Giallo Modena on BaT

off to a strong start very early. not sure on service history and needs but the paintwork work bumps it down a notch

 

How about a link. And is it one of the two known yellow 456's, or a 550 or 575m?

I don't even know what to search for.

 

Okay, it's a 550: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2000-ferrari-550-maranello-4/ Nice car. Pretty good bidding for such a loud color.

 

I own a giallo 550. Does anyone know how many giallo 550s were made? Bidding is off to a great start!

Gorgeous car! I only remember that there were only two known yellow 456's (Might have been two M's, I don't remember). I love yellow on almost any Ferrari (There are exceptions).

 

Love it!!!

 

I know of one yellow mgt and one gt. On Fchat, I also remember seeing that there were possibly only 2 yellow 456s brought to the US, both manuals.

So, two of each in yellow. More complete info than I had, thanks. Would love a yellow manual M.

 

G. I was meaning to say one of each in yellow. I don’t know about automatics though. I’m looking for a white manual.

 

Love those seats,indeed the whole car is amazing.550's on the way back up again?

 

These would all have to be non-M variants or resprays. Only two giallo M's in the US that I'm aware of (1999 & 2001), both are GTAs.
And only one Bianco Avus 456M (also a 2001 GTA) A stunning car. IIRC, it was for sale within that last year or so. 355dreamer might remember.

I've seen several photos of non-M 456's in Bianco, but only Euro cars, none in the US.

 

Hmmmm. I believe you were the source for my two yellow M's info, but what about the pre-M cars? If there are two yellow manuals, it would make sense that they are not M's.

 

Ah, missed this post - too many notifications! - so thanks. killer58 says two yellow M's, both automatics. That would make at least three then, with one being a pre-M car (If yellow is the original color). So difficult to pin this stuff down.

I'm thinking of a yellow 612 now. If I don't like the F1/a, I have a connection with someone who can convert it to manual with some parts being fabricated (I have no problem with that).

 

Am I incorrect in assuming this would be less expensive and time consuming than locating OEM gear?

Do share your source if so, please!

 

The guy who did the conversion whose user name starts ///.

That's your only clue.

 

Sold $153,000 + $5,000 buyer fee.

 

I never knew my car had a twin with the same seats. Yellow really transforms the look of a 550.

 

very strong number for a car that someone likely never saw or got inspected.

but i have seen crazier sell for more and cars that should be bid higher get no/low bids.

 

Guessing the the rare combo of Giallo and black interior/Daytona-style seats w/ yellow inserts had enough bidders pumped up to bid it up there. Looked like a pretty nice 550, but none of these cars are perfect and this one isn't either. As we all know there's enough that can be wrong w/ these cars that it's a bit of a leap of faith the buy one sight unseen, even w/ a PPI.

Anybody know if this was a consignment car or dealer owned? Dealer probably did pretty well regardless.

 

Good price!

 

Maybe I’m a sucker, but I wasn’t surprised. I think
it looks great, and I’m glad to see someone else feels it is worth that much! Love the yellow.
