Between special one-offs like the disaster-relief F430 and record-breaking classics like the 1957 250 Testa Rossa, if you've had your eye on acquiring an especially special Ferrari at auctio, there has been no shortage of opportunities. And here's another to add to the docket: Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo's own 599 GTB Fiorano.

The chairman's ride is being auctioned off online to raise scholarship funds for young aspiring researchers. The example in question features a deep red Rosso Monza metallic paintjob over an interior swathed in charcoal leather and trimmed with extra carbon fiber bits. It's also been outfitted with sat-nav and an iPod as well as carbon-ceramic brakes behind 20-inch wheels. This marks the first occasion that Ferrari has auctioned off one of its vehicles online, and will come accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the current owner, who carries a bit of clout around the factory. Follow the link for more information, including a video of Montezemolo presenting the auction, or to place your bid. Thanks for the tip, Patrick!

If you missed your chance to own a piece (literally) of Ferrari history back in May, the Ferrari store is again auctioning off bits of its world champion Formula 1 cars.

The most expensive piece so far is a gear-selection tube (pictured above) off the V-10 F300 that won Ferrari the 2001 Championship. Ferrari describes it as one of no more than 15 parts carved from a solid block of hardened steel. Bidding currently stands at €700, or about $964.

For the bargain shopper, a take-off gear (pictured at right) from Ferrari's F1-91 is available with a current bid of only €300, or about $413.

These are either very limited mementos of Ferrari's Formula 1 domination, or very limited, very expensive paperweights. Either way, it's a lucrative method of cleaning out the Ferrari garage.

The auctions end July 26, so you still have time to call your accountant to see what you can afford.
