At least it has been driven in the past 11 years. When it was advertised for sale in Hawaii in 1998, asking price $40,000 it had only 7,324 miles. ******************************************************** 1982 Ferrari 400i GT Ferrari : 400i Item number: 110414718427 Current bid: US $10,100.00 Reserve not met Your maximum bid: US $ Place Bid (Enter US $10,200.00 or more) Get low monthly payments -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- End time: Jul-23-09 20:26:56 PDT (3 days 23 hours) Shipping: Buyer responsible for vehicle pick-up or shipping.

I seem to recall a 400 or 412 sedan being built for the Sultan of Brunei, but this one looks like it only has two doors.
Interesting that it's running Hawaii plates, new style. Yet the seller is in Texas. What are we missing? It is true that Burton and Taylor spent a lot of time in Hawaii, mostly on Kauai. Elizabeth Taylor's brother had a notorious hippy compound (on her land) on the North Shore of Kauai in the early '70s, called "Taylor Camp". The stuff of legends.
Sorry I missed the listing. I'll bet the doofus who added that badge to the back was sniffing the seats.
