1999 Ferrari 456M GT 6-Speed

This 1999 Ferrari 456M GT was acquired by the current owner on BaT in October 2023 following history in California, North Carolina, and Arizona. Subsequent service included replacing the catalytic converters, rebuilding the headlight and window motors, and mounting 18″ Ferrari 550M wheels with Michelin tires. The car is powered by a 5.5-liter F116 V12 paired with a six-speed manual transaxle and is finished in blue over beige Connolly leather upholstery. It is equipped with a limited-slip differential, pop-up headlights, an aluminum radiator, a gated shifter, power-adjustable Daytona-style front seats, an Alpine stereo, a Massive Audio amplifier, and automatic climate control. This 456M GT is now offered on dealer consignment at no reserve with a spare set of wheels, the owner’s manual, a binder of service records, and a clean Washington State title.

The Pininfarina-designed aluminum and composite bodywork was finished from the factory in Azzurro California, and the modificata models featured a revised grille with inset fog lights as well as pop-up headlights in addition to polished quadruple exhaust tips exiting through the rear valance. An accident that resulted in damage to the left side is listed in a September 2017 entry on the Carfax report, and the body was reportedly refinished in the current shade of blue as a result. The headlight motors were rebuilt and a replacement windshield was fitted in 2024.

The 18″ 550M wheels wear Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires that were mounted under current ownership. Self-adjusting dampers and self-leveling rear suspension were standard equipment. Stopping power is provided by Ferrari-branded four-piston brake calipers over ventilated rotors at each corner. The shocks were rebuilt and the accumulators were replaced in March 2019.

The cabin features beige leather upholstery that extends from the seating surfaces to the center console, lower dashboard, and door panels. Equipment includes power-adjustable Daytona-style front seats, a gated shifter, an Alpine stereo, an immobilizer bypass module, aftermarket USB ports, storage nets, a Massive Audio amplifier, and automatic climate control. Work in December 2017 involved re-trimming the dashboard, rear bulkhead, and door panels, re-dyeing the seats, and refinishing various sticky buttons. The selling dealer reports the heater core, HVAC control unit, and window regulators were replaced in 2024. The right sun visor is broken.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames replacement instrumentation including a 220-mph speedometer, a 10k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature and oil pressure. An analog clock and gauges for fuel level and oil temperature are located in the center stack. The six-digit odometer shows 85k miles, approximately 7k of which were added under current ownership. The instrument cluster was most recently replaced with a used unit in August 2010.

The 5.5-liter F116 V12 features four valves per cylinder, Bosch Motronic fuel injection, an aftermarket aluminum radiator, and dry-sump lubrication. It was factory rated at 436 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. The cylinder heads were most recently repaired in 2012, at which time the intake and exhaust valves were replaced, and a timing belt service is said to have been carried out in May 2023 along with replacement of the left intake camshaft and cam cover gaskets. Service in 2024 included installing aftermarket catalytic converters and replacing the oxygen sensors and the right catalytic converter module.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. The clutch components were replaced in October 2019.

A set of removed five-spoke alloy wheels will accompany the car.

The Carfax report lists the aforementioned accident.
