At $170 now. Yeah the rear bumper is unfortunate unless you want to serve a picnic on it. Seller is not responding to questions. One question was if it was original paint. I think not because it’s sans Boxer trim. And the front bumper shows no DOT or front marker lights. Perhaps front was repaired at one time? Strictly speculation.

This car already has its own dedicated thread: https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/ferrari-512bb-chassis-28543.602416/ Before posting it is usually a good idea to do a search on the chassis number and/or VIN to see if there are any other threads on the same car. This way we can keep all the car's discussion and relevant info in one thread. Cheers, Sam
Not a bad car and probably priced right but undoing the DOT structural changes is involved to say the least. Needs a rear bumper, exhaust, suspension, a lot of cutting and welding. Never seen a carb'd boxer with a black headliner unless it was ordered from the factory that way (which would need documentation to back it up), a/c compressor is wrong, Plug wire looms are wrong, charcoal canister, wrong headlights and I suspect it had boxer trim from new (could be wrong). Fog lights may be the exposed market with short grill from the factory but the DOT cutting and welding up front usually results in a recessed fog light car being converted to exposed lights. Italian wording on the gauges makes me think long grill recessed fogs but cant say without seeing it. So someone bought a driver that needs a fair amount spent to make it correct.
May have been repainted poorly. I see paint on the black rubber filler in the picture of the tire sticker on the front windshield. I sure that would go on after paint not before, but could be wrong.
my oh my thats an ugly rear bumper. am surprised that amerispec did it. mine was imported and homologated by amerispec, but since it was re-exported to italy and put back to original specs, i dont know if they ever put that bumper on or not, since it doesnt have it today.
Good day Paul, The car has the original warranty document (I am jealous)... see pictures in an earlier post... and the dealer stamp is Auto Becker and so the delivery Country would have been Germany. A few other pluses are the original documents, warranty card (jealous), tools, jack bag with contents, spare tire, etc are already with the car. Having all these bits already is going to save the new owner a lot of time, effort, and $$$. Cheers, Sam
Good day All, I could be wrong, but it looks like 28543 does not have a California "BAR" Sticker...At least it does not appear in any pictures. If so then this may have limited the buyer pool and thus the resulting final price, as it would have excluded/limited the number of California buyers. Cheers, Sam
Mine has all that stuff as well which is nice to have. I figure if that car didn’t have the DOT ugliness going on it would be closer to 300k which doesn’t seem down to me for a carb’d 512 driver.
