Jerrari SUV: Ferrari 365 GT & Jeep Wagoneer Mongrel for Sale!

This has to be one of the weirdest creations we’ve ever found for sale on eBay. Story has it that when Enzo Ferrari refused renowned car collector Bill Harrah’s request to build him a four wheel drive Ferrari model, Harrah took it upon himself to create one by combining the front end of a (crashed) Ferrari 365 GT with the body of a 1969 Jeep Wagoneer. Since this weird vehicle was the offspring of a Ferrari and a Jeep, Harrah named it the Jerrari…

Although the Jerrari that’s up for sale on eBay is currently equipped with a 350ci V8 engine, Harrah’s original creation was fitted with the 365 GT’s 4.4-liter V12 powerplant that delivered 320 bhp.

According to tests performed by Road&Track at the time, the Jerrari managed to sprint from 0 to 60mph (96 km/h) in 9.4 sec and from 0 to 100 mph (160 km/h) in 21.2 sec while the quarter mile came in 15 seconds flat. The Jerrari’s top speed was claimed to be 130 mph or 209 km/h. –Image gallery after the jump
