The 2nd production Boxer

Cover of issue #9 of Flat 12.

 

Beautiful. I hope these cars stay at a reasonable level until I can afford one.

Wonder what the selling price for this car would be now?

Owner wanted $90K in 1999.
Probably worth 140+ now.

 

I think this car went to Japan.

 

Yes, sold in 2000 to that Ferrari black hole known as Japan.

 

Michael,

It's not the 2nd Car, it's the 6th car produced.

Actually, you are both correct.

According to the article about this car in issue 9 of Flat 12, this Boxer is known as the sixth 365 GT4/BB chassis assembled, but the second production car.

 

Ron,

I'm intrigued - What does it say about the 5 previous cars ?

Argento

 

1) 17185 - first prototype* (possibly the 1971 Turin show car)
2) 17223 - prototype
3) 17257 - prototype
4) 17269 - prototype


5) 17301 - first production car, sold to Pininfarina

Reference was made to Hilary Raab's "Ferrari Serial Numbers - Part 1" book.

* A question was raised in the article as this SN did not match previously reported SN's in Cavallino, but that does not neccesarily make it wrong.


Flat 12 is the now defunct publication by Cavallino specifically about the Ferrari flat 12.

 

Curious, where do you get you information Argento? Cavallino is usually very accurate.

 

Strictly Confidential, Sorry.
