We're still mad at Martin Scorsese for wrecking a real Lamborghini Countach while making The Wolf of Wall Street, but as Leonardo Di Caprio drove that while playing financial impersonator Jordan Belfort, the actual Wolfie used to cater to his transportation needs in the Countach's archenemy, the Ferrari Testarossa.
And speaking of cash-related matters, Belfort's 1991 Testarossa is now up for grabs. Having bought the car from New York-based Ferrari dealership Kessler Motors, the con didn't spend too much time behind its wheel.
The Testarossa had two other owners after Belfort sold it, but both were reportedly Prancing Horse collectors who treated the car like a garage queen. As a result, the Ferrari now only has 8,000 miles on its odo.
Given the shady ways of its first owner, proving the origins of the car is necessary, but the seller has plenty of evidence to back up its claim. For instance, the name and address of the financial "engineer" can be found in both the warranty book and the supply invoices.
From this point on, things turn into a bit of a cheesy story, with the seller explaining the Ferrari comes with a luggage set that has a $50 bill in its lining. Is this move inspired from the Wolf's philosophy? We'll never know.
What we can tell you, though, is that the Ferrari Testarossa is currently for sale in Monaco - despite the Fezza's American sale origins, the location only seems natural, right?
As for the rest of the car's history, the seller claims the Ferrari "was involved in a 'Wolf' moment as early as the original test drive." Nevertheless, that detail is only for the ears of the car's next owner.
Given Ferrari's recent stock market listing, this seems like a bit of an ironical moment for this Testarossa to trade hands.
P.S.: Before you get to any Wolfie dreams, you should know Belfort ended up serving 22 months of a four-year sentence and that was thanks to intensivly cooperating with the investigators. But that's another turning-your-partners-in story for another time.
