    Anybody have some more numbers we can use to make this table more complete? Handy for estimating when equipment changes were made.

    Carbon- Holy Mackeral. Would seem you have been at this longer than I have. Great additions. A few non-sequiturs in there. Obviously I did not add much to your list.

    Terry... I gotta be honest - I'm pretty sure you've been at this a lot longer than I have. I'm continually amazed at the knowledge and insight in many of your posts, and I often read threads I normally wouldn't read, simply because you've posted in them.

    I might have more assembly numbers than you, but I'm single (and still a virgin) and obsessed, which explains the hours and hours I put into information cultivation each week. I bet if we hung out for a day, I'd learn a buttload.

    By the way, I already had only one or two of the assembly numbers you posted - and every single piece of information helps. :)

    LOL, I swear I didn't. You contributed to my data - as you've unwittingly done in the past. Your name comes up in my database almost a dozen times...!

    Do you collect engine numbers, gearbox numbers and dates of production as well...?

    Carbon- Not engine numbers, and build dates only on the four I have owned.

    Now if you want all the known data on the Fokker Dr.I or Albatros C.XII, let me know. Two books on the latter already and enough data and photos (500+) on the former for two or three more books.

    Of course! Fokker was our national pride for 75 years. Too bad we sold them to the Germans in WWI, but hey, all is fair in business and we were neutral after all. :)

    Nice one, Terry.

    Cool, thanks, Don! It's an F1, right...? I don't suppose you know the engine number and date of production...? :)

    Thanks, Terry. Take your time - I need to look up 'etouffee'.

    What would you like to know...? It's an absolutely stunning car liveried in Grigio Ingrid with a tobacco leather cockpit. It's got power Daytonas with tan inserts, piping and stitching, and tan carpets. It has shields, red calipers, a 575M trunk badge and, best of all, it's a manual...!

    What is the correlation (sp?) to serial number and build number? I know a car on that list with a serial number after mine, yet has a build number almost 200 before mine. What gives with that?

    Nice! A manual...!

    I'll never forget that number. :) But I was too enthralled with the ride and the weekend to get the assembly number; so while that six-digit serial is branded in my memory, the five-digit assembly is a mystery to me.

    Terry can answer that question; and I'll be anxiously awaiting his reply so that I can find out, too.

    Interesting, thank you. I had it down as a manual because that's how it was advertised by Scottsdale last July.

    FOU- Ferrari planners assign blocks of serial numbers (VINs) to cars as they receive orders and estimate needs for each model. The serial numbers are assigned sequentially, now using both even and odd serial numbers. In the past, street Ferraris had odd serial numbers, and Dinos and race cars had even serial numbers.

    When a Ferrari, which already has an assigned serial number as part of the ordering process, actually begins the run down the assembly line, it is assigned a sequential assembly number completely unrelated to the serial number, but just on the car's position on the assembly line. The next Ferrari to reach the assembly line will have an assembly number one higher than the previous car. Which Ferraris reach the assembly line first is most likely used to fine tune the model mix and may also be related to availability of parts.

    If you look in the Ferrari parts catalogs, you will notice parts are ordered by assembly number, not serial number. Use of the assembly number ensures all cars with that assembly number or higher on the assembly line will have the latest part. Since the serial numbers are not necessarily, or even usually, in sequential order, the assembly number is used because it is sequential on the assembly line.

    Here are a couple of examples based on my old 1970 Euro Ferrari Daytona, 14009, assembly number 364, completed on 15 December 1970. A 1970 Euro Daytona, 13987, for sale at Boardwalk, has assembly number 354, indicating it was 10 spots in front of my Daytona on the assembly line. A US spec 1971 Daytona 13999, however, has assembly number 368, indicating it was four places behind my 14009, even though the serial number is lower. Why? Perhaps grouping US spec cars, perhaps all parts not in place for this very early US spec car? Do not know for sure. Just that it began assembly after my old car.

    Let me know if anyone has any further questions. The serial number and assembly number relationship can be used to estimate the serial number where a parts upgrade took place, and that estimating process is actually fairly simple to do.

    Thanks for the info, I sorta figured the serial number with order thing, but did not think about the multiple country build requirements and build order. good info

    Here is what I have so far and more columns can be added if necessary for colors, options, etc. Carbon has some of the other data if anyone is interested. We can also add in rows for when major upgrades on the 575M occurred. Such as: Central Muffler Delete, Assembly # 51797; Shock ECU Upgrade, Assembly # 52556; Shock Update, Assembly # 55769, etc if anyone thinks that would be valuable.
