Saw this evening on ebay, anyone know the car and owner? A nice OSU BUCKEYE color combination. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1987-Ferrari-412-Ferraris-Grand-Touring-car_W0QQitemZ320154668947QQihZ011QQcategoryZ6212QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting Ciao...Paolo
Noticed with this model line that the elec. ignition unit was no longer mounted to the underside of the bonnet---was the same module located in a different spot (where?) or a different unit altogether?
That is a nice 412. I wouldn't mind taking a look at it, and it is only about 3 hours north of me. I'll have to monitor the auction.
If I'm not mistaken, this car has been owned for a very long time by one of the nicest couples ever to chair FCA events in the Atlanta are (or anywhere else, for that matter.) I remember seeing this car about ten years ago and it is (was) immaculate. This car is a cherished example... I'm absolutely sure that that car's gotten everything it's ever needed to stay straight. I wish I could pull the trigger... -Peter www.peterkrause.net
It looks pretty clean. Sent them a message via ebay, hopefully they will give me the opportunity to take a peek this week.
This 412i was sold @ $38000. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1987-Ferrari-412-Ferraris-Grand-Touring-car_W0QQitemZ320154668947QQihZ011QQcategoryZ6212QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting But, here is another; http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1986-Ferrari-412-Only-576-made-340-HP-Excellent-Cnd_W0QQitemZ110166374353QQihZ001QQcategoryZ6212QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Ciao...Paolo
$38K, hmm...what do you guys think? Good price? The car really appears to be well sorted. Duane, did you end up pulling the trigger?
That's a deal, IMHO! Knowing what it takes to "sort" these cars, as a new purchase especially, this was below market for a car in this condition. That said, a car is worth what someone will pay for it... -Peter www.peterkrause.net
In addition to the way the ad was written the tri-color interior of brown, tan, and black isn't helping the sale of this car any.
