This makes them desirable from a performance point of view and also a collectible point of view. An even smaller amount of these fiberglass cars were made in the GTS Targa top version. Sometimes you come across a Ferrari with high mileage available for an extremely interesting price. Before you jump on what appears to be a good deal make sure an experienced Ferrari mechanic performs a full evaluation on the automobile.
As I mentioned above, these four cam engines are tied together with rubber timing belts. A timing belt replacement service on a Ferrari carries a hefty price tag. In fact, it's recommended that the engine be removed from the vehicle to perform the repairs.
Of course, this price will fluctuate depending on whom you find to perform the operation. The maintenance interval is recommended by the factory at every three years or 30, miles. This means if you're looking at a car with a reasonable price tag, the maintenance service probably needs to be done. When a timing belt snaps it can cause extensive damage to the valve train components.
This is the primary reason you should never buy a Ferrari that is not running. Between the high priced maintenance services and the initial costs of a Ferrari I recommend that you also take a look at the De Tomaso Pantera.

Everyone does it different. In the US model year is declared by the manufacturer and does not reflect production date. It describes the year regulations the car was designed to comply with. Some countries define it by when imported others by date first sold.
Ferrari really doesn't tell us anything and it is up to the researchers like Matthias Urban or Carbon to figure it out.
And to compound the confusion VIN's are not always built in order. Most Ferrari books say that the total number of carburetted GTB's produced between and is To complete the confusion, another source from the UK, which also relies on factory figures, mentions the production of only GTB's.
The actual number of cars built will probably never be confirmed. The early cars were built with lightweight fiberglass vetroresina bodies, from mid the bodies were made of steel.
It is believed that the first cars were fiberglass, the rest of cars had steel bodies. But the official factory number for fiberglass cars is Another of the many Ferrari mysteries. How can you distinguish a fiberglass car from a steel one? Fibreglass cars have a little seam at the top of the windscreen pillar, where it touches the roof. Further differences for the European version: The space for the rear license plate is plain, while steel cars have a hollow there.
On glass cars, the rear driving lights are located in the bumper, while on steel cars they are in the centre of the indicator lenses. Dec 10, 25, Full Name: Avvocato. I guess we can try and figure out a real number.
I spent some time yesterday searching the general internet for information to see if I could piece together an overall estimate of the numbers of s manufactured each year. I discovered there was a remarkable amount of information available, although scattered all over the place.
Noteworthy is FerrariChat member "Neofer" of France who had posted many summaries. There are certainly inaccuracies in the yearly counts in my summary. Some data is exact; other data is rougher.
Despite these inaccuracies, I believe this is worthwhile posting as it is useful sense of how many of everything was built and when. If you do not find these estimates useful: please just move on. I tried to divide the data into meaningful design changes e.
The "Date Started" and "Date Ended" were often determined from Registry databases by looking for build dates of the first and last car listed in the registry i. Data shown in black is pulled directly from one of the information sources listed below. Data shown in red was calculated.
If the yearly production is shown in red and the total is shown in black, I have evenly distributed the total production number by month in proportion to the months that the subject variant was manufactured in each year.
