From Ernie, who got it from another FChatter. Taz Terry Phillips VIN: VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER Since 1980, all Ferraris are equiped with a VIN, a uniform 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number. It was first introduced on US models, as it was required for all cars in the US made after January 1st 1980. Other markets soon followed. The VIN can be found in several places, but on all models (except the European version of the Enzo and some race versions) it can be seen from the outside: in most cases it's visible on a plate on top of the steering column or at the bottom of the windshield. Depending on the model and the market, the VIN can also be found stamped on a plate or in the chassis in the engine room, or on plates in the doors. The overview published on this page explains each digit of the VIN. It was made with help from the late Gerald Roush (Ferrari Market Letter) and many other Ferrari-spotters. Certain information is from official documents, but not everything. So, please note that this overview may contain errors and that it isn't complete. Corrections and additions will always be appreciated. Important remark: starting with model year 2010, the digits 4+5 and 6+7 are reversed! 1st - 3rd DIGIT Nation of Origin, Make ZFF Italy, Ferrari, Ferrari ZDF Italy, Dino, Ferrari (only used on a few

and China (>2010) (a specific calculation, see below) 0 Other markets The check digit of the VIN appears in the 9th position of US versions (plus some other markets, see above) and provides a way to verify the validity of all of the other characters in positions 1-8 and 10-17. The check digit is calculated by carrying out the following mathematical computation. (1) Assign to each number in the VIN its actual mathematical value and assign to each letter the value specified in following Table: A = 1 G = 7 N = 5 V = 5 B = 2 H = 8 P = 7 W = 6 C = 3 J = 1 R = 9 X = 7 D = 4 K = 2 S = 2 Y = 8 E = 5 L = 3 T = 3 Z = 9 F = 6 M = 4 U = 4 (2) Multiply the assigned value for each VIN character in the VIN by the Position weight factor specified in the following Table: VIN position Weight factor VIN position Weight factor 1st 8 10th 9 2nd 7 11th 8 3rd 6 12th 7 4th 5 13th 6 5th 4 14th 5 6th 3 15th 4 7th 2 16th 3 8th 10 17th 2 9th to be calculated (3) Add the resulting products and divide this total by 11. (4) The numerical remainder is the check digit. If the remainder is 10 the letter 'X' shall be used to designate the check digit. The correct numeric remainder, zero through nine (0-9) or the letter 'X' shall appear in the VIN position nine. 10th DIGIT Model Year The "Model Year" is only used on North America, Middle East and Latin and Central America versions: A 1980, 2010 B 1981, 2011 C 1982, 2012 D 1983, ...

Until s/n 75000 only odd serialnumbers were used. After 75000 both odd and even numbers were used. The VIN was also used on a small number of (late production) Dino 308 GT4s. Those VINs start with ZDFBB01 and end with even numbers near 15xxx.

Haven't been in this thread in a while; lots of questions... Hi, Bill... I spotted this car in December, 2009, out here in California. Did you purchase it from California? If so, do you mind disclosing when, and at what mileage? Thanks. I saw 129075 back in November and December; Nero Daytona 506 with black leather, Daytona seats, red stitching, Valentine One, no shields, tinted windows, black wheels, red calipers, complete books and tools, engine number 69031. Terry, do you know if 137854 has a manual or F1 transmission? Engine number 100507; did you get it before or during the top replacement fiasco? Blue with Cuoio interior, yellow tachometer, shields, aluminum calipers, engine number 102312. Hi, Mal... I'm interested in any data you've acquired, and sharing what I have in an effort to assist you in arriving at those desired numbers. Hi, Johnny... Do you know the serial number of the 599 you own(ed)? Hi, Terry... 139847 is definitely a Stradale, spotted twice by two different people on two different occasions, in Europe. Can you tell me if 130113 has a manual or F1 transmission? Also, I've cleared my inbox if you'd care to resend that file.
Per- Your TDF/Cuoio 04 575M has FHP if it has a 21 mm rear anti-roll bar, and is included below, SN 135159, AN52312. Carbon- 139847 was a typo. Correct in list as 139487. I have 130113 as an F1 car.

Very nice FHP 575M at Motorcars International in Irvine, CA. Rosso Corsa with nero with red stitching Dautonas and shelf. Shields, Tubi, F1 and FHP. Now fitted with what appear to be 20" HRE wheels painted black. Serial Number 130837, Assembly Number 47994, 10,800 miles. Except for the wheels, which some besides me may like, a pretty car.

Very pretty 03 Blu Pozzi F1 575M at Ron Tonkin GT. Only has ~6200 miles, bordeaux Daytonas, shelf, fire extinguisher cover, and carpets. Has shields and red calipers. Interior looks nice with black dash and steering wheel. Serial Number 131554, Assembly Number 48677. Also an image of the 50 years in America emblem (1954-2004) on the ash tray cover from a MY05 575M. My MY04 does not have it because it was built in Nov 03, but this 05 does because it was built in CY 04.

Nice late, basic, F1 2004 575M at Autosports Designs in Long Island. Serial Number 137516, Assembly Number 55084, 10K miles, Rosso Corsa with Nero Daytonas with red stripes, shields, and red calipers. Has steering position sensor upgrade and will take all HGTC upgrades (F1 and Shock Absorber ECUs). Late model (04 and 05 after Assembly Number 52556) 575Ms feel better than equivalent suspension package earlier cars when cornering because of the steering position sensor. This sensor sends a stiffening signal to the shock absorber ECU before the accelerometers sense the car beginning to roll. Personally, that is worth about $5K to me in price on a 575M. My car has FHP, but just missed the steering position sensor. All 456/M and 550 cars have a steering position sensor.
