The last true "DIY" Ferrari was the 328.

Given the choice, the 456 would not be very high on my list.
The 550 Maranello is much better anway.

Experiences of the 456 models (not mine I have to add) have been interesting:
1. Less than 12k miles, engine let go (under warranty, which was declined)
2. Less than 15k miles, cam lobes worn
3. Less than 10k miles, door seals and headlining, other electrical issues.

All the cars were sold/traded in, but not for another Ferrari.

Cheapest I have heard of for a 456 was $28K, I can think of better cars, MB SL500 comes to mind....
