The Flooded Ferraris of Hurricane Ian Have Arrived on Copart

Whenever a large-scale storm passes through the U.S., cars get destroyed. That's just the nature of flooding, especially in places like Florida, which recently got hit with a category 4 Hurricane. A ton of cars got totaled out by insurance companies due to flood damage, most of which are starting to appear on salvage auction site Copart. And there are some real gems.

A quick search of Ferraris on the site yields 59 results, 40 of which list flood damage as the reason for their appearance. There are all sorts of Californias, F430s, 360s, Portofinos, and 488s available, in addition to some rarer and more expensive models, including one SF90 Stradale and, tragically, a 550 Maranello.

Ferraris weren't the only cool cars flooded out by Hurricane Ian. Copart lists seven flooded Lamborghinis located in Florida; five Huracáns, one Urus, one Gallardo Spyder, and one Aventador Roadster. There are also seven McLarens on the site, including a 600LT and the infamous yellow P1. We'd also like to give an honorable mention to the six Porsche 911 GT3s and GT3 RSs that fell victim to Ian's floodwaters.

With more and more salvage cars from Hurricane Ian beginning to appear for sale online, now might be a good time to brush up your skills on how to avoid being scammed by a flood-damaged car. Flood damage is especially easy to miss if you don't know what to look for.
