This exceptional 512 BBi, originally finished in the same color it
sports today, was first imported into the United States by William
Lyon in July 1983. It was then acquired by Michael Jean of Denver,
Colorado, in 1985. Shortly thereafter, he sold the car to another
gentleman in Colorado, noting that the BBi had only 2,700 miles at
the time. In 1987, with less than 3,000 miles, the car was acquired
by Karl Dedolph of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Dedolph maintained the
car for the next five years when he offered it for sale in 1992.
Eight years later, the Ferrari was offered once more where it was
bought by Richard Scott of Sidney, Ohio. At the time, it was noted
that the odometer had been changed. Several years later, the 512
BBi was acquired by collector Robert Iannucci, who maintained it
until 2011, when he sold it to Frank Gallogly of Lakeville,
Connecticut.
Today, the car presents exceptionally well and remains highly
original throughout. During the course of 2017, the 512 BBi has
been refreshed both cosmetically and mechanically, and it is
accompanied by over $20,000 in receipts with a breakdown of the
completed work. The BBi also retains is original owner's manuals in
their original pouch, as well as the original jack in its bag.
The Italians behind the Ferrari knew that craftsmanship,
engineering, and design counted for more than anything else. At the
time of 512 BBi production, the future was poised for robots to
take over from the hands-on approach. Sergio Scaglietti, whose firm
made the bodies, noted, "It was something special. It was the last
car where we made everything by hand." We cannot say it better.
Vehicle is located in Ohio, USA. Bidder/Buyer is responsible for
pickup or shipping from this location to wherever they want it
