Ferrari built its 400 to replace the 365 GT4 2+2, but some wanted a top-down version. That’s where Richard Straman’s workshop came in. He built a convertible conversion kit that found favor with clientele such as singer Rod Stewart. This is one of those Straman examples.
Front-engined and an automatic? Yes. In fact, the 400 was one of the first Ferraris to sport an automatic transmission.
This 400 underwent a major engine overhaul within the past decade and had its upholstery and soft top replaced.
