Frank, That's what I was referring to when I said no telling about private imports or exports. I would guess there are about 50 carbs and 140 fi in the US |

Matts numbers are the same as I have read. But, I understand that in the late 1980s a lot of the Boxers in the U.S.A went to new owners in Japan never to return. |

These numbers will enable you to confirm whether a specific s/n car is certified. I don't know whether they have the capability or the willingness to provide information on all the vehicles of a particular model.

Hi........... Does anyone have a connection at the EPA or DOT ? Should be government records on all of the cars that legally entered the country with full certification. Frank......... www.masiarz.net/bb_resource |

Tom, Ferrari was notified about cars being sent to the US as grey market, hence the "official number" from ferrari |

sorry did not mean to imply that some were officially imported - I meant for the models that are offically imported (308, 328 etc) people still don't even know how many come to the US |

Those were offical import numbers provided by Ferrari. No telling about private imports or exports. |

Matt, that's what I was wondering and close to *my guess* of about 150-250 as well. They didn't become really popular with the masses until FI came along. It would be interesting to have a handle on some kind of number just for fun.

I heard about 300 from a dealer. I don't think that included the ones brought in later (post 85) or the ones that went back. |

William Lyon from Mobile AL imported my car. I would guess there probably were some 500 total boxers brought in this country, though this is a guess and it might be too high. |

All Boxers in the US are grey market cars. Ferrari never imported this car. Many of the Boxers, especially in the Southeast, came through Mobile, AL. |

prob impossible to find out - just think how hard it is to find the number of cars sent to the us by the factory let alone via grey market - maybe merritt would have a good guess |
