    550/575 parts fit 456?

    All of the above. Many (most...) parts are interchangeable in the drivetrain/chassis. Wheels sizes and offsets are identical, in particular.

    Which FCar(s) would you buy with $100K?

    At $100k, you're about $20k shy of a good, documented 550. Plus, that leaves nothing for maintainence. I'd say a 97/98 456 6-speed for...
