This is a 1981 not an 1980 Ferrari 512 BBi vin #
ZFFJA09B000038713. It's likely one of the lowest mileage and the best early injected Boxers in the world. I would
not be saying this if I did not spend a good amount of years owning and inspecting these beautiful, last of the
hand built Ferraris. Scaglieti was hired by the Ferrari factory to hand build these great mid-engined super cars of
the 70's and 80's. The panels were put onto wooden bucks and hammered to shape by very talented craftsman. No
Ferrari has gotten built this way since the Boxer went out of production in 1984.
The car being offered here is truly a time warp car! It has just 1600 miles. It's the 5th injected Boxer build.
This is an 1981 production year car. A classic color combination of Rosso Chiaro with black boxer trim. Beautiful
tan interior with the Daytona style seats and black inserts. The car was a Borgata Casino featured show car. There
is a one inch thick well organized folder on its history and origin. You will find an incredible wealth of
information like the original bill of sale, letters and telegrams from the first owner and Ferrari SPA. Certificate
of origin, copies of checks to Ferrari through Luigi Chinetti, payment certificates, importation and freight
documents, receipts from Classic Coach, Importation Tag with Pallet number and destination report and so on. The
DOT releases are part of that paper work. Classic Coach out of NJ did the DOT conversion. The car also comes with
every thing it came from the factory, including an original hard to find sales brochure. The original quartz clock
tag. These materials are in concourse condition. Please refer to the pictures of these materials. The car has had
some minor paint work over the years, but still retains most of it's original paint. The car had an engine out
service about 8 years ago so it's due for a major service. The car runs and drives absolutely incredible! Cold A/C.
It retains it's original interior, dash leather and stereo equipment all in mint condition. This car has never been
restored! It is truly a mint condition car, as it should be with having just 1600 miles. This is a museum quality
Boxer. If you ever wanted a Boxer that has not been molested or brought back to life after years of driving, this
may be the car to own. I looked at so many cars, some were excellent examples alright, but none came close to this
car's quality. Remember a car is only original once. The mid-engined flat 12 cylinder engined Ferraris are one of
my favorite Ferrari designs and is a memorable experience every time you drive one! The car must be seen in person,
as pictures do not do it justice. The mid-engined Ferraris are red hot these days. I believe Boxers have a bright
future ahead and should continue to climb in value. Feel free to email me with any questions or concerns.

Ferrari 212 Barchetta highlights RM auction at Villa d'Este
Tue, May 26 2015While show-goers sip champagne and basque in the glow of some of the most beautiful classics and most notable concept cars at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, at the Villa Erba just down the shore, collectors bid on some of the most tempting automotive creations. And this year was no exception. Highlighting RM Sotheby's auction this year was a rare classic 1952 Ferrari 212 Export Barchetta. The Touring-bodied competition roadster from Ferrari's early days fetched an incredible ˆ6,720,000 – nearly $7.4 million at current exchange rates – to set a new record for that model. According to Sports Car Market, the previous record was held by a 212 Export coupe that sold for $3.2 million early last year. A Barchetta failed to sell for a high bid of $1.97 million in 2008, which just goes to show how far this auction raised the bar for the 212. Though it was by far the top lot of the day, it wasn't the only million-dollar sale of the day. Heck, it wasn't even the only million-dollar Ferrari sold. A quartet of Ferrari supercars – including a 288 GTO, F40, F50 and Enzo – each fetched seven figures, as did a 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso and a 250 GT Cabriolet. So did a Lamborghini Miura, a '73 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 and a '53 Fiat 8V Cabriolet, if you can believe it. Other notable lots included a 1949 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Villa d'Este Coupe, a '74 Lancia Stratos and a rare stick-shift Ferrari 599 HGTE. All told, RM Sotheby's racked up nearly $30 million in sales at its first European auction since merging and rebranding, selling 34 out of the 39 lots consigned, but that stunning 250 California Spider did not appear to be among them.
1957 Ferrari 335S sells for $34.9M, still not most expensive Ferrari ever sold
Fri, Feb 5 2016Here's your reminder that the price of a good vintage Ferrari is absolutely staggering – the 1957 335S that just sold at an Artcurial auction in Paris for $34.9 million isn't even close to a record when it comes to Prancing Horses crossing the block. While this 335S still represents a hell of a lot of money, we're actually wondering why it didn't do better. For one, this car, chassis number 0674, has the all-important racing provenance collectors crave. It's been raced by legends Mike Hawthorne and Sir Stirling Moss. In its first year of competition, Wolfgang von Trips took it to second place at the Mille Miglia, while Peter Collins and Maurice Trintigant drove it to sixth at the 12 Hours of Sebring. It even recorded the fastest lap at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (although it retired with engine problems just 56 laps into the race). So yes, consider the provenance box checked. Besides famous racers and races, it was owned by some huge names in the Ferrari world, including Luigi Chinetti, the founder of the North American Racing Team and the first Ferrari importer in the US. But for the past 45 years, it was a part of the legendary Bardinon Collection, which was known for its wide array of high-quality Ferraris. While the 1957 335S falls short of the record-holding 1962 250 GTO sold by Bonhams for $38.1 million during the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance festivities in 2014, it's still one of the most expensive cars ever sold at auction. And hey, it even landed in the meaty part of its $31.2 million to $35.6 million estimated sale price.
'Ferrari' is an oft-banned search term in China, but why?
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The Internet has been a boon for car enthusiasts; after all, information about any car ever made is available at a few taps of the keyboard, whenever you'd like. Unfortunately, some Chinese motor heads are not quite as lucky because state censors have been intermittently banning searches for Ferrari on the country's micro-blogging sites, according to Time.
The problem has nothing to do with Maranello's supercars; it's what they represent. The Prancing Horse has become the symbol for so-called "princelings," wealthy young Chinese who use their parents' privileges in the Communist elite to afford luxuries.
The first bout of censorship came in 2011 when the son of then-high-ranking politician Bo Xilai was spotted cruising around Beijing in a red Ferrari, a vehicle much more expensive than he should have been able to afford. It started trending on Chinese social media, and censors began blocking searches for Ferrari in the car's red color. The Italian brand was censored again briefly in 2012 when a Chinese investor crashed his Prancing Horse into two other cars in Singapore.
