What do you know about your A400's background? I have owned #1648 for over 40 years. It had been damaged and stored for 11 years prior to that. It became available when the owners went through a divorce. The car was in primer when I bought it. Under the primer was a tan paint (perhaps Chicle Drab).  The engine and drive train were in good shape and started right up when I replaced the battery and put in some gas.

I know there are many A400s that have gone through several (or many) owners in recent years.  What do you know about yours?
