1983 - Ferrari 400 I Automatic Beautiful restoration and color combination Excellent road handling Sold with its original booklets and manuals French registration Chassis n° 45003 By signing, in 1972, the design of the Ferrari 365 GT/4, which was to become the Ferrari 400, Pininfarina shows all his talent: the line is sober, elegant, timeless and perfectly translates the high status of this luxury sports car. So much so that, from the 365 GT/4 to the 412, this model had an exceptionally long career, only disappearing from the brand's catalog in 1989. Its spacious, comfortable and luxuriously finished interior is upholstered in leather right up to the headliner, while its 12-cylinder engine combined with General Motors' Hydramatic three-speed automatic transmission gives it a torque and torque curve never before seen in a GT car of its class. Delivered new on September 15, 1983 in Hamburg, this Ferrari 400i is one of 873 examples equipped with the automatic transmission. Beautifully restored between 2015 and 2017, it has just over 63,000 km on the clock. The bodywork has been fully repainted in its original and uncommon Celeste Metallizzato shade. The alignments are impeccable as well as the repainted rims fitted with new Michelin TRX. The upholstery has been completely redone at Luppi in Italy for an amount of 7,000 € respecting scrupulously the finishing details of the 83 vintage with smooth and pleated leather seats. The dashboard, the roof lining, the doors and the carpets have also been redone in the same shade of blu scuro leather (VM 3282). In the end, the combination of these two shades of blue is superb and enhances the taut lines of this 2+2 coupe. Matching numbers, this car has its Ferrari certificate but also its maintenance booklet, original manuals as well as the copy of the first car registration. Overhauled in 2016, all the running gear has been changed with the replacement of shocks, silentblocks, ball joints and stabilizer bars. During our road test, the 310 hp are well present and the automatic gearbox does not hinder the driving pleasure. Both in fast curves and on winding roads with bumpy surfaces, the car remains precise, perfectly guided thanks to the power steering. As for the braking, even though we can feel that the car weighs its weight, it is up to the task.
