    This is the same car.

    As we discussed in another thread, the white turn signlas have meaning. Although we couldn't agree when orange was used on 365/512BB, we all know it was always used on the BBi's.

    This car has been most likely wrecked and repaired in Europe with white signals.

    Chequered Flag International is pleased to offer this beautiful 1983 Ferrari 512i Boxer in Red and Black with Black Leather interior. This example was imported new by famous builder William Lyons and is complete with CA registration and DOT/EPA releases. This is an incredibly strong-running vehicle with beautiful paint and nice original interior. Features a powerful 5.0 liter flat 12 cylinder fuel-injected engine that pushes over 460 brake horsepower with a vehicle weight of under 2500 pounds. The odometer reads 50,700 kilometers which translates to 31,500 original miles. Please call for more information.


    2500 lbs. and 460bhp...hmmmm?

    You're right to be skeptical.


    Ferrari specs (from BBi manual) are curb weight - 3500 lbs and 340 HP.

    and finally, to wrap this one up, two cents from sheehan:

    *****
    Hi Bill.

    Boxers are a hard sell.

    F.W.I.W. it should read 360 HP, not 460 HP!

    It sure as hell weights more than 2,500 pounds. Try 3,500 pounds!

    31,500 is a lot of miles. Makes it hard to sell.

    Has it had the 30,000 mile service done? If not it has $8,000 in deferred
    maintenance now due!

    I have one at http://www.ferraris-online.com/cars/FE-512BB-30713/main.shtml
    that
    isn't rushing out the door, and it has 19, 206 miles and the 30,000 service
    has been done, and it has
    a known history.

    To summarize 512 BB s/n 45339 , too many miles, misleading ad, no record of
    the service done, so... a hard sell!

    Feel free to share this with the gang on Ferrari Chat.

    My regards.

    M. Sheehan.
