    High Dollar Ferrari Item of the Week: F40 Brakelight, $30,000

    In this ongoing series, we marvel at the height of the tall grass known as the market for anything Ferrari. Come with us, ragazzo, as we empty our virtual wallet for a prance on a prancing horse.

    There are Ferrari parts and then there are Ferrari parts. And despite its F40 provenance, this one does absolutely nothing for us. For that reason its $30,000 price is all the more amazing. Thirty large, my friends. Thirty large. It does come with free shipping.

    Seller schlaunach (98.4% positive feedback) is going out on a limb here, likely hoping he catches one of the 1,315 F40 owners in need of the part in their quest to complete their 6- to 7-figure project job. He sure doesn’t put in a lot of effort to sell the thing. The description is a minimalist three-line stanza:

    Stop Light for FERRARI F 40

    PartNo 142742

    brandnew

    We’re not really sure this is an official Ferrari part. The sticker on the back appears new and German. Eurospares has this part in stock for about $150. Take your pick.

    (UPDATE: now on sale! for $300 BIN.)
