    With a heavy heart, I am selling my 456GT. Years of back problems and recent surgery have left me unable to drive a manual for the foreseeable future, so I am selling all of my manual cars starting with this one.
    I have what I believe to be the cleanest 456GT available anywhere. A long list of service, and I just got the car back from Ferrari Los Angeles from an annual. New NF2 wheels with PSS tires as well as recently refinished stock wheels with new Conti tires. Aftermarket stereo with bluetooth and satellite radio as well as stock radio (radio is reversible to stock) aftermarket TPMS not yet installed and a Fabio muffler with valves will be coming in a few weeks. Partial luggage included (2 large bags.) Aftermarket custom indoor and outdoor covers. Books and full set of keys included. Car has Montana title when I was registering. It passed smog earlier and can be CA legal. Originally a Canadian car, it was imported with a letter from Ferrari NA and is currently in KM, but is an easy change to miles.

    Car is in Los Angeles for inspection.

    Currently the car needs nothing to be a reliable driver. It runs showroom new with the new suspension and lifetime warranty on Delta Fee shocks rebuilt a few months ago. When rebuilding the shocks, I did not rebuild the actuators and now have a suspension light diagnosed as a bad actuator. Windows are tight, interior is new with no peeling, no stick parts.
    There is a slight squeak where the dash meets the windshield, I am unable to pull the dash to repair it with some adhesive felt. The right front suspension developed a squeak with the new bushings and shocks, it went away when i sprayed lube. An occasional spray will take car of it, or I believe the arms need to come off so the bushings can be lubed where they meet the chassis.

    Attached is a partial list of the work done in the last year and half. I apologize for poor pictures, but I cannot move the car out of the garage at the moment.

    Nero Carbonio 901C.
    Now that it's near perfect, its more fun to drive than my 612 and it's value is only going up (definitely makes it a tough decision to sell.) I toyed with the idea of selling before I got the car to this state, unfortunately now that I have it here, I can't drive it anymore.

    If someone wants it stock I would, but it needs a little time on the market before I would consider it. They’re pretty expensive at current market I have to warn you.

    Thank you,
    I am hoping to get my Dr's permission to drive it next weekend to the Piazza Gran Tourismo. At the very least I should be able to pull it out of the garage and take some better pictures.

    For the few who have asked, if this doesn't sell before I have to go to Montreal next, I will consider separating the wheels.

    I'm curious why you went with Delta V shocks instead of the stock.

    Delta Vee has developed a proprietary seal for the adjustable shock bodies. There is a weak seal in the stock shocks that will fail, while Delta Vee have fixed the problem and provide a lifetime transferable warranty on their rebuilds. You can read more on their site and in the 456/550 forum.
    I can say from experience, Delta Vee stands behind their work and go above and beyond to rectify any problems.

    Forgive all the spelling errors, it’s hard to keep up with autocorrect.

    The shock failure was well documented by one of our inquisitive chatters, he dug way into it, when his failed.
    Good update!!

    Do you have any pictures of this car outside. It's very hard to tell the color in the shade or at least form the pictures you have posted so far.
