No v12 ferrari from that era shld be under 100k
We had been talking about that 1 in a different thread. Impressive given the cars “needs”. https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/posts/148619012/ The comment was made… Someone really really wanted a green one badly… And let’s be honest there are a lot of Ferrari buyers out there that $100,000 is probably chump change ( I guess)?
Well, that’s a true and fair assessment. Every car guy should at some time own a manual V12. very limited manual 456 so I guess on that end I’d agree why aren’t those $100k+. I guess the world is full of so many alternatives that drives the whole picture. where Porsches are at is confusing as there is respect from me for them but the experience is not even close. Ferrari “uniqueness” should always call for a premium and why not for the 456!
Since there were no US 96 MY 456s, this one had to be a Euro model. Looks nice with the non-airbag steering wheel.
It was a Japanese market car. As someone noted in the chat, apparently in Japan the MY of the car is when it is registered not built. The assembly number and serial number are both lower than my early 95 US car. Plus the non-airbag setup, and Motronic 2.7. This is a MY94 build to the rest of the world or there was some errors on the import paperwork that got passed forward. The VIN decoder does show that Digit 8 is coded as a LHD, Europe market car. However Digit 10, the model year, isn't used in the original market it was assigned. Seems strange the VIN is assigned by location not by manufacturer Notice it has no third brake light too!
Aston Martin owners would strongly disagree with you on this. The DB9’s are much less, and the DBS which is closer in the Ferrari lineup to a 2+2 575M, are much less expensive than their Ferrari counterparts.
Well then it’s sort of a rigged question to be like “these are super underpriced for a manual 2+2 V12 Ferrari” because there’s not much to compare it to aside from 400’s and like 95 612’s
The 456 is the same platform as the 550, so you can directly compare them. And some of us like the 456 design better than the 550. I would certainly rather have a 456M manual than a 550. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Agreed and OMG what size and brand wheels are those ? I want them. They look OE size 17’s (perfect) but in that cool style !
I’m not joking when I say…don’t forget the pop up headlights! My 3rd car (owned 11 years - basically all the 90’s) was a 89 Dodge Daytona. Love the pop ups!
Laserguru do you have info on earlier 456GT's like you have on 456M's. I have a Rosso Monza on tan 456GT, vin 100246 assy 17222. Just curious to see how many rosso monza 456's there were? Thanks
I am compiling the info for the early non-M cars but it is not ready for release into the wild just yet. While the various shades of red (incl Rosso Corsa) were less than 5% of the M population, Fiorano (5) led the way, then Barchetta (3), then Monza (2) and Corsa (2). My population of non-M cars seems to yield much the same kind of relative statistics. There may have been a bit more reds in the earliest days as the factory tested the buyer's taste and opinion on the body style before deciding that it is a blue or gray car.
There was ONE 456M in 2001 that came to the states. I've seen pics of it. There were more (don't know exact #) 456 Euros that were delivered. The car looks pretty good in Blanco Avus although I still think most 456s look better in darker metallic shades.
I’m a weirdo in that I wouldn’t want a 550/575 in R/Corsa but would take a 456 in that. The rossa Barchetta toned down looks amazing on everything. I love the dark blues and the hunt for the rare colors I totally get. Makes a rare car experience even more delightful!….like the white ones.
