Which 400 series to buy?

Erik,

Nice shots, but the 'new bits' are not visible. Unless the exhaust is new. Where are the pictures of the suspension???

Regards,

Art S.

 

Exhaust was detailed, along with the underside, repainted the fiberglass under the spare wheel. Suspension bits are boring, repainted Konis (fronts rebuilt), new bushings. Installed a period correct front plate, proper front plate bracket.

 

Wheels were also repainted, waiting on Pirelli to make a set of P4000s (everyone is out right now). Valve stems are correct Ferrari bits.

 

Hi Brett, Alastair. My car is Blu Scuro (repainted in '93 - originally Celeste Gainsborough), and the interior trim was recently restored by a local chap who did a fantastic job of bringing the 2-tone blue leather back to vibrant life/colour! I'll post some pics when I get the chance to take some next month.

Regards, Ray.

 

Erik, when you say period correct plate and bracket, for what country? Also, if you don't mind sharing, from where did you source the bracket and can it be used for a larger style U.S. plate? Does the bracket require drilling or other modification to install? Just curious.

 

Italy, 1975. Autotermini in Naples was the original dealer, purchased a vintage set of plates off of eBay about a year ago. Plate holder came from Eurospares. Didn't need to drill as the original bolts were still on the car.

Erik, thanks for the extra pix. While mine was delivered new in Italy as well, I don't believe I still have the pre-drilled holes or bolts. I will double check, though. I'm trying to figure out whether to hang the front plate or not....and I'd prefer to take the least invasive approach.

 

Gregg:

Not sure about your car, but I had 4 bolts in mine prior to adding the plate. The holder is NLA, but the plate holder is still available.

If you need more detailed pics, please let me know.

Really beautiful cars, guys! From their condition it's clear they are well cared for, too.

Has anyone downloaded the "Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2, 400/412 Buyer's Guide" available from ***********/library/guides.php? If so what did you think of it?
