Description
Ferrari 400 GT, carbs, manual gearbox
I’m presenting this car to you; I haven’t been a dealer for 20 years.
It’s a vehicle from my personal collection.
When I was young, I worked a few years for Ferrari Belgium, led by Mr Swaters, the Francorchamps workshop.
I know Italian cars from the 1960s–1980s well.
I’m offering this rare Ferrari 400 GT, carbs, manual gearbox.
Obviously, as everyone knows, this model is much criticised, hence accessible, rarely in good condition, 85% of the cars offered being imported from the United States.
But what should you know…
1. A Ferrari 400 with a GM 3-speed automatic, intended for an American V8 that doesn’t exceed 4, 500 RPM, remains a crime!
2. A Colombo V12 with injection… a second crime!
So, if you crave a double “ferraricide”, a 400 injection with auto box is for you.
Of the 400 GTs, carb, manual gearbox, 167 were produced.
It’s estimated that about 100 are roadworthy in the world.
Cherry on the cake, the one offered here has never left its nest, long-time owned by the GP of Codogno, this town in Italy about 50 kilometres from Maranello, sadly known for having the highest mortality rate in Italy during the Covid pandemic.
This explains things; the doctor probably made a new fortune and very likely equipped himself with an F12.
In short, this specimen is ultra-rare; Enzo would certainly have seen it pass in front of his house.
It has been maintained by proper Italian specialists.
On import from Italy, the vehicle was shown to the French importer who confirmed the original serial numbers of all components: engine, gearbox, differential, etc… Total matching.
To keep it simple, a list of works carried out very recently, by me, to make this vehicle reliable and performing is detailed on my blog.
If you’re not convinced or cautious…
A rolling bitcoin, something you can caress every day, is better than a curve on a screen.
Me, obviously, I’m 73, my future is behind me and the guaranteed rise in value of this machine no longer belongs to me.
