This 1982 Ferrari 512 BBi is one of 1,007 fuel-injected examples produced over a four-year production run. Chassis 42769 was imported to the US in August 1982 before being acquired by the current owner in April 2000 and later underwent an engine-out service in April 2023. The car is finished in Rosso Corsa over Beige leather and is powered by a 4.9-liter F110A flat-12 linked with a five-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. It rides on center-lock metric five-spoke wheels and features a front lip spoiler and a high-mount rear wing along with pop-up headlights coupled with fog lights. Inside, Daytona-style seats are accompanied by a Nardi steering wheel and a gated shifter as well as Borletti air conditioning and an Alpine CD stereo. This 512 BBi is now offered on dealer consignment in Douglassville, Pennsylvania, with an owner’s manual, import documents, a temporary spare, a jack bag, and a clean New York State title listing the car as a 1983 model.
The Berlinetta Boxer model was styled by Pininfarina’s Leonardo Fioravanti and was introduced at the 1971 Turin Auto Show. The car features a steel-paneled cabin section paired with a tubular chassis. Aluminum is incorporated for the front and rear clamshells and door panels, while the lower panels are fiberglass. The 512 BBi variant was introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1981. The cars were not officially offered in the US, though some were imported and federalized in-period via the gray market.
This example is finished in Rosso Corsa and features a body-color front lip spoiler, high-mount rear wing, and intake covers. Pop-up headlights are paired with fog lights up front, and further details include an aluminum hood grille, door-mounted mirrors, NACA side ducts, and quad exhaust outlets. Various exterior imperfections are pointed out in the walkaround video below.
Center-lock 415mm five-spoke wheels are mounted with 240/55 Michelin TRX tires. The 512 BBi features a fully independent suspension with unequal-length double wishbones, anti-roll bars fore and aft, and Koni shocks all around with a double coilover setup out back. Stopping power is provided by ventilated discs at all four corners.
The cabin features Daytona-style seats upholstered in Beige leather, along with a color-coordinated center console and door panels. An Alpine CDM-7836 stereo is installed in the dash, and further amenities include Borletti air conditioning as well as power windows and retractable shoulder belts.
The Ferrari-stamped Nardi steering wheel is accompanied by a dogleg-pattern gated shifter as well as drilled aluminum pedals below. Veglia instrumentation consists of a speedometer, a tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline, and auxiliary readouts for coolant temperature and oil pressure in the cluster flanked by a clock and gauges for oil temperature, amperage, and fuel level on either side. The selling dealer notes that a 200-mph speedometer face was installed, though the odometer reads in kilometers. The five-digit odometer shows 12k kilometers (~7k miles).
The 4.9-liter F110A flat-12 features Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection utilizing twin CIS fuel distributors and was factory rated at 340 horsepower. An engine out service was performed in April 2023, according to the selling dealer.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential.
An owner’s manual, temporary spare, and jack bag will accompany the car.
The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage from its first entry in August 1993.
