Imagine having a stunning car collection in your garage. One day, you decide to sell it—and years later, one of those prized vehicles vanishes. That’s more or less what happened to Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan’s Ferrari 512 TR. After going off the radar for nearly 15 years, the iconic car has finally resurfaced.

The mystery behind Jordan’s Ferrari was unraveled by a group of automotive enthusiasts on a YouTube channel called We Are Curated. They spent nearly two years digging through records and chasing leads until their persistence finally paid off.

The last known sighting of the car came during an auction, where it was sold for a hefty sum. After that, it seemingly disappeared. Its reappearance comes with a surprising twist, including a dramatic escape from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires of 2024.

After several phone calls and countless inquiries, the YouTubers managed to track down the car’s elusive owner: a local businessman who had purchased it 15 years ago.

Soon after acquiring the Ferrari, he was diagnosed with bone cancer, a heartbreaking turn of events that kept the car hidden from the public ever since.

Jordan’s Ferrari resurfaces in California after devastating wildfires

One of the most tragic events in California’s recent history unfolded last year when wildfires swept through large parts of Los Angeles. Dozens of homes were destroyed, and many families were displaced.

Surprisingly, Jordan’s iconic Ferrari was discovered inside the garage of one of the few homes that withstood the flames.

A video detailing the story shows a neighborhood where nearly every house was reduced to rubble, except for one. That lone survivor still had Bulls star’s red Ferrari safely tucked away in its garage, miraculously untouched by the fire.

After 15 years hidden under a protective cover, the Ferrari was finally revealed. The vehicle, once driven by Jordan himself, remained in pristine condition, just as it was the day it was last parked. The discovery felt like something out of a movie, with the car emerging as a symbol of resilience.

What’s next for Jordan’s Ferrari?

While many have expressed interest in buying the car, its current owner has made it clear, he’s not selling. In a video interview, the businessman said he plans to restore the Ferrari and eventually take it out for a drive once it’s fully repaired.

With the mystery of Jordan’s long-lost Ferrari solved, the car has sparked massive interest on social media. Some users offered large sums of money to purchase it, while others simply want the chance to see it in person.

 Still, the owner has remained firm: he’s keeping the car, and taking it out for a spin is the only thing he’s promised so far.
