The rumor was they were originally sourced from some obsolete BMW production car, but I never figured out which one.
Ironically, the lack of availability of future spare parts caused me to bail on Ferrari ownership, too. At some point, Ferrari decided they did not want to be in the business of supplying parts for the older cars, that would be something the aftermarket could take care of. I found it annoying that certain consumables were just going to dry up and go away and decided that somebody else needed to own that problem.

I was going to mention that finding a Drive Shaft for a 275 GTB is impossible. There was a guy making them but you would have to wait for him to make a production run of them. Which might be years...meanwhile your stuck on the side of the road.
Another one was Rotor caps for Dino's.
