The 400 SuperAmerica Cabriolet is one of the rarest of all Ferrari convertible road cars. This cabriolet is one of just seven built on the shorter SuperAmerica chassis. This factory hand-built Ferrari took two-and-one half years to complete.

The first owner was Nicolo de Nora of Milano, Italy who took possession in early 1961. It was brought to the United States and 1965 and sold to Ted Dibble. Under his care, the car was given a roll bar and painted red. In 1968 it was sold to Bruce Russell of Vancouver, Wa, who had the car repainted yellow and removed the roll bar.
