1981 512BB Chassis 36961 On Ebay

This car sat at F40 MotorSports for several months

 

Do we know this VIN?

Is it on the Fchat Master Boxer List??

Maybe we should start updating our recap with "last seen at" entires just to get an idea of where they are all located, if not known Fchatters cars.

Lots of them popping up in the market.

Green shoots!!!

Economic recovery!!!!

Desperation/liquidation!!!!

 

Chassis 36961 gets my heart pumping and blood flowing. I like the carbs and the look of the carbed cars from the front better. The reflectors on the bumper of the BBis tend to distract. Plus no unsightly side markers and a really attractive interior. I would paint out the NACA ducts.

It's probably a much better proposition than the yellow car. Or one could hope. I would drive in fearlessly like I did my Daytona. No fear like may be associated with that 3600 mile BBi. I wouldn't be after a preservation trophy.

I like to take my pleasure driving the open roads.

This is a worthy candidate for doing just that.

I do like the 3600mi BBi without the boxer trim and cool story. But a $75K premium?
I don't have that kind a cake right now.

 

This car needs $10-12k spent on it before you turn the key. Engine out, all new lines, etc... Would like to hear when the last major service was completed and if Black Horse Garage did any work since it left F40 MotorSports a few weeks ago.

 

fastradio says he can take care of the dash, probably about $3K I dunno...

 

This one was one of our own's: bboxer, sold sometime prior to/during 2004

Appears at Post #20, this could be his chance to buy it back.

 

Yes, I bought it new in May 1981 in Italy and had it flown to LA. EPA/DOT done at Sun International in Redondo Beach. Kept it for almost 21 years and finally could not get the darn CARB sticker without too much hassle and $. Poor thing went to Florida via my FoOC dealer and finally found a home in CT with a gentleman who seems to have taken good care for it.
I would love to buy it back but a conversation with the only conversion shop in CA discouraged me. The carbed cars need a lot of (ugly) work for the CARB certification.

 

I really like this car. It's so honest it's perfect.

 

Thanks! That's good to know!

I'll rob a bank on the way home, and buy this one then!!!

 

In defense of my mention of fastradio, IIRC the windshield itself in #19271 was also cracked, so maybe it was the number $$ for the whole repair.

I think the windshield surround mouldings alone are $1K, if you &*^ them up!!

I sure wish I was driving that car now.....

 

Thanks for the post.

That is a beautiful machine...

 

bboxer,
I'd think it would be impossible, or close to it, to get a non-certified carbed car BAR certified for use in California now.

I think you'd be better off just buying my carbed car, BAR stickered, registered in CA since new, and has never failed a smog test!

Sold...i spoke with Jeff today and the car is heading to CH.

i'm in the market on a customer's behalf, so any leads would be appreciated...

must be a Red/Tan BBi , with or without Boxer paint, with or without recent 'engine out', preferably an unmolested Euro, but no US side markers if it is a Federalized car.

all other relevant details can be discussed.

thanks,
