Ferrari 400 Automatic - 1976 - One Owner - For Sale

I saw this one advertised today. A early 400 from the 1st owner, that's pretty cool. Nice color combo as well. Comes with full service history. Despite the required paint job it seems like a very interesting price to me.

Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 Carrozzeria Pavesi

This is an interesting one, so I will free up blog space for it:

http://www.motorcargallery.com/vin18371.html

The 365 GT4 2+2 was only produced till 1976 but this one appears to be from 1977. Furthermore there are not many Pavesi builds known. The only thing I can see different on the interior is the wooden inlay. I have seen a similar thing done on a 400i Pavesi wich I came across during my hunt: http://erwin400.blogspot.nl/2013/11/the-hunt-part-iv-ferrari-400i-pavesi.html

This one can be yours for $ 58.500,-

Update: I just found this advertisement on the following website (I wonder what the price was). At least some more pictures on the interior, I will add a few more below for the records.

Milestone : 5000 pageviews

Although it's not my interest to gain as much hits as possible it's interesting to see how it's developing though. When I started I only shared the blog with a small incrowd. Of course overtime it got picked up by the search engines and robots (some of them also causing a fair share of the pageviews). So by now lots of the pageviews are also generated by people searching on Google with an interest in the Ferrari 365/400/412. I have seen hits coming from various places like Mongolia, Iraq or Jamaica. But the majority are from Western Europe and the USA. Also the pattern has become more spiky lately. Sometimes I wonder what's causing that. In the snapshot below for last month you can get a good impression:

I was wondering why yesterday I got more than 20 hits on the blog update 'Albert Uderzo'. When I checked I found out someone posted the following tweet: http://t.co/lrHZ0MyXL6 Explaining at least yesterday's spike:

In any case, let's continue the blog and celebrate this milestone with a unique petrolhead advertisement:
