400 Automatic i

Profile & significance

Bosch-injected 400, approximately 310 hp and three-speed automatic. More usable than carbureted predecessors but still maintenance-intensive. Market roughly $45,000–$90,000. Fuel-injection condition, rear self-leveling hydraulics, automatic-transmission health and electrical systems matter more financially than purchase price.
