    The unloved 456 Ferrari

    Not sure why they don't hold their value a little more but you can find many of them in the $30k-40k range. Like all other Ferrari's they have problems that need to be addressed but if you can work on one and keep it in good condition it will reward you with lots of fun driving and you can get...

    The unloved 456 Ferrari

    After much debate I choose to purchase a 1999 Ferrari 456M GTA, I narrowed the possibilities to the 456M just because of price, they are giving them away compared to what they where new. It was either 612,575,550 or the 456 occupy the space from my recently departed GT40.:bigcry: The lines of...

    Speaking of hot wires...

    Richard if you look at the back of the switch and see that the wires have started to turn brown due to heat, this needs to be addressed, asap. The wires coming off the blower motors are larger than the wires that feed them, (at least in early cars) so I just ran new bigger wires. I think I...

    If you look at the wiring in the early SPF cars you wonder what where they thinking or drinking when they designed the wiring. If you follow the power wires they go from the back to the front then back to the main fuses located in the engine compartment then back to the front of the car creating...

    Speaking of hot wires...

    There are two blower motors, the wires feeding them are not big enough to handle the amount of current required to operate on high (IMHO), the blower switch itself can't handle that amount of current flow either. Just put in a manual toggle switch rated for 25 amps or better and on high only. I...
