Well done

 

nice buy

 

Good man.! Great purchase. Once you get it, post some pictures if you don't mind.

 

It was either to be a 550 Maranello I had PPI'd in NJ but had issues and the seller wasn't willing to come down on the price to rectify so this had to be the consolation prize. That deal was way too good to pass up. Spoke with F of Seattle and they knew the car instantly. Pretty much said the owner dropped the car off and was carte blanche on every service visit and was an uber meticulous owner. Net net, a good car and a hell of a price.

And pics to follow for sure! Now just need to shuffle everything around to make room. In the midst of left side radiator replacement on my 355 and was preparing to drop the engine on the 348 and do t-belts on my 'other' 456. Guess those may get put on hold for a few while I enjoy a pre-sorted Ferrari for once in my lifetime!

 

Well done, sir. I do love the color!!

 

Ahh, the racer's dream. Arrive and drive!! Have a blast!!

 

Another green one and another M GT.

I believe that Artcultural 456M sold for 100k US all in. Less than I might have thought. There's a list of all the cars sold in the vintage thread.

 

Sweet!

 

I believe this is newly on the market.

What do you all think about colors. Do you think that a darker color will make the car sell faster rather than say silver. I love the silver, but it's not a deep color and I think the dark colors look better. I just wonder if that translates into higher prices or quicker sales.

 

Color is the most subjective of aesthetics and some cars designs look right in some colors and not as good in others. We all pretty much know that.

Having said as much, I think the 456 carries darker colors better. I have seen a picture of a 456 in white and, in spite of having had and presently have some white cars, it just didn't seem to fit. Argento Nurburgring looks fine on a 456, just not terribly special. And the overall presentation I think depends greatly on the interior. One I seriously looked at was Argento and had a crema interior with Daytona seats. Black seems to work well. Tan, not at all for me.
The gray metallics, particularly darker shades work well with the car and some here have some the praises of Cannil de Fucile, a shade I haven't seen in person. Again, another car that came close was in Grigio Metallizato with a black interior. The car looked good, but it also didn't terribly stand out simply because there are so many different cars in dark gray metallic with a black interior (like my Cayman actually...). I ended up with the dark TdF blue metallic and a tan interior. I also equally like the Verde British Racing and Verde Mugalo, both of which had tan interiors.

I think the darker colors present the design better. If that is generally perceived as so, then the sales rate will be slightly better and the prices ever so slightly better. But there is a buyer for every color, personal taste being as it is. I doubt the difference is all that much. On the other hand, every dealer written ad says "presented in the highly desirable xxxxxx". YMMV.

 

A big difference, I find, is in the wheels. The darker colours suit the 17" OEM wheels, but they look a bit silly on the lighter shades. Not sure why. I found my Argento Nurburging's apprearance improved massively when I put the 575 wheels on.

Not my color for a 456...

 

Ditto. That's hideous!

And here we have the perfect example of how some colors just do not work on some body styles.

Giallo may be some folks cup of tea on a 458 and I can see that. Really I can. On a 456? Oh dear God above, NO!!!

 

That’s one big banana!!

 

one thing it does do... it gets attention! I don't think it's as ugly as you all do, but no I would not buy one, well unless you cut the price enough.

 

Looks fine to me. Not helped by being photographed in a cramped space.

 

Hi,

Not my cup of tea either, but I don't dislike it, I think that the photography does not do it justice, taken out into the right environment and seen live it may well be both striking and beautiful. (My experience with E-types as well: they look GREAT in ALL colours!

Seems to be in fine condition, but again it's automatic. So fine for someone who wants one like that. I don't. And not that I would need another car...I need to work on the ones I have. And drive them!

 

Color - GTA - US. No car for a reasonable sale in Europe.
