Famously Smashed Enzo Back On eBay For A Discount

Remember that Ferrari Enzo that Eddie Griffin "accidentally" smashed into a wall while promoting his car-centered movie Redline? It's back on eBay again. Last August saw the restored car, which was severely damaged in the front end and believed to be totaled, on eBay for $1.3 million. It didn't sell so the restorer, car dealer Matt Groner of Matthew's Autos in Houston Texas has put it back on eBay at a reduced rate. The "buy-it-now" price is set at $990,000 taking it under the $1 million mark.

Remember that Ferrari Enzo that Eddie Griffin "accidentally" smashed into a wall while promoting his car-centered movie Redline? Jalopnik reveals that the car which was severely damaged in the front end and believed to be totaled, has been restored by car dealer Matt Groner of Matthew's Autos in Houston Texas. As Groner explains in a letter to Jalopnik he bought the car in Los Angeles. He usually sells the cars in their damaged states but decided to get the parts from Italy and restore the car. The good-as-new car is now up for sale for $1.3 million.

Eddie Griffin Drives a Ferrari Enzo...Into a Wall

Maybe it's because he's rich, or maybe it's because he's an actor and spends so much time "faking" emotions, but I don't think Eddie Griffin looked nearly upset enough in this video when he accidentally ran a Ferrari Enzo into a cement wall during a practice lap for an upcoming charity event promoting his newest movie, Redline. I realize that sad things like this happen all the time in Hollywood and in the movie-making industry, but that doesn't mean I have to like it -- especially when it happens by mistake!

At least no one was seriously injured - that is, if you're not counting the car, which is (was) valued at over $1 million dollars.

Producer To Destroy His Own Carrera GT For Movie

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

The announcement of a new movie starring Eddie Griffin isn't usually exciting news but this may be the first one that I have heard about whether the producer offers up his own cars for the action scenes. "Redline" will be an auto thriller that will include the personal car collection of the producer, real estate investor Daniel Sadek. Sadek who is financing the $26 million movie will be using his own cars including a Phantom, Lamborghini Murcielago, Enzo Ferrari, Ferrari F430, Ferrari Scaglietti and two Mercedes McLarens. Sadek's $200,000 Porsche Carrera GT will be crashed during one sequence. Perhaps he should hire Stefan Eriksson as a stunt driver.
