New member asking for your help

I would guesstimate around $25-30,000. Depends on the quality of the convertible conversion, etc. Pictures would be great.

Try this for starters......mind you, these are 'asking' price indices.

I would think a signif. decline from orig. w/carbed motor replaced w/FI.

 

"The engine was updated in 1983 to a new V-12 Fuelie"
Which model Ferrari did the V12 come out of? Would love to see pictures of a V12 in a GT4.

 

Brian, the 365 is sometimes left off the GT4. When you think about it the two cars have about the same desigination. The 365 makes a big difference. It's like the Simpsons when Homer is in the back of the truck looking thru the small holes of the cow costume he is wearing and see laughter house, a moment latter (as he gets closer) he looks again and see the missing part of the name. He now looks and reads slaughter house! One letter can make a slight difference .

 

Nice looking car, I've never seen a convertible conversion with such a low folded roof and that hard tonneau looks pretty cool. Do you have any pictures with the top up?

As to value, it's hard to say but the highest value will result if there is the documentation as to who did the engine swap, the convertible conversion and then of course the history of the car and its condition. If the recent $10,000 dealer service is supported by detailed docs (what did it cover?), and the tires are new then I could see this car in the $35K area. The non-standard engine is probably a slight deduction in value since the carbs tend to be more valued than the fuel injection but the offset is that if the engine truly does have only 5,000 miles on it since the rebuild (or I guess possibly new since it was installed in 1983) and has been maintained, I'd say it might balance out the deduction for not being standard. Of course, as for any Ferrari, especially a 35 year old one that has had major work in the engine replacement and convertible conversion, the value drops quickly if any of the claims don't prove out.

 

i was just going to say...hmm..rear 400 lights, 400 engine, 400 front?? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,,,,what the hell is that 365gt4 plaque doing in that engine bay!! lol...or do the 365 have the two lights in the back??

 

The convertible conversion looks very nicely done indeed. The car does seem to be more 400 than 365, but still very nice though non-original.

Which raises the question of what is the title status? Clean? Not salvage for a car that was built up from a wreck?

 

Late 365 GT/4s have 400 style taillights. The one thing (besides the the vin tag) that gives away that it is a 365 is the knock offs.

By the way, is the original engine still around?

A picture of it with the top up would be nice.

 

Looks like 400 wheel spinners too,well for Aussie and Euro they should be triple eared.

 

My Aussie register says 76/77 changeover to 400,any other clues....interim?

 

Simon,

Late 365 GT/4 2+2s had 400 style taillights.

I was unaware that Ferrari continued with splined hubs in Australia for the 400 series. As far as I knew, they switched over to lug nuts for the 400s everywhere.

YOU,RE RIGHT ART,my bad.Looked up an article that confirms you but does mention the lights changing to twins for the 400.S
