    Hi, I am thinking of buying a 1980 400I from a company in Texas, Crave Luxury,
    Does anybody have any information or know the history of the car has it been restored, damaged, re painted, engine over haul, at some time and so on? The Vin/Chassis number is X31005x.
    Ferrari friends in my local club over here in Norway were suggesting asking for this here at the forum.
    I would be grateful for any information that can lead me to a safe buy.

    Allan

    It's been up for sale for a while and there's been a lot of discussion on it in this forum.

    Are you interested in a 5-speed or automatic?

    Has anyone actually seen this car ? I followed the previous thread with interest but wondered if the car was actually any good because it does look very nice.

    Allan ! ..... why buy a car from US, there is a lot of cars in Germany/Italy and also in Sweden. I can recomend at least 2 cars in Sweden for sale at a reasonable price.

    Hm,, the old tread was not to good, mush written but not so much concrete.
    I feel that Crave not are telling all the know,,, they are not telling about the interior, it looks also as the car has been repainted,, the paint are a little shallow,, that was not normal for the old style paint that was used back then. But are normal now whit the modern paint.
    Thank you all for helping info.

    I would prefer a 5 speed manual, maybe I will find one soon, or maybe I will take a weekend trip to Texas to have a lock..
    If there are good cars for sale in Europa I am listening.

    Allan
