Yes, it is all about you.

1. The 456 was released in 1992, not 1989, and only shared its stroke with the 348.  It is as similar to the 550 as it is the 348.  And the 575 is based on the same Dino platform.  Technology advances.  That is why it is $40k and not $140k.
2. A lack of records doesn't make a car a "parts car".  That is just a ridiculous statement.
3. As stated earlier, insurance will pay for replacement body panels.
4. If you hate automatics, fine, not for you but that isn't relevant.  Auto or not, this seems like a great deal.  And, like any slush box, they are reliable if properly maintained.  Given its pedigree, parts are readily available and cheap.  And, yes Clyde, slush box refers to a hydro-auto and not a manual.

Buy the hood, get the rest of the car for $15k....


Go price a Mercedes V12 of the same era, there is a reason that these are all ten cents on the original dollar cars.

Like I said
This is a moving parts car for the 456 crowd
Some 456 owners need to get together and by it for parts

That's almost tempting at that price point. Besides the fact that it's automatic, besides the fact that it isn't pristine, besides the one stupid issue they have that I know about with windows, what are the downsides/risks? First thing is "some recent service," what does that mean? In other words, when was the last "major service" and when is it due next? What is the extent of a normal "major service" on a 456, and can an owner do it? I haven't done it in a while but I can do a major service (cam belts, tensioners, valve adjust, etc) on my 308 in a weekend, but my impression is that the newer and more complex the car is the less owner-serviceable it is, and I assume that's the case here.
