    1/2 Boxer trim was an option?

    Car looks nice. However, it's actually a Model Year 1983.

    The earlier Model Year 1984 BB 512i I know of is #49259 (3 January 1984),

    Good day All,

    Chassis 47015 is now on BaT:

    https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1984-ferrari-512-bbi-18/

    It looks like some paint correction issues were done on the lower front/rear skirts, as in 2020 they were black and now they are red which now creates consistency regarding the trim (e.g. no Boxer trim now)>

    Cheers,

    Sam

    Model year is not necessarily same as year manufactured. I was taught by a well-versed F-chatter to identify various features on later 512BB's. Like the 7-band equalizer and the Testarossa steering wheel and a few other things.

    I think it still is a nice car - or is it damaged already?

    Hello there,

    i.m.h.o......I wouldn't bother to change and I wouldn't pay more for those feature updates. I like the model variations and appreciate them for what they are. To me they are all cool! ie the early 308 has a deck prop rod for the rear deck, the later ones have hydraulic struts. I know the Boxer front grill and passing flasher lights have changed over the years. To me, one isn't better than the other, just different, and I'm proud and excited to own either.

    I spoke with Paul Newman regarding model changes, and he helped me with some of the differences. There was something about the Bosch vacuum controlled fuel pressure regulator is different and one more item in my engine bay, but I don't recall what it was. There's a mid-year item on the '84 that I'm aware of and it's the seat rail covers.

    BTW- here's where the model year matters to me. The books should include a Ferrari Service Center book, and these have years on them, so I was missing mine and wanted to get the correct one. As much as I love these cars, I've never looked at a Boxer at car events etc and thought, 'Wow! that's beautiful XXXX year car.'

    I guess we're splitting hairs here. #49259 was delivered at the factory to its first owner on 3 January 1984. So based on your criteria that a given car's calendar year is based on the year its build BEGAN, I guess you're saying #49579 is the very first BB 512i whose build BEGAN in calendar year 1984?

    You are right, we are splitting hairs and we can argue for....
    Anyway #49259 was registered in USA, (according to the seller) on 3 January 1984, therefore produced in 1983 as per 20 more cars before #49579, the first to be completed ( and not BEGAN) in 1984. The chassis before, #49577 has been delivered end December 1983 in the Netherlands. But I guess only Maranello (and MM) knows the truth.

    And also keep in mind cars didn’t always finish getting built or dispatched from the Ferrari factory in the exact same sequential order as their respective chassis numbers.
