One lap of the web: The Michael Jackson Ferrari and a crazy RUF 911
Thu, 12 Sep 2013
The King of Pop was known for a lot of things aside from his musical talent, but he wasn't necessarily known as a car guy. So, how much is a car with MJ provenance worth? We'll know soon: The “customized” (the roof was forcibly removed) Ferrari Testarossa that Michael Jackson drove in some Pepsi commercial is listed on eBay. The ad is written in ALL CAPS, and there are currently two bids. The reserve hasn't been met, but bids are up to $80,000. Hagerty says it would be worth just over $40K with the roof intact. As they say, good luck to the seller.
Our good friends over at Bring a Trailer posted this totally insane 1997 RUF 911 CTR2 this morning. If you're looking for a yellow, 700+hp converted 911, head on over and check it out.
And over at Jalopnik, they're talking Raptors. Specifically, that the truck everyone said Ford was crazy to build is now selling like crazy.
