Empty the 401k: Riddler-winning Ferrambo up for sale
Click above for gallery of the Ferrambo
We first alerted you to the Ferrambo's existence back in late 2007 when the build was nearing completion. The brainchild of Mike Warn and Tim Divers of Divers Street Rods, the Ferrambo is the result of mashing together a 1960 Nash Rambler Wagon and a Ferrari 360, along with a ridiculous amount of custom fabrication. The product is truly neither car, with the original Nash donating mainly its body and a wrecked 2002 Ferrari 360 its 3.6L V8 engine and 6-speed tranny. The rest is all made by hand, including the custom frame that accommodates mid-mounting the Ferrari V8 behind the two front seats.
What's under the hood then? A set of custom fit leather luggage that matches the hide used to upholster the interior. So impressive is the Ferrambo that it won this year's coveted Riddler award at the 2008 Detroit Autorama. If you don't know what the Riddler is then, as the car's builders say, the Ferrambo is not for you. But the Ferrambo is for someone who has got lots of money and an appreciation for fine craftsmanship and the automotive oddities, as Mike and Tim are putting it up for sale. They don't list the asking price, but we imagine it's quite a bit more than the sum of its parts. Check out the Ferrambo for yourself in our gallery below, and if you're really interested, call GP Imports at 1-800-763-4016 for the price.

It is odd.
but you have to give props to the absolutely insane attention to detail.
Whoever built that probably also has a very unhappy ex wife. Single guys don't have the need for a diversion anywhere near that level, and wives don't like that sort of competition for attention.

Whoever 'built' this is likely stinky rich and had very little to do with the build. Riddler winning cars usually have more than a million $ thrown into them.

Beautiful... but after the car shows, pointless.
Cars are meant to be driven, but driving this on public roads would ruin it.

Ridler, not Riddler. It's not like Jim Carrey presents the award.

That's sweet. Reminds me of a Nomad.

I didn't realize how small it actually was until those people were standing next to it... holy crap.
That would be one hell of a ride though!

This is another example of unrewarded effort. The chance of getting even a fraction of the investment is questionable. They might not even get more than the value of the engine/transmission, unless it was mofified and the original parts lost so it can't be used easily in a "real" car.

Reward doesn't have to have a monetary value. I guarantee you that whoever put the sweat effort into that car got paid for their time, and then knowing it won that award made it even better.

WOW!

one of the coolest classic wagons ever!

I actually like it. It's really funky, but it seems to work well together. I agree though, this was probably not built by the owner, unless the owner has a ton of money. Riddler winner builds are extremely expensive.

Looks awesome compared to most production Ferraris.
