Why not??? If they know what they are doing it should be every bit as good as new.

I just wonder how much something like that would cost. Less than a new Enzo, but a bet you could buy a couple NSXs for the price.

Seeing that the Enzo is a collectors car now, it probably costs more than it did new, even after being in a wreck.

Jeez, pretty sensational article quoted there, what with all the stuff about no-one though it was repairable and few every thought it would be on the road again.

Say what? That car has a carbon fiber chassis built in sections and then pieced together. It would simply be a matter of replacing the damaged sections ala every carbon fiber race car out there. The only question mark is if the tub itself was cracked, and that hit was nowhere near hard enough to do that.

Sure enough, the guy that rebuilt it said more or less exactly the same thing. They just ordered the parts for it and are gonna bolt it all back together.

Hell, you could even put the one that was split in two by 'Gunter' or whatever the hell his name was, provided the tub was in good shape.

You know you're a baller when you can wreck a car, rebuild it, and sell it for the price of a huge house
