Good day All,

Just documenting these cars, as I find them. This car just sold for $31K USD on BAT:

Interestingly it does have a CA BAR Sticker which would potentially allow for CA registration.

Cheers,

Sam

1984 Ferrari 400i Auto
Color: Black Exterior with Tan Interior
Mileage: 43K Miles (?)
Location: AZ USA
VIN: ZFFEB06B000053191
Chassis: 53191
Sold: $31K USD

This 1984 Ferrari 400i is a European-market example that was imported to the US and federalized in 1985, and it was acquired by the seller in December 2001. The car is powered by a fuel-injected 4.8-liter DOHC V12 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission, and it is finished in black over tan leather upholstery. Equipment includes 16″ alloy wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, pop-up headlights, dual-zone climate control, a MOMO steering wheel, and a Blaupunkt cassette stereo. Service in November 2023 included replacing the ignition control module, an ignition coil, spark plugs, battery, front sway bar bushings, rear control arm bushings, tires, transmission pan gasket, exhaust hangers, driver’s door panel, and center console in addition to fuel system components. This 400i is now offered with the removed 415mm metric alloy wheels, manufacturer’s literature, service records, a tool kit, an accident-free Carfax report, and a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.

The Pininfarina-designed body is finished in black and features pop-up headlights, dual side mirrors, a vented hood, bright window trim, and quadruple exhaust outlets with polished finishers. A dent is noted on the right-front fender along with chips on the front end and cracking around the fuel filler door.

Silver-finished 16″ alloy wheels are wrapped in 225/60 Continental Control Contact Tour A/S Plus tires, which were mounted in November 2023. Additional work performed during that time involved replacing the front sway bar bushings, rear control arm bushings, and brake lines.

The four-place cabin features tan leather on the seats and door panels. Appointments include dual-zone climate control, a Blaupunkt cassette stereo, power windows and mirrors, and Ferrari-logo floor mats. Tears and cracks present on the outer driver’s seat bolster, the sun visor clips are broken, and the clock is inaccurate.

The three-spoke MOMO steering wheel fronts Veglia instrumentation consisting of a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline as well as a 180-mph speedometer and gauges for oil pressure and coolant temperature. Auxiliary gauges are mounted in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 43k miles, approximately 10k of which were added under current ownership. The Carfax report lists a mileage inconsistency in October 1999, and the seller reports that the speedometer is inoperative. Total mileage is unknown.

The 4.8-liter DOHC V12 features Bosch fuel injection and was rated at 310 horsepower and 304 lb-ft of torque when new. Work performed in November 2023 included replacing the ignition control module, an ignition coil, the spark plugs, and the battery as well as the fuel tank, distributor, injectors, and accumulators.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. The exhaust was replaced reportedly in 2013, and the transmission gasket and exhaust hangers were replaced in November 2023. Corrosion is present on the underside, additional photos of which are shown in the gallery.

A California Bureau of Automotive Repair engine identification label is present on the driver’s door jamb.

The removed 415mm metric alloy wheels are included in the sale.

I saw this auction. I believe the seller inherited the car and wanted to get rid of it, since it had a reserve and the reserve was very low at or below 31k. The seller was not very well informed about the car and there appeared to be few buyers.
