1997 Ferrari 456 on 2040-cars
Cantua Creek, California, United States
If you have any questions please email at: paulpnnorkin@winebuffs.net .
An Exceptionally clean and original example of a beautifully rare 12 cylinder Ferrari 456. Completely stock.
Practically Blemish free very close to new in every respect, recent service, new tires and oil change, with
maintenance records of around $4000 from the Ferrari Dealer. Wonderful color combination.
Original paint on the car and even the wheels, only minor touch up on the bumper.
Over 185MPH top speed with automatic transmission, making it a comfortable daily driver as well as a grand tourer.
All options in as new working order. Please do consider that the 97 model has some notable better features than the
later 456, 2 of which are:
a) The 97 model has 2 hood scoops on the left and right on top of the hood, the later models have non, (the scoops
being a more exotic Ferrari-esk agressively designed sports car touch).
b) The second difference is the later cars have plastic trimmings for the console and controls. These plastic items
shrink as a matter of course, the 97 model has aluminum used for these parts which is for most intents and purposes
permanent.
A notable feature of this particular car, is that the factory leather on the dash is soft, supple and un-shrunk,
whereas, 90% of other 456 Ferraris in the market do suffer from leather shrinkage.
Additionally the leather on this car is un-dyed, a rare fete in itself considering the age of this vehicle, and a
testament to the care given to this car, all together making this car an exceptional example.

Ferrari vs. Ferrari: Cut convertibles unloved by collectors?
Mon, 05 Aug 2013The New York Times' Wheels blog has a really interesting story on a pair of Ferraris that are set to be auctioned off in Monterey during the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. While the two cars are similar on the surface, their differing histories and Ferrari's attitude towards one of them has led to a sort of experimental auction process.
On the one hand, we have one of ten 1967 275 GTB/4 NART Spiders, in the classic Rosso Corsa and appearing at RM Auctions and seen above. On the other, we have a Fly Yellow version that started life as a 1965 275 GTB Coupe, and was converted into a NART Spider. Called a "cut" car, this particular replica is one of about 100 GTB Coupes that were converted into convertibles to satiate the climbing demand for ultra-rare Spiders.
This will mark one of the first times that an original NART Spider will go toe to toe with a replica of itself at auction, and will answer a number of questions about just how important provenance is in the collector car world. Head on over to The Times blog for the full story.
Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."
Ferrari reports fewer sales, more profit to prove strategy is working
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Ferrari's angle of emphasizing exclusivity by limiting deliveries is appearing to bear fruit. The company posted a 7.1-percent increase in revenues to 1.7 billion Euros ($2.2 billion at today's exchange rates) during the first half of 2013. Net profits, meanwhile, saw a jump of 20 percent to 116.2 million Euros ($153.5 million). The Prancing Horse delivered 3,767 cars, which, while an increase of 2.8 percent, represents a rate of growth that's slower than in the first quarter of 2013.
While Ferrari may be actively trying to slow its sales down to below 7,000 in 2013, it's seen increased numbers in the US, Great Britain and Germany, along with double-digit growth in the Middle East and Japan (39 percent and 28 percent, respectively).
The move to limit sales should have a greater impact on the numbers that come in later this year, which we told you about back in May. Ferrari's controversial move has already seen a drop in sales to China, which saw 50 fewer Prancing Horses than this time last year.
