Once a 400 was imported to the US its history is rather transparent, but how can the cars info before that be traced?

 

Warner Le Roy owned 412 s/n 66557. Audrey Meadows owned 400i 29867. The Richard Burton car was 38669.

In '92, Elton John purchased #63907, a 412i, later sold at Christies for a Celebrity-Sat-Here sum, as it was on the block with 29 other cars from his fleet.

That said, you may find the above link extremely useful - if you know how to work it. *wiggles eyebrows*

 

Sammy Davis had one.

Dave Stacy's got one with special rear lights!

I saw that car last March - it's in the 'vault' at the Petersen Museum in L.A. Not sure if they're going to rotate it into display any time soon.

There was a blue one in Rain Man. Was there one in Jerry Maguire too?

 

I recall that Wilt Chamberlain had a 400i -- these guys claim they did the work:

Norm beechey ,twice Australian Touring car Champion had a early manual 365,amongst his car's was the 1st man to race a '64 Mustang and won the ATCC in it and then in '70 won the title in his "Trans Aus" 350 Monaro against a hord of Mustangs,Camaro's and 2.5 litre Porsche 911 's. google the man ot your tube him.

 

Tom Cruise drove a 400i in Rain Man, not Jerry Maguire.

 

Now that's funny Aidan!

 

The sammy Davis Jr. car was on ebay when I was looking for my 308 back in Nov - Dec of 2000 it was a 76 and I believe it had 8,XXX miles on it.

 

I just can't imagine Wilt cramping into one of these. My dad introduced me to him @ 30th St. station/Philly when I was 7 yrs. old (I wasn't as high as his crotch at the time). I've been meaning to pull the undertray pans above the mid-section exhaust boxes to see if I can shift the driver's seat rails back further, @ 5'-10 1/2" I still kind of feel cramped.

 

I didn't know who Wilt was so I checked him out - according to Wikipedia "He... became notorious for his claim to have had sex with 20,000 women..." Being so irresistible to the ladies is obviously a common problem for 400 owners!

Evil Kenievel had a red 365 with Montana plates. Apparently he had been able to keep it in Montana without having to federalize the car (which no one was doing at that time).

fez1238, would you be so kind to disclose the VIN of your (ex-Wyman)-car to me?

 

It was cut.

 

Actually, I think it had been with over 20,000 drivers

 

the rat pack car is now in austria and sometimes in florida in the house of the austrian owner.
