Vehicle Description
This vehicle is located at our Zonhoven Belgium Facility and is
eligible for importation to the United States. Please contact us
for more information. All vehicles are located at our South
Carolina facility unless otherwise noted. Price includes delivery
to our Aiken, SC facility.Unconventional and very rare 'metallic
gold' FERRARI 400 GT with beautiful aged cream leather interior
with dark brown inlays. And real wood trim that decorates the high
console and a traditional three spoke steering wheel that dominates
the drivers view. The power comes from the renown and powerfull V12
front mounted engine with a capacity of 4823 cc, double overhead
camshafts on each power bank and 2 valves per cylinder. Breathing
through a set of 6 double Weber DCOE38 carburetors. Producing about
340 bhp. And attached to a 5 speed manual gearbox with a limited
slip rear end.The 400 family has the record of being in production
for longer than any other Ferrari body style. The three box coupe
styling from Pininfarina is a real child of the seventies. With
distinctive wedge shapes and pop up head lamps. The gentle suprise
of a slightly eccentric GT. And is definitely in vogue today. It
had a sixteen year production run simply because customers were
still buying them.This 400 GT is one of the 142 built cars.
(combination of manual gearbox and Weber carburetors). It wears
chassis number F101CL27485; It is really super rare because a
number of them have been broken up to use their mechanics in
Daytona Spider replicas. Because they were the cheapest on the
market.In 2004 this car had a 24500 Swiss Franc service at
Carrozzeria Ascari sa in Lugano, Switzerland. Including 4 tires,
carburetor set up, adjusting valve clearance, all fluids and
filters and reconditioning of the suspension.At that time it was
registered on Brunelli-Boscaro Annie. In January 2011 it became
part of a large private collection in Belgium. We sold her 3 years
ago to a well known Belgium collector and he has swapped her for
another car in our collection after driving her more than 5000 km
in the past few years.Despite being a heavy car the performance is
still impressive. The manual version offers much of the same
attributes as the earlier GT Ferraris for a much cheaper price. It
really offers you a rewarding driving experience.This metallic gold
example is a real time wrap. Like a precious jewel. With some
imagination you can see Alain Delon drive the car through the
streets of Cannes of Monaco. With a cigarette between his lips and
a beautiful lady in the passengers seat. A car like this who has
enjoyed some loving attention could make a superb addition to
someone's collection. To drive and enjoy.
