1978 FERRARI 512 BB BOXER RARE CARBURETED TARGA BLACK
1978 FERRARI 512 BB BOXER CARBURETED WITH TARGA TOP BLACK TAN SUPERB & RARE:

This car is one of only two 1978 512 BB Boxers with R.Straman targa conversions in
existence. With Black exterior, Tan interior, Daytona Inserts and, 5 star wheels, this Ferrari 512 BB Boxer is a true California car. This edition from the first production year of the 512 is the carbureted model which is highly sought after by both collectors and enthusiasts and featured in Forza magazine. A complete major service has just been completed with all the extras in August of 2008. This Ferrari has been gone through front to back and we have left no stone unturned, car is in superb condition, with only 9,700 miles. As close to new condition as you will ever find this 512 BB Boxer's value is sure to increase in the years to come.

No serial number. Perhaps someone has the Forza magazine?

That one was #24979, which I have in my notes from that same advert in July 2009, with the additional notation:

I've always thought the Straman targas were rolling sex - even moreso that the regular Boxer.

 

I was contacted today by a local client that purchased an '81 512bb new from Pozzi and upon importing it had Straman convert the car to a Targa, it's quite intersting because I've never seen one before!

This car is certaily a bit challenging to gauge the value, I hope to be able to nail down an agreeable value with the owner so I can have this car in my possession

 

Very nice looking!

Surgery on a boxer so it becomes a B not a BB......

Berlinetta was defined by Ferrari as a racing hard top.
Boxer engine was created for lower center of gravity of the total engine to allow the trans axle to be mounted below the engine for the same reason.

No wonder Boxers are under valued in the US

we have a black carb. Boxer Targa in the shop now,handles and looks great

 

It appears Straman did a red version as shown in this early sell sheet.

the targa Boxer we have is one of the Straman conversions..nicely done frame mods,car is very solid

 

It was converted by Autokraft and is for sale at Duncan Hamilton for $145,000

 

yes the red car existed and newman and i recently spend a fair amount of time looking it over. the silver diffuser over the bonnet is accurate in the model by the way

i was not aware that a scale model of the car existed. i guess that makes the conversion more legit

 

Hello all members ,

I am new to this chat room . I need some assistance if some body can help . I just purchased a 1978 Ferrari 512 BB Straman conversion VIN #: 24979 : I am trying to hunt down the history and maybe service records. I know it is one of two built

Thanks Joe

Saw this in San Marcos today. Trying to figure out if it's a 512 Targa?

It looks like it's the 'Electric GT' conversion. Anyone know for sure?
