Ferrari Other Red | eBay Too bad a Series I 400i had to die to let this exist. A quote from the listing: "400i's are kind of ugly so I gave it a facelift." Even the engine is gone as he used a Maserati unit.
Yeah, I posted a few days ago. If you search the serial number here, you'll find posted pictures how it used to be....including some of the later sales history.
Picture shows a V8 so he can't even get his listing right, but if it had the Ferrari V12 in it at least it would have some cachet.
Not for the price this donor was purchased for. Not a bad end for something that would have never been restored anyway.
Here are the pictures of the last ad for the donor on ebay: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/141784922-post8.html There was not a lot of that left that could have been restored into a running 400i. Although not my tastes, it is an interesting project to have pulled off. He appears to do interesting work.

Not my taste either but for the cost of a dirt cheap Ferrari chassis and an even less desirable (probably Q-porte III) engine/trans this fellow can turn a nice profit. I really admire the skill it takes to build something like this but for the record, I think the 400i was prettier.
