Agree and think it would be acceptable to some in the Ferrari crowd. Find a rough 400i in the mid-$ 20k. Full rebuild will double that, hopefully not. Noisy timing chain tensioner issues, water pump, leaky gaskets all have to be considered. Most of the 400i I recall had GM automatics, ran hot with all the US plumbing, EPA stuff. Yuk. Although I think if one did a clean transplant without all the emission garbage, could be a neat reliable cruiser. DIY Ferrari and guessing would have $100k into it when done??
