SERVICE RECORDS AND IMPORT DOCS Featuring aggressive
Pininfarina-designed and Scaglietti-built bodywork, Ferrari's 365
GT4 Berlinetta Boxer ('BB') was Ferrari's long-awaited mid-engine
challenge to the Lamborghini Miura and Maserati Bora. With styling
rooted in Pininfarina's 1968 P6 concept and first shown at Turin as
a prototype in 1971, the production-ready 365 GT4 BB debuted at the
1973 Paris Salon with a 4.4-liter 'flat-12' engine derived from the
Scuderia's 312 B Grand Prix cars. A blistering performer - even by
today's standards - the 'BB' and successors remain historic as
Ferrari's first-ever 12-cylinder, mid-engine road models. Steady
development brought the 512 BB by 1976 and the ultimate 512 BBi by
1981, with the "I" suffix denoting Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection.
The 512 BBi remains a ferocious performer, capable of nudging 175
mph flat out and quarter-mile times under 14 seconds. Just 1,007
examples of the 512 BBi were produced from 1981 through 1984 and
the advent of the Testarossa. None were officially imported to the
United States, where the BB was a "Grey Market" import and then
Federalized under the DOT/EPA.A highly original and extremely well
preserved survivor, this 1983 Ferrari 512 BBi is a 2-owner example
from new with just 17,277 actual miles from new. The Ferrari was
properly imported to the United States and federalized by Amerispec
in 1983 by its first owner, with documentation included. The
current owner acquired the BB from Harry Woodnorth Exotics in 1989
at just 6,000 miles. Most recently in 2021, the 512 BBi was given
an engine-out service, including the complete major timing belt
service, a change of motor and gearbox oil, a coolant change, and
service to the cooling, exhaust, fuel injection, ignition, intake,
and engine-lubrication systems. In all, the comprehensive service
work totaled over $24,000 with itemized invoices on file with the
BB. A fresh detailing at The Last Detail ensures the BB looks as
great as it runs. In addition to the import documents, the Ferrari
is accompanied by service records, and ownership history including
copies of the title from 89' and all recent major engine out
service. This rare, late-production, Rosso Corsa 512 BBi is an
exceptional find for collectors and enthusiasts today. Benefiting
from professional detailing and a no-expense-spared major service,
it is ready to go. Contact us to see it for yourself, obtain full
