Notes
Allemano, Bertone, Frua, Ghia, Monterosa, Pininfarina, Touring all tried their hand on the 5000GT, the first two models of which were derived directly from the 450S and still retained the gear driven camshafts from the racing engine. The first 5000GT was created specifically for the Shah of Persia who had been impressed by the 3500GT and wanted something similar befitting his position.  Three 'Shah of Persia' models were produced by Touring. The first two cars manufactured can be regarded as the first series as they retained the dimensions of the 450S and its gear driven overhead camshafts. Subsequent models commenced what could be regarded as the second series and included a similarly powered, fuel injected engine of different dimension with chain driven overhead cams  Allemano became the favoured coachbuilder, building most of the 32 cars manufactured,
