A detailed web log of the building of a Ferrari 400 with 456 mechanicals and other pieces.

I just came across this blog with a very interesting project: http://users.tpg.com.au/atrampus/blog/
Turns out the blog was far less detailed as envisioned. I wonder what happened with the project and the cars. I will add it in any case to the project section - just for the records. On Fchat I found the matching thread, which stranded as well:

More and more I start wondering how many good 400's are remaining in running condition ...

Ferrari 365 / 400 / 412 pictures

I figured I had to make a start to make a central place for the picture section. I decided to make again use of the Shared Google Drive, rather then using Picasa, Tumblr or Instagram. For now I only added a section on the sidebar for the 412 (365/400 to follow). I'm aiming only for the 'official' photos. I think I will add a miscellaneous section for other great pictures I come across. As Always, any contribution is welcomed.

Hungarian 365 GT4 2+2 part II

A few weeks ago  I posted this blog:

http://erwin400.blogspot.nl/2014/05/citroen-pasztor-classic-32-ferrari-365.html

Apparently this was a known one. It appears the F400 European club had a very nice article about this car and the owner. The 2nd part of the article does contain an English translation:

For the records:

The car is an ex NL car : http://www.ferrari-register.nl/ferrari/home/stradali-nuovi/365-400-412/gt4-22/19453

He bought it dark red/black and then it appeared from Ferrari Classiche that it was originally Marrone Colorado on Tan Leather, so he restored it completely. 

This car (19453) has the particularity to be one of the very last 365 GT4 2+2 produced after the very first 400. (19353):

Ferrari 400 V12 coffee table Part II

Remember this one?

Here is another one. I don't hope this is becoming a trend:

Let's see when the first Ferrari 400 V12 wine rack pops up ...

Ferrari 365 + 400 - Manifold Pressure Tool by Overland - Carburettor synchronisation

By coincidence I found this tool as I was watching someone's profile on FChat due to a nice picture he posted. The profile was highlighting the following website: http://www.haabakken.com
He tailormade a very nice kit to measure the manifold pressure and display the results realtime graphically on your laptop. I think this is far more practical then a bunch of vacuum gauges or Mercury gauges. A great tool to have when syncing your carbs. Let the demo speak for itself. I will add this to the company section on the sidebar.
