A guy recently bought a wrecked Ferrari 812 Superfast owned by Michael B. Jordan in hopes of restoring it.
The movie star made headlines last year when he reportedly crashed the supercar on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, US.
Fortunately, the actor walked away unharmed but his Ferrari 812 Superfast was in pieces.
With only three wheels and serious damage on the right side, the supercar was listed for sale in as-is condition.

Michael B. Jordan’s wrecked Ferrari 812 Superfast
James Condon, also known as the TheStradman on YouTube wanted to buy the car but wasn’t eligible to bid.
However, he got another chance when Michael B. Jordan’s wrecked Ferrari 812 Superfast showed up on eBay once more.
The shop that originally bought the car sold it just two months after buying it.
So it was very likely that the shop must have found something that made them change their minds and resell the Ferrari rather than fix it.
However, James bought the car for around a third of its value pre-accident.
It should be noted that the Ferrari 812 Superfast can accelerate 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds.
So it’s no wonder that whoever was driving the supercar found it difficult to control at such high speeds.
Checking out the car
James traveled to Sacramento, California to fetch the wrecked Ferrari 812 Superfast.
He found the car in a storage building and was surprised to see it didn’t look as bad as he thought.
Even the front right wheel of the car was attached back into place, and the car fired up instantly.
It seems Michael B. Jordan also spent a lot of money on the interior of the car as it is all carbon fiber and red leather.
However, the wrecked Ferrari will still need a new bumper, a front fender, a windshield, and a front-side mirror.
Plus there’s also the mysterious reason as to why the shop decided to sell the car two months after buying it.
