For Sale at Auction: 1984 Ferrari 400I in Auburn, Indiana

Introduced as the successor to the 365 GT4 2+2, the Ferrari 400i represented Ferrari's continued commitment to refined grand touring through the late 1970s and into the 1980s. While Ferrari had built its reputation on raw, competition-bred machines, models like the 400 series reflected a different philosophy, one centered on comfort, usability, and effortless high-speed travel. Styled by Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina, the 400i featured clean, understated lines that emphasized elegance over aggression, a marked contrast to the more flamboyant mid-engine Ferraris of the era. Beneath its long hood is a 4.8-litre Colombo V-12 engine, a direct descendant of the power plants that had defined Ferrari since the marque's earliest days under Enzo Ferrari. In "i" specification, introduced in 1979, the model adopted Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, improving drivability, emissions compliance, and reliability over the earlier carbureted versions. Paired with either a five-speed manual or a smooth-shifting automatic transmission, the 400i was designed to cover long distances with ease, offering a composed ride, ample interior space, and true four-seat practicality. Built in relatively limited numbers, it remains one of the more discreet and sophisticated expressions of Ferrari's grand touring lineage. This particular 1984 example presents as an exceptionally well-preserved and thoughtfully maintained car, showing just 17,058 original miles from new. Finished in the iconic shade of Rosso Corsa, its exterior retains a deep finish that highlights the model's crisp Pininfarina styling, while the tan interior provides a warm and inviting contrast, reflecting the car's grand touring purpose. Both inside and out, the condition is very nice, indicative of careful ownership and low miles. Mechanically, this 400i is equipped with its correct 4.8-litre V-12 engine, featuring Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and the Dinoplex electronic ignition system, ensuring smooth, reliable performance. This car has benefited from consistent servicing at Ferrari of Palm Beach and is accompanied by service receipts documenting its maintenance history. Further enhancing its appeal, this example was shown at the prestigious Cavallino Classic in 2025, underscoring both its quality and presentation. Included with the car is a Cavallino Classic event brochure featuring the vehicle, a tool roll and jack kit, and a clean and detailed CARFAX� report. Blending understated Ferrari design with genuine usability and V-12 performance, this 400i stands as a compelling opportunity for enthusiasts seeking a well-preserved, low-mileage example of one of Maranello's most refined grand touring automobiles. * Shown at the 2025 Cavallino Classic
