Historically Ferrari has produced some of the most stunning Grand Touring cars dating back to the 50?s ? 60?s; 250 GT/PF, 250 GTE, 330 GT, 365 GT 2+2 and the predecessor to the 400 GT, the 365 GT4 2+2. In 1976 and still using 6 Webers, the 400 GT was the first Ferrari to offer an optional automatic transmission. By 1979 the 400GT ?I? (for fuel injection) was introduced and during the 6 year production run approximately 422 cars out of some 1300 were delivered with 5 spd manual transmissions. This stylish front engine, V12, 5spd, GT four seater models are now in high demand among Ferrari collectors.
Often billed as the ?Gentleman?s Sedan?, The Ferrari 400GT styled by Pininfarina, is a debonair 2 + 2 coupe that certainly has all the right credentials. It arrives here in black on black and comes with the all-important factory 5spd manual transmission. This Ferrari is a good car, there are no signs of prior body damage, and it is evident that the previous owners took good care of this car, considering that the paint is over 10 years old and it looks new. In the past few years it has had a full mechanical service including the rebuilding the self-leveling suspension components, and to enhance the ride even more, later Ferrari 328 GTS 16? wheels replace the original 15?s. The car is in excellent overall condition. Recently this Ferrari was displayed on the lawn at the 26th annual Ferrari Cavallino Classic at the Breakers Hotel in West Palm Beach. This car is well sorted out, superbly detailed and ready for the next owner to enjoy touring on the road or display at the next exotic car event.
