Ferrari 512 BB

I believe the car came with no radio from the factory, and it was up to the purchaser to install one from the dealer or on their own. I found a 1978 blaupunkt am-fm stereo radio with an original manual on line, though a cassette one is very difficult to find. I believe the BBi model did come with a radio that had a Ferrari emblem, which is also difficult to find.

so if I hear you correctly. you are looking for a carb car and not an injection car?

 

"...need to be patient and one will come around for me at my price." Being patient is tough in a market like this. Just wait three months and see where prices are then. You'll wish you pulled the trigger now. I went through the same thing when I bought my car. Paid way more than I thought I would. However, car is now worth way more than I paid for it.

 

Coys of Kensington? They've been around for quite some time. No idea about there reputation.

 

There is a yellow one in Canada for sale, at around the same number, the engine has been totally built, it's a nice car, IMO.

The price is in that same range, IIRC.
Can you find the ad in our FerrariAds???

 

The train is leaving the station, for sure......

 

The yellow one in Canada is a carb car.....

 

The later cars had a Ferrari logo head unit AND equalizer, you are correct they are rare units to find now.

 

San Francisco Sports Cars had one come in, don't know if it ever went up for sale or not, probably worth a call.
Good Luck.

allan may be referring to the yellow bb at Copley. that car seems to show w/ bbi / metric wheels.

 

Good day Glabbe,

Did you buy the BB? I ask, as Copley no longer has the car listed. If so, congrats to you!

Cheers,

Sam

 

Good day Gary,

Thank you for your post! Good luck with the purchase of your car and once all is said and done post of some pics in the Boxer section!

Cheers,

Sam

 

Good luck in your negotiation. I think a sub $300 k BB will be well bought.

 

These cars almost did 100% a year value increase in the last couple years.

Amazing!

 

the 512bb will be the next big price popper IMO

 

I drove them all.
IMO the Carbed 512 was the best of the lot, yes over the 365, for what I was looking for.
Thats what I ended up with. I'd say it was a 8 out of 10
Passed over BBi's that were 9 to 10's to get it.
But should have bought the 365BB that was a 4 or 5 for $65K cash in hand.
Next life time I'll have it all figured out
