all with white turning signals in the front - so french, italian or swiss edition, no german one

 

Those are stored in the basement.

How many total

 

About 28, from memory (all types of Boxers, also 512 BB's and BBi's, not just 365 GT4 BB's).

Alll with clear turn signal indicator lenses. Confirmed suspicion that Swiss cars had clear lenses? Mine had amber when I purchased it, that I had converted back to clear/frosted.

 

Doesn't look like a 365 GT4 BB.
Chassis number?

you have some photos marcel?

 

Thank you Marcel for the information on the Boxer!

did all Swiss Boxers come with the clear turn signal indicators?

 

It's the law.

It looks like Pino Verde next to Rosso Rubino. Very nice and thanks for sharing!

 

I aspire to be a Boxer hoarder one day ;-/

 

with this you would have started about 30 years ago. or do you have too much money to spend now?

 

Just wow!

Thanks for sharing.

 

Marcel,

BB or BBi for my first ? Currently a 550 Euro owner.

Kindest,

 

I’m not Marcel but BB. Carbs are where it’s at. BBI will be a little easier to maintain though. BB sounds better - more induction noise.

 

Just my opinion:
1st: 365 Boxer- Lighter, faster, more "raw", classic Ferrari top end "pull".
2nd: 512 Carb- Heavier, not as fast, smoother, better built in details (becoming Mercedes-like in the interior)
3rd: 512 Injection- Slower still, very smooth, easiest to live with, lacks the top end "pull" of the classic Ferrari, great car for today's traffic, best build quality

 

Agree with DWR… I’m in the process of buying a 365BB.

 

@Marcel Massini would you consider making a thread for #18225 like you have for #18417?

It would be great to get all of the history on that car in one place.

Also would be nice to know how many cars LHD cars were made in verde scuro met 20-G-255. Is #18225 the only one?

Was #17913 the RHD car here: https://www.foskers.com/news/2017-08-25/ferrari-365-gt4-bb-in-verde-scuro/16
In another thread (“more old photos” from 2011!) you mentioned its ‘famous’ - what is its claim to fame?

Thank you! Your contributions are very much appreciated.

 

We need some photos of the rear -- the triple taillights and triple exhaust tips are deliciously unique!
