Despite low mileage and a clean title, this yellow oddity has bounced from auction to auction, struggling to find someone who wants a “supercar limo.”
A Stretched 360 Modena Few Asked For
Somewhere in San Diego, a bright yellow Ferrari 360 Modena limo gathers dust in a salvage yard, hoping for a buyer. Originally a mid-engined supercar built for performance, this particular example was sliced in half and stretched into a limousine, a decision that has not aged well. It’s not just rare; it might be the only Ferrari 360 limo in America. Despite that, interest remains minimal.
Auction Flops Past and Present
This modified Ferrari has been circling the used car market for years. Back in 2018, it was listed on eBay for $95,000 with no takers. Before that, someone reportedly paid over $100,000 for it in 2017. Now, it's resurfaced on Copart, a salvage auction site, with a current bid of $19,700, far short of its $40,000 buy-it-now price or undisclosed reserve. Still, nobody seems to want it.
Why This Ferrari Conversion Was Doomed from the Start
Chopping and extending a Ferrari 360 may turn heads, but it compromises everything that made the original car special. The conversion adds substantial weight and likely wrecks the car’s handling, balance, and structural integrity. “To stretch it into a limo, it has been cut in half,” one article noted bluntly, making clear that there’s no going back to factory spec. It may retain its 3.6-liter naturally aspirated V8, rated at 394 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque when new, but it’s unclear if the engine even runs now.
Not Built for Vegas—or Anywhere Else
Limos aren’t exactly trending these days, and a low-roof Ferrari doesn’t scream comfort for partygoers. The interior photos show some limousine-style features—like possible intercom wiring, TVs, and ambient lighting. But it’s a far cry from the plush cabins of traditional stretch limos. Even the wildest party scenes, like Las Vegas, would struggle to justify the awkward practicality of this conversion.
What Can You Even Do With This Car?
Options for this 360 limo’s future are few and bleak. One possibility is parting it out, either to salvage components for another Modena or to drop the V8 into a custom build. Someone could also shine it up and rent it out in Vegas or Miami, though it would be more gimmick than luxury. “At the right price, a 394-horsepower Ferrari engine is a fun swap for a lot of cars,” one source observed. But that’s assuming the engine starts, which is currently unknown.
From Maranello to Meme
This strange Ferrari has become a cautionary tale: a rare exotic modified into obscurity. With 36,903 miles, a clean title, and still-bright paint, it might tempt someone with deep pockets and questionable taste. But the car sits in limbo, too weird for collectors, too impractical for renters, and too costly to restore or rebuild. “It’s terrible, but it exists,” one commentator put it. At this point, that might be its only legacy.
