That's not the car's VIN, is it an Amerisport serial #?

Mike Drew sent me the following info and has been a great source of info as
usual.
As for the master cylinder, the question is not easily answered. The later
cars like yours used a Bonaldi master that was externally identical to that
of the early cars but with a larger-diameter bore. Thus the standard
replacement Pantera master cylinder will not work.
The early master was 23mm and the GT5 series use 25mm bores.
I THINK but don't know for sure that the one you need is shared with the
later Ferrari Testarossa (512TR)
Looking around at Ferrari parts sources it seems the Testarossa uses a
1-inch master which is right at 25mm. I see them listed for sale here in
England:

You could probably find a Testarossa master cylinder here easily enough.
Here is one on eBay:
