    What are the parts sources for Ferraris?

    I live in the P-car hobbiest and racing world -- I know the sources there
    but I might tackle a 456 barn find that's going to need a good bit of
    work due to neglect.

    The story and the project (and hopefully entry price) make it intriguing.

    Doing some homework before I make the leap.

    Is there a cross reference list for parts as well (different manufactures but same part for less)?

    Who is the Pelican Parts equivalent to Ferrari?
    Who has the after market better than factory for *these* parts?

    Who is the trusted source for used parts if it comes to that....
    Oklahoma Foreign for Porsche parts -- example nobody buys 944 oil pumps they cost more than the cars are worth these days....

    I appreciate the pointers....

    Hi Mike
    Look in the 456/550/575 section as there is an interchangeable parts sticky at the top of the forum.
    Good luck

    Below are the ones that I have dealt with and had good responses. I did see a website that stated it had "Pattern Parts" which sounds odd, but my question to the website was answered that it meant the parts were made outside of Ferrari.

    Please post some pictures if the 456, many of us would like to see.

    I purchased new parts and it was cheaper to buy from the UK than here in the USA.

    eurospares - Ferrari, Lamborghini & Maserati Parts
    Scuderia - Performance Tuning & OEM Parts | Scuderia Car Parts

    New in USA
    Ricambi America

    I purchased an item from their eBay store
    Used
    Exotic Auto Recycling

    I purchased brake caliper seals from them, note: Ferrari doesn't service calipers any lower than the complete new caliper.

    Exactly what I am looking for thanks!

    Also in the Porsche world -- there are some dealers that gauge on parts -- and a few that have an online presence and have a small mark-up. This is a huge help to us in the racing/refurbishing community. Sonnet, Suncoast, Sunset Porcshe Dealerships come to mind.
    Often its cheaper for me to order from them despite shipping, then the dealership across town -- by a lot! Ironically they all get them and drop ship from the same warehouse!

    I was doing multiple engine rebuilds a year and tried to explain that to the locals folks -- they never got it -- lost 10's of thousands of $$ in business at the time. I'm back to hobby status rather than (as my wife puts it) jobby status :) But owning 8 Porsches still keeps me on good terms with the parts departments.

    Any such dealerships to goto for Ferrari parts?

    thanks,

    Mike

    good luck finding that resource, I agree that Sunset and a few others make our life much mo betta in the P car world.
    I have not yet found an analog in the Fcar world.

    example metal gaskets for cat to muffler - Porsche 997 Turbo = $6 each

    example metal gaskets for cat to muffler - Ferrari 360 M = $36 each and that was after I talked them into a 15% discount cause i was a DIY'er

    GACK!!!!!!!
