I?m not old enough to really remember the Ferrari Modulo, but I do know some uncles of mine who attest to having knock-off posters of the concept stapled to their walls. The car was a revolutionary wonder back in its day, a space ship-looking oddity that Pininfarina actually designed and developed, and was based on the Ferrari 512S.
These days, the Modulo Concept can be found locked and hidden deep inside Pininfarina?s vault. Or at least it was until Jim Glickenhaus somehow convinced the Italian design house to sell it to him.
Road & Track is reporting as such and there?s no reason to raise an eyebrow on this report. Glickenhaus himself reached out to Road & Track to announce his latest automotive purchase. As if the man doesn?t have enough unique Ferraris to call his own; he?s adding another one to this stable that might win out as the strangest of them all.
Apparently, Glickenhaus isn?t just buying the Modulo; he also plans to rebuild it and unleash it to the world. R&T is reporting that the entire build process will take place in Europe before the car makes the voyage back to New York where it will be registered and, well, you know what?s going to happen after that.
Glickenhaus didn?t give an exact timetable on how long the restoration is going to take, but he did say that the Modulo could be prepared and finished in time for the 2015 Concorso d?Eleganza Villa d?Este on May 22, 2015.
