Ferrari VIN Decoder

Ferrari has built road cars in Maranello since 1947. Because so many are collected, a Ferrari’s VIN and chassis number carry unusual weight in its value.

Built before 1981?

Can I decode a Ferrari VIN from before 1981?

Not yet. A Ferrari built before 1981 used a shorter, manufacturer-specific number rather than the 17-character standard, and our classic decoder does not cover Ferrari so far. Every VIN searched there is recorded, and the makes people look up most are the ones we add next.

Reading a Ferrari VIN

What do the first three characters of a Ferrari VIN mean?

Every modern Ferrari begins ZFF. Before standardized VINs, Ferrari used chassis numbers, and road cars traditionally took odd numbers, which is why the chassis number is the first thing checked on an older example.
