Doug is the kind of guy who refuses to climb into back seats anymore 😢
@@somebody9785 🤣
Exactly
And what happened to two shirts?
best part of every 2+2 review is seeing him cram himself into the backseat :c
@@somebody9785 Doug is the type of guy where if you give him something he doesn't know about, it is considered Quirky
Doug is in full used-car-salesman mode with this 456.
Doug’s 5 o’clock shadow helps to sell this “driver’s” Ferrari. ❤
456GT is as good looking car as 2012 Audi R8 LMS ULTRA.
Every review he posts where he says "Big news, this car is available for sale at Cars And Bids" is a paid advertisement to increase the final sale price and of course his commission.
@@djvillanit’s a very smart business model.
Dirty car with issues including a huge window gap = great value driver car because you're not afraid of dings! What a clown
Remember when he used to care. Climbing into the back seats, going over the Doug score one by one, looking for every details before making a video, those where the days.
Don't forget the car manual lol
@@Jens_Roadster I would never let Doug touch anything valuable that's made of paper. He squeezes those vintage manuals like they owe him money.
I drove such a Ferrari 456GT over a duration of about 2 years, because its owner wasn't able to drive it anymore, but at the same time doesn't want to sell it.
It was a dark-blue metallic one & when the owner died, his family wanted me to find the perfect next owner, as I sadly couldn't afford this car, assurance-wise.
So, it went back to Italy, where it's still in the ownership of the buyer, 12y later - and every time, I'm in the area, we do a short trip around his town, bc he knows, I would have bought, if I would have had the money for.
So, thank you Doug for sharing this with the community.😍
Auto or manual?
lovely
we really don't care, this video is not all about you
@@slowery43 I always find these sorts of comments quite interesting
@@slowery43 Who do you mean when you say "we"? You and your imaginary friend?
Thumbs up if you think Doug should make, Kenan randomly come out and sit in the back seats since Doug doesn't wanna do it anymore
I wish Hagerty joins Doug Demuro soon.
I am so glad Doug is reviewing older cars again. Haven't watched a single video of these new cars the past years... Finally a little bit of the old Doug back...
Amen brother. 🙏
He's only doing this cause it's on cars and bids, lmao.
old cars are horrible, they drive terrible and have no technology, no thank you
@Jp_e46 In case you don't know, Thursdays are old/modern classic car review day. Tuesday is new car day.
@@mikedelape6609 old car bad. no apple car play. end of story.
"Before i get started... BIG NEWS"
DON'T EVEN TELL ME IT'S FOR SALE ON CARS AND BIDS!
DOH 😆
Auctioned off!!
It's his job now.
@@moflow99 Matt Groening would agree !
Well there are plenty of BIG NEWS indeed.😅
The joy Doug started having at the end of the drive is like a kid on Christmas. Such a great thing to watch. Watch him be this the next car he buys😂
Demuro gonna buy the Minolta 88C-V probably.😅
15:19 a luxurious kitchen cabinet hinge to access the CD changer 🤣
CD Changers?😅
LOL! omg, that totally is a straight up cabinet hinge...maybe because the CD changer is inside a little cabinet? 🤷🤣
but....more importantly, is it a Ferrari branded hinge? 🤔
Time flies. I remember when these were new in 1995 which still feels like only a couple years ago mentally. When you think about it being 2024, in three more years, the time distance between this car when new to 2027 will be the same time distance from when the 1962 250 GTO and the 1995 456 GT will be the same length. 🥴😵💫🤯
Okay, gramps, step away from the oatmeal.
Time does fly by so fast in life. The Ferrari 456 is such a sporty but not overdone design. Time marches on and we now have the F12 Berlinetta, 813 Super fast, and soon the interesting "F12 Cilindri" - but Ferrari really needs a successor to the F8...
Tuesday: This is the first Ferrari with 4 doors!
Thursday: This 90s Ferrari station wagon had 4 doors!
True, in my town, a 4 door saloon drove around too, Prince Bernhardt
If you pay attention in his Purosangue review, he said it was the first production 4-door Ferrari "with the exception of a few one-offs" like the 456 Venice
that 4 door wagon based on the 456 platform is my absolute dream car...too bad they are so rare, and I could not ever afford one, even after years of depreciation.
Me as a kid: I'll never use long division when I grow up
Ferrari: Imma stop you right there, kid
That's not "long" division.
@@siler7 thanks for pointing out the obvious, Buzz Killington
In 1997 I got to spend most of my summer vacation driving my uncle’s 456 in France, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. It was the most impressive car I’ve ever driven in every respect, and one the German autobahn I got to push it hard and it just settle into a comfortable groove while the engine screamed this incredible mechanical symphony. If I could afford to buy and maintain one I absolutely would. The only problem with experiencing it was having to go back home to the US and our low speed limits and drive my boring Honda Accord.
Gotta love the 90s green over tan combo 🔥
Dark green and dark blue are underrated colors on Ferraris. Everyone wants resale red or yellow but the darker colors look sophisticated.
The dark blue was the launch colour but the green works pretty well too.
I don’t remember the last time Doug reviewed a car that wasn’t “being auctioned live on C&B.”
Just the other day with the new Ferrari Purosangue!
It's at least 10%, you're just not paying attention lol
He said he only does old cars if they're on cars and bids because they don't get as many views as new cars.
“AUCTIONED OFF!!”
He's not a stupid man. It's a good move. He's showing interesting cars, and directing traffic.
The 456GT was the first Ferrari ever I owned back in 1997...What a beautiful memory it was...
In the form of a matchbox 1/64 of course.
Not that I didn't believe you but a 456GT as someone's first NEW Ferrari would be crazy
@epicraptorman Yeah, I didn't believe it myself back then! My dad bought one in maroon red from a local dealer (Toy's R Us) and I often abused it on a track (Hotwheels spiral track set) until its unfortunate wreck beyond usage in 2003 and had to be scrapped then 😔
@@epicraptormanEspecially from Matchbox
Had me in the first half. I mean, I had no reason not to believe random people in comments
I had a picture of the Matchbox. :'(
Doug is the type of guy to review 2 ferraris in 1 week
Cuz he said he would take ferrari over lamborghini 😂
@@shiraishi1 any sane person would
@@zuliwe Except me lowkey
@@DarianSidney what u take urus?
I would imagine they were owned by the same fella, pretty rare that a 456 is your ONLY Ferarri.
Heck yes! I tweeted at Doug to review this car in 2017!! One of my all time favorites. I knew my patience would pay off!
Wish Demuro also reviewed a GTO.
An all time favorite for me as well. An honest to goodness fine automobile.
he did it for u bro he remembered the tweet 7 years later
When Doug reviews your literal dream car, right down to the manual trans and the paint option
Green is such a great color for a special car!
for real...and yeah, red or yellow are to loud and obnoxious for me, I prefer green, blue, or black all day...maybe orange if I do want attention.
Doug the kind of guy who thinks the FWD on a tape deck means Front Wheel Drive.

Auto reverse in the ‘90’s?
Who knew?
It's hard to imagine an exotic car company works release such a restrained, beautiful design today. A car like this wouldn't grab enough attention for their owners on social media, can't have that..
I was the higest bidder on this car for 4 minutes! I bid 900 and then somebody bid over 4k!
I suppose you really imagined yourself as a Ferrari owner there for a while 😅
you had a ferrari to your name for 4 minutes lol
I was gonna outbid you, then I heard about the 'Rari Wagon...
@@saultknutz1166 At $900, I was the top bidder for several minutes
I see you live your life on the edge
My parents were the official doctors of a couple of Ferrari tours back in the 90s
Every time the group went on track they had a bunch of wrist and ankle injuries. Due to the weight of the clutch and the shifter.
With the adrenaline of “racing” everyone was pushing it very hard and not noticing they were actually hurting themselves. But a few minutes (and a bunch of cigarettes) after stopping many of the owners started limping around, complaining about ankle, knee, wrist and forearm pain.
That’s how heavy the controls were
All the best to everyone
And also early to mid 1970s.
It might have been more restrained and sublte, when it came out it was a remarkable design. It might have been one the 90's semi-retrotrendsetters, but the big side outlets and C pillar angles were pretty wild for it's day. Not in a shoutabout away, but in origniality and being different of the design.
The 328 GTS also has some of these designs from 456GT.
You can tell it's a mid 1990's creation immediately. Some of the most beautiful cars ever designed were done so in the late 80's to early 90's and became those cars.
That window gap really bothers me.....
Mee too😮
Should be a pricey repair i think
I'm here to hate the tail lights 😅
Known problem on this model, there's a repair kit that solves this
@@urischwartz6711 the problem is even worse probably, taking into account the car was hit
The wheel and tire fitment looks weird too. Like it doesn't line up right with the fenders.
Doug, Why’d you say it ranked at 49 out of 100 when the points totaled 57?
Doug the kind of guy to jinx his own Doug Score.
Doug the kind of guy who skipped math class.
I stopped watching the scores years ago. They're straight out of a fever dream.
I’m so glad Doug finally reviewed one of my favorite Ferrari‘s of all time! The 456GT is hidden Gem! Got to drive one 2 years ago from a Friend of my Dad! Absolutely love that car!
IT'S MY FAVORITE TOO....
Go buy mate,it's on 3500 dollar mark😂
I can't believe they made a station wagon version. I'd be so happy to have one of those weird cars.
The Venice series 456 were built by Pininfarina. The factory had nothing to do with these cars. Pininfarina ordered standard cars from the factory, converted them to right hand drive and rebodied them.
Yes, mainly for the Sultan of Brunei, the whole operation was supervisioned by Paolo Gardella back then, founder of Manifattura Automobili Torino (New Stratos, Aspark Owl)
@@NotjustSomeone66 exactly
Real beauty like a 550 Maranello as well❤
My dream cars when I was a teenager : Supra; 300ZX; 3000GT VR-4; 850CSI; 456 : In that order !
What year for the 850CSI? I’m guessing the 1995 with the V12?? Man I miss pop-up lights too!
@@jezebulls Hit the nail on the head ! And in my opinion the 850CSI was better than any Bentley or Rolls-Royce at the time. My 88 Mazda RX-7 had pop-up headlights !
@@tommystewart3951 I agree, the Beemer was such a nicely styled coupe, having the V12 gave it real cred. (with the manual)
My black '94 JDM MR2 Turbo has pop-up headlights too :)
It's amazing how much kids and teenagers like them...gets a laugh or a "wow cool" everytime ;)
OP: Those cars you named were my dream cars back in the day as well, but for me there's one more car I needed to add...The NSX
I fell in love with the BMW 850CSi slowly, because I really wanted the 1978 - 1981 BMW M1 so much... But there were only around 453 M1 cars produced to Giugiaro's design. The 850Ci from 1994 - 99 looked like the closest successor we ever got, and I still would do nearly anything to get one of the 1218 made with the updated M73 engines. Though the 850CSi was the sportiest version of these E31 series cars, they only made 1510 and so few of the European spec "four wheel steering" that I get sad looking at the "refreshed" body style that lost a little bit of the "magic" to meet safety and cooling needs.
Of the carried forward designs since the 840 / 850 series cars of 1990 - 1999 the BMW i8 had some initial design promise, thrown away in the pursuit of the electric market, IMHO. But I really think BMW should have got their act together and actually tried producing the "Vision M Next" concept car from June 2019 - it could have been a worthwhile (and very expensive) successor to the original M1, *if* BMW could have ever figured out a proper power train in place of the "plug in hybrid" combined engine they had thought of (with abismal range). If BMW ever could produce a worthy design successor to the original M1 (E26) I would be the first to head to my super high selling regional dealership and throw all my money away to them on deposit, and purchase it.
But even back in the 1990's when the 850Ci /CSi were new, Ferrari captured all my spare time and attention. There is something so... straightforward and pleasant about the 456 design, it is not overwhelmingly complex, yet it never looks "simple" either. But times has moved on, and the Ferrari 458 or 599, or the F12 berlinetta, or even going back to the near unobtainable in the U S 512BB are fantastic looking cars.
Is there something wrong with the Doug score being 49 and 57 at the same time?
Doug the kind of guy who calls a 1980s electric mirror, control joystick odd and strange.
I thought Doug was review a new car.
He said that the joystick mirror on that buick was weird, but that is what chevy used for many years after. My van has the same thing and is 2012
Most GM car mirror controls were non electric, multi cable operated, that looped around the driver door window and passenger mirror had five feet of cables. Yes corrosion was a problem. Kind of nightmarish to fix.
That's not how, commas work.
Really enjoying these ‘older’ car reviews!! Please get some more TVR’s on the channel Doug!! 🤞
Doug is trying to hustle the 456 market. This car deserves more respect and I can agree
Expensive money pits. All now needs expensive bushes, air con compressors are 9k, valve guides 15k, rear suspension always leaks yearly, buttons loose and fall out, clutch 8k...on and on....
I wonder if Doug will break his rule of not buying a car on his auction site for this, he thoroughly enjoyed it
This one’s kinda rough
He said he'll buy them as long as they're no reserve I believe
that gap in the window/pillar is really something
It’s a salvage title. Might have something to do with it
I think the parts were in the lower part of the trunk. Looks like some rubber is being replaced.
@@MrDmac423 it is a common problem on the 456, mine had it too when I bought it. Thankfully there is a shop in Florida who has a permanent fix
4:30 is the sort of trivia I love
Could you make a video about the Ferrari 400/412? Its such a elegant lesser known Ferrari that I never saw someone do a car review on. Thanks!
ua-cam.com/video/W1XkdbStI8E/v-deo.html
I had one of these in the early 2000s gifted to me (long story). Drove it for a year and loved it. Sold it when maintenance was almost due.
😂😂😂
poor buyer
we love ur reviews doug!
Fun to see you drive around in my old neighborhood there near Balboa Park. Thanks for the review Doug. 👍
This is one of the most genuine reactions I’ve seen Doug have to a car in a long time.
One of my favorite all time Ferraris 🏎
Not forgotten !
Probably the most beautiful Ferrari in last 40 years alongside the F355
Cant argue with your choices. The 458 is nice too.
I agree. It certainly hasn’t been forgotten by me. The 456 has always been my favorite Ferrari.
I live near Central London and used to see back in the early naughties the sultan of Brunei's 456 Estate! Car! It looked amazing!
Its so simple to drive, great sound, nice windows (yes, I like cars with big windows), amazing gearbox, very balanced, wonderfull GT car.
GET IN THE BACKSEATS DOUG
This car is unusually dirty for a DeMuro video. Was there no time for the owner to get it detailed(professionally) before making the video? Windows are dirty, paint needs to be polished, the interior could use more work too, that close up of the radio was disgusting.
Not dirty, that paintwork is complete f*cked. Scratches all over it.
The 456 Venice might be the most beautiful wagon ever made. I wonder if Dougie would fly overseas to review that?
Need a review of the 456 wagons.
In Europe we have a 406 version of it.
With a lion in stead of an horse.
And less pistons to break down.
The one with two doors is also designed by Pininfarina.
I regret not buying either the 505 turbo or 506 last year for sale near me. Neither pops up very often in Canada.
It also looks like A 2002 to 2008 Hyundai coupé / Tiburon
@@alphatrion100 I know, it's amazing Ferrari had a time machine back in 1992 and stole the idea from Hyundai 10 years later in the future.
The 406 coupe is a gorgeous car! I loved it when I was a kid.
Doug is the type of guy who teabags his phone.
The 456/456M has always been one of my favourites,. It's one of my dream cars. I've always thought of it as a "beautiful forgotten" car just like Doug mentions in the video title.
I saw one at the London Classic Car Show 2020.
FINALLY! I've been waiting for this review for years!!!
Actually, the designer Pietro Camardella is our close friend and we did a video interview with him in which he explains the design story
ua-cam.com/video/yUO0pKG8JPU/v-deo.htmlsi=SXlHwovNFj_Iikjh
And...?
Doug is the type of guy to wear a grey cars and bird shirt to weddings and funerals
So good to learn about one that I missed. The 90's had some others that seem to bracket this car, the BMW 840 and 850 and the Porsche 928. It would be nice to afford the maintenance on any of those models.
12:33 Doug said he would never review Mondial , 456, and 400/412 , until cars&bids oh well enjoyed this Ford Probe GT review (sarcasm)
Current bid is 456 dollars. Well done whoever that was.
Is it legal to not like wagons?
Yes, it is. Especially if said wagons are ugly (👀 M3 Touring).
Well yes. Not everyone likes the shape or need the extra practicality. A comparable sedan or fastback will look better with minimal cargo space penalty and it will be slightly more aerodynamic, thus marginally lower fuel consumption and noise at higher speeds.
"Displacement and cubic centimeters divided by the number of cylinders" thank you doug this makes sense.
Thanks for the fun review of the old school 'gentlemen's express'! Here's a quick FYI about Ferrari automatics as well as 2+2s in general.
Old school automatic 2+2 Ferraris actually go back quite a long time. The first (that I know of) were 6 late 1960s / early 1970s 365GT 2+2 (Queen Mother) these had a GM Turbo 400 3 speed. Then they skipped the 365GTC/4 and (I think) the 365GT/4 2+2 (the first of the 400-412 body style), which were all manual 5 speed. The majority of the 400, 400i and 412 series were auto (also GM Turbo 400). Then the 456...
Ferrari 2+2s go back to the early 1950s with a 2+2 bodied 212 and became Ferrari's bread and butter with the 250GTE and 330GT but these were all manual transmission (not gated though).
Automatic 456 used Cadillac 4sp box as basis. Ferrari subcontracted Ricardo in UK to design different housing for GM internals to fit at rear of 456 to same location as manual gearbox. 456, 550, 599 and 612 manual and F1 box was done by Grasiano. Grasiano box was also used in many Aston Martin's. Rigardo did competition V8 for Nissan which they didn't end up using. McLaren took that unused design and put it into use in MP4-12C and almost all McLaren's since. Its small world in automotive subcontracting. Everyone is many ways connected to everyone else.
@@erkkavilhunen4916 Thank you for filling out the newer end of the story.
I particularly like your last sentence (although a slightly different topic). As with the top of most industries, the group of key players gets pretty small and they know each other well.
Doug the type of guy to sit on a toilet, fart, then flush.
Here for the Ford Probe comments.
In the Doug Scores table I notice that if you gave *my* '05 Ferrari 612 the same Styling number as Doug gives to this 456 -- an 8, not a 5 -- the additional three points would vault the 612 to first place, ahead of the Ferrari 550, the Murcie, the SLR, and the 360 Strad!
You have a 612? Congrats. That is a lovely undervalued car.
@@kenlykkeslett7501 Soon to be a 612 with gated six, the larger MAFs from the 599 and 6-into-1 headers with valved mufflers (hopefully bumping hp from 533 to 600), some carbon fiber aero stuff, and Topline Products coilovers with pneumatic front and rear lifts. (I hope any Ferrari tifosi reading this had their fainting couches nearby.)
@@billhenley6605 I was doing the same calculation! I have a 2008 612 beauty, a car I obsessed over since Clarkson’s drive to Verbier and bought in 2021.
I remember watching Michael Jordan pull up in one these to a bulls game. I thought it was the coolest thing I’d ever seen. Of course i was 17 at the time but still. Such a magnificent vehicle.
It’s not a supercar, please stop overusing that word. It’s a gentleman’s GT. It’s not meant for racing, it’s for comfortable highway cruising. Not everything with a V12 is a supercar.

The 456, 612 scaglietti, 348, 550 and the 360 are my favorite ferraris 🥲
I’ve had my 1998 456 GTA for over 7 years now and it’s amazing how much love this car gets despite how they are often one of the least expensive Ferrari’s to buy right now. I do have lots of people who owned several Ferrari’s try to guess the model and many of them get it wrong. It is cool owning a rarer Ferrari although it’s not the fastest or best made model.
Dougs the kind of guy to finally get a haircut
16:51 That 456 Venice wagon is nice *AF!* 🤯🤩
One quirk and feature of my 456 GTA that not many people know about is if you want to access the transmission, there’s a panel in the floor of the trunk with a ton of 10mm bolts that you can remove to access the top of the trans.
You can never go wrong with a doug demuro review
I love how the lid for the CD changer compartment has the same hinge as my kitchen cabinets.
I’ve always absolutely loved this car and am glad you share my love for it as well. Since I was a kid I thought this was the most beautiful Ferrari ever, especially the Venice.
Goddamnit Doug, you Doug Effected the 456GT before I could buy one. I’ve wanted one since Car and Driver raced one against a plane in 1995.
Bro you're awsome. No real editing tricks. Just great information with a real life picture aka video 😂
Edit: This Ferrari is older than me.
Great review! I had exactly the same driving experience, its so surprisingly agile! Funny enough that too was green/tan, shame I didn’t buy it (2014)
Wow, just like the 550 Maranello, whose review was uploaded only two weeks ago, this still looks great today, even at almost 30 years old!
Great design is timeless.😉
A friend of mine used to have one (in gunmetal grey paint, but with the same interior as this one) for several years, it was his first Ferrari and he was very happy with it.
I lusted after the 456 too in the 90's. The design was so well balanced. Definitely ahead of it's time.
Doug - about the trunk button - the valet gives you your keys to the 456, you get in, you open the trunk by pushing the button, then the valet puts your pakages in the trunk. Remember, it was a 90's Lusso.
As always, great video. I'd like to see you review an 812 Competizione A. You could probably ask David Lee to review his. It's pretty wild looking.
Doug’s the kind of guy to review a Ferrari in a school bus paddock.
Doug got a hair cut !
The genuine happiness is immense for this gorgeous 457
I enjoy Doug's quirks. I do not enjoy his choice to perform a seated review that places his undercarriage two feet from the camera and uncomfortably highlights his features 😂
Gorgeous car. Thx for reviewing it.
This was I think Doug’s biggest This yet!
My dad’s friend has one bought it new… yea the description of the buyer was super accurate lol
Pretty sure those shallow storage depressions are for sunglasses (driver and passenger) and the other for a checkbook and pen
Doug, you forgot that after the 456GT there was also the 550 Maranello which was a similar GT car with the F430 being the sportcars at that time. The 612 came much later.
Nfs Hot pursuit 2 made me love Ferrari. Hearing that horn as kid made was a odd sound 😂
