear episode...
[www.eurospares.co.uk]
A few of the cars look quite repairable. Others...not so much.
Anyway, I believe the proper thing to do is to get one of those Ferrari engines into a Fiero.
Not a kit car, but a stock looking Fiero. That would rule!
@Red AuerБЯд╒╒: Looks like it didn't front well to me.
zing.
This is what the Nick Hogan fantasy Garage looks like.......
It's kind of like that whole "Die doing what you love." sort of thing. Not for the people driving the cars, but for the cars themselves. I'd rather a car be driven and enjoyed than locked away, and sometimes this is the unfortunate consequence of that enjoyment.
The dash photo of the Maserati Kyalami has a piece of sheer genius embedded in its crusty leatherette - a small light saying:
STOP BRAKE FAILURE
Three words you really don't want to see in the same sentence, physically and psychologically..
Hey Jalopnikers!
Can you guys please try and remember that the rest of us are trying to hold down jobs where it isnt part of the job description to spend hours looking at websites for wrecked or restored exotic cars, ring racers, mat black automobiles and classic rally cars....
Can you just try and make this site a little bit less interesting, so i can at least pretend to do my day job?
ta muchly!
@Kuang: if you look closely, there's also a piece of the previous owners scalp.
@Kuang: I was looking at that, too. "Engine runs/complete." Or a Ferrari 400i with a blown exhaust. I think I've found my own, local, PCH.
(20 comments in and no "that'll buff right out"? Must be hump day.)
@ShastaMcNasty: Ha! Good eye!
Any for less than $500. I'd love to show up at lemons texas with a Ferarri 250GT
If you look at the interior of that Maserati you'll see the speedo pegged at 140mph and the tach at near 6k.
Wonder if the insurance company noticed that...
Drive fast, leave a good looking corpse.
Well, 1 out of 2 ain't bad. It's hard to imagine how people walked away from some of these.
i shall hoon more than any of you wou7ld dream of in my 6.2lL lamborghini V12 powered 2cv
would it fit in a seven?
@seanaron: I'm sure the owner's estate and the insurance company reached a settlement.
FFrom the looks of the driver's side and the top I would guess the driver lleft under a sheet.
Someone has to say it ... That'll buff right out!
Every time you masturbate, God wrecks an Enzo. Please, think of the Enzos.
@P161911: or with some sheet in his pants.
Damn, damn, I was getting ready to feign illness, borrow may dad's old pickup and head for mechanical Valhalla, then I realized they're all RHD, because they're all in ENGLAND! Don't think a '72 F-series is gonna tow one of these bad boys home from there. If anyone has large boat heading that way I'll take the 356 GT and start the LHD conversion, thank you kindly
Aftermath of a dragon gang
@Bruno V: Someone has to stop saying it, although I've been guilty in the past...
If I had money
I'd buy one of these
and...then just leave it in my lawn as art work, or inside my house. You know...like a Redneck but classy.
I knew something didn't sound right, I and Ben both stand corrected, it's a 1967 365GT (not 356 as previously reported) and it carreis the Queen Mary desgination , whatever that means.
Speaking of queens, check out the 8-track copy of Elton John live in the '65 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2, somewhere a London coke dealer is missing his best alternative lifestyle client. This car look pretty good, once you get past the quad headlights, wonder why its getting scavanged...
Man, each one of this things could tell quite a story.
@eastaboga: 365GT Queen Mary means it is a huuge boat of a Ferrari.
Otherwise I see nothing in those photos that is unacceptable.
@eastaboga: damn, hands like frying pans.
Well now at least you all know what my personal "Heaven" looks like. You know, the one I dream about when I sleep. oh and Dragon Porn.
@j6r: an exhaustive 45 second search of the internets has confirmed your assertion, thought there seems to be some debate as to whether it is a term of endearment or derision. I like it a lot, in a, "yeah she's got a few extra pounds on her, but I'd do her sober kind of way"
@Ben Wojdyla: a curse of which I am slso affliected
That looks like a perfectly good Europa body! Someone toss a 13b in that thing and get 'er back on the road!
[www.eurospares.co.uk]
I find this to be the most interesting picture since it tells you part of the story as to what happened. Look closely as to where those dials are pointing.
Yes, but I need a passenger door for an '84 Cutlass Supreme.....
That is fantastic. Like WreckedExotics.com, except everything is FOR SALE. Good thing they're on another continent.
@Naters4: No, no, no! This is not what you do to the one you love!
Those are beautiful but horrifying sights. I'm all conflicted here.
@Novaload: Miley Cyrus conflicted?
@boosted-lego-wagon: ICE BURN
According to their website, there are SIX 400/400i/412s in their inventory and an LM002! Man, they should charge admission. I'd pay to see all this rich wreckage.
@layabout: D'Oh! I thought Jamiroqai was pretty cool, til i saw this. then again, he's a musician...so i don't expect Fangio-like skills.
@workingonyourinvoice: Damn, how many Enzos did they make?!
@workingonyourinvoice:
Damn, how many Enzos did they make?!
@Gram's Caddy: It was friend of his that stuffed his Lambo,or should i say ex friend!
Here is a place were alot of dead old Germans end up in SoCal, I stop once to ask what they had in 365 roller, you can say that my 64 VW at time would was a 10th of the cost.
[www.porfor.com]
These photos make me with this video was a true story.
+ Watch video
*wish this video...
@mytdawg: Nah, the rich and famous themselves do plenty of this on their own. Wealth and fame don't directly translate to expert driving.
