The Ferrari 400 Series was a new 2+2 that continued the Prancing Horse marque's tradition of offering a true luxury car with four rear seats and fitted with every possible amenity. They were introduced at the 1976 Paris Auto Show and signaled the first time a factory-installed automatic was an option. The Pininfarina designed body was accented by Ferrari's five-spoke magnesium wheels.
This car features many rare modifications and characteristics that set it apart from most GTi 400s. It was purchased on February 27th of 1984 by Greg Garrison. It was ordered with Watermelon paint and a beige leather interior. It has the manual transmission and over 412 upgrades. Garrison had written Pininfarina a letter asking him 'to think of special things to add to this car.' There are color coded bumpers and electric seats as well as distinctive chrome trim. The car has a hood scoop that was two-and-a-half times larger than standard. The interior features a double-insulated leather headliner, extra sound deadening and heat-resistant panels specifically designed to cope with demanding desert conditions.
In 2007 it was brought to the Gooding & Company auction held in Pebble Beach, Ca where it was estimated to sell for $30,000 - $40,000 and offered without reserve. Bidding surpassed those estimates, settling at $46,200 including buyer's premium.
Considered to be the lesser-known front-engined 2+2 coupes, the Ferrari 400 and 412 began production in 1976.
First introduced in 1976, the Ferrari 400i lasted until 1984. A total of 507 of the Ferrari 400i were produced and introduced at the Paris Show in 1972.
The body style was coupe and had a 4.8 L FI V12 engine.
At first, the chisel-edged Pininfarina shape was showcased as the 365 GT4 2+2 with a four-cam 4.4-litre V12 with a five-speed manual gearbox only. A short lived variant, the 365 was a 150 mph 4-seater that was replaced in 1976 by the 400GT.
In 1979 the 400i came with Bosch injection to enhance smoothness though it robbed the V12 of 30 bhp. The Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection replaced the carburetors on the 400. The emissions were much improved but the power was down substantially.
1985 introduced the 412 the last of the 400 line and considered to be the best model lasted until 1989. Improved with an increase in displacement to 4943 cc, the newest 400, now came with ABS.
The most civilized Ferrari of its generation, they were the first models to offer automatic transmission. Introduced in 1976 at the Paris Motor Show, the 400 Automatic (or 400A) offered a 3-speed unit from General Motors.
The engine was based on the Daytona, was a 4.8 L (4823 cc) V12 that was capable of producing 340 hp. It carried the traditional GT car layout with driving rear wheels mounted in front.
Only 147 models were five-speed manuals which showed the direction that the market was heading.Elizabeth Johnson
