I know it's a photoshop, but I love that picture.

And that car, looks amazing in black. I'm a Ferrari guy and I am amazed at the number of folks who are incensed that Gas Monkey painted it black. I think it looks ridiculously good and if I owned a red F40 I would have to go to Safeway and park next to another red one. :)

Thought running through my head as the page loads for my reply:

Hey, that's the HRE logo. I wonder if that's the Gas Monkey Garage F40 ?

Guess I was right.

Also, awesome pic. I shall steal it to add to my collection.

Always adored the black F40s/50s over their red counterparts.

HRE custom wheels aside, The red F40 embossed logo on the spoiler pedestal, and the GASMNKY license plate are a giveaway. The exhaust heat shield trim panel also, but that is a little more obscure of a detail.

If it were the front, the LED light bars under the lexan covers, and the pop-up headlight delete (louvers instead) front clamshell would give it away.

Your post instantly reminded me of Nic Cage in Gone in 60 Seconds, with Roger, the Ferrari Salesman.

There is even a red F40 in the background of the scene.

Roger the Car Salesman : My name's Roger, Sir. May I be of some help?

Memphis : That's funny, my name's Roger... Two Rogers don't make a right.

[laughs]

Memphis : Roger, I have a problem...

Roger the Car Salesman : Yes?

Memphis : I've been in L.A. for three months now. I have money, I have taste. But I'm not on anybody's "A" list, and Saturday night is the loneliest night for the week for me.

Roger the Car Salesman : Well, a Ferrari would certainly change that.

Memphis : Perhaps, Mmmm. But, you know, this is the one. Yes, yes yes... I saw three of these parked outside the local Starbucks this morning, which tells me only one thing. There's too many self-Indulgent wieners in this city with too much bloody money! Now, if I was driving a 1967 275 GTB four-cam...

Roger the Car Salesman : You would not be a self-indulgent wiener, sir... You'd be a connoisseur.

Memphis : Precisely. Champagne would fall from the heavens. Doors would open. Velvet ropes would part.

ROFL, I didn't think of that, but that makes total sense.

Is it true that this car was totaled? Or at least wrecked at some point in its life?
