1984 Ferrari 512 BBi

This 1984 Ferrari 512 BBi is one of 1,007 produced and was delivered new to its first owner, California-based Ferrari mechanic Pietro Iurilli, at the Ferrari factory in Italy before it was imported to the US and federalized later that year. The car was offered on BaT in December 2022, and it was later purchased by the seller, who commissioned an engine-out timing belt service in March 2023. It is finished in red over tan leather upholstery, and power comes from a 4.9-liter flat-12 paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Features include Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, metric-sized Cromodora wheels, power windows, air conditioning, a gated shifter, a leather-wrapped MOMO steering wheel, and a Pioneer cassette stereo with a graphic equalizer. This 512 BBi shows 76k miles and is now offered in Florida with a recent invoice, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Montana title in the name of the seller’s LLC.

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 and were imported and federalized in-period via the gray market.

This example was finished from the factory in Rosso Corsa and has been repainted. It features pop-up headlights, fog lights, a front spoiler, NACA side ducts, and quad exhaust outlets.

The metric-sized Cromodora alloy wheels feature center-lock hubs and are mounted with Michelin TRX tires that show date codes from 2002. Chips in the wheel finish are shown in close-up gallery photos. The 512 BBi features a fully independent suspension with unequal-length double wishbones, coilovers up front, a double coilover setup out back, and anti-roll bars fore and aft. Stopping power is provided by ventilated discs at all four corners.

The cockpit features bucket seats trimmed in tan leather as well as a matching center console, door panels, and carpets. The dashboard is trimmed in contrasting brown leather, and additional equipment includes air conditioning, power windows, a gated shifter, and a Pioneer cassette player with a graphic equalizer. Leather separation is noted at the base of the windshield.

The leather-wrapped MOMO steering wheel fronts Veglia Borletti instrumentation including a 200-mph speedometer, a 10k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and auxiliary gauges that extend to the center of the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 76k 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 timing belt service was performed in March 2023, and the water pump was replaced and fluids services were performed at that time. The seller reports that the ignition coil was overhauled in September 2023.

Power is routed to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. Per the seller, the clutch was replaced under previous ownership. Additional photographs of the underside are shown in the gallery below.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or damage and lists registration history in California, Michigan, and Montana. Additionally, included in the sale are a set of the last 2 (new) standard tires in brand new condition labeled BB.
