Ferrari 512 BB 1980
General description :
Stunning 1980 Ferrari 512 BB: Iconic Carbureted 512 in Fully Restored Condition This 1980 Ferrari 512 BB is a beautiful fully restored example and an incredibly desirable carbureted model. Combining powerful performance and exotic styling, the carbureted 512 Berlinetta Boxer was built in a modest quantity of 929 examples from 1976 through 1981. This remarkable car, chassis 34351, is offered out of 26 year storage. According to the accompanying Marcel Massini History Report, this BB was originally finished in Rosso Chiaro (Red) and upholstered with Nero (Black) leather, and the car notably retains this original color scheme today. Specified with instruments in kilometers, the 512 completed assembly in November 1980, and after being sold new a month later to a European enthusiast in Austria, the car was soon exported to the US. By 1993, the Ferrari had been acquired in a restored state by marque collector Todd Morici of West Paterson, New Jersey. That year, Mr. Morici advertised the 512 BB in Ferrari Market Letter as having 250 miles since a complete nut-and-bolt restoration by Classic Coach on a 17,000-mile car. The motor had also been rebuilt. It has been noted that the internal number stamping on the engine appears incorrect. Furthermore, it does not have the original engine but the exact same type was installed. The car runs and drives but will need a service and tune up. Mechanical attention is required before road use. Now showing just 288 miles since the restoration, the car is cosmetically stunning inside and out with excellent paint and super clean interior. Extremely collectible Carbureted 512 BB. Not to be missed by any enthusiast of the marque. Stunning condition throughout Early 1990s Restoration by Classic CoachDocumented by Ferrari Expert Marcel MassiniA Minimally Used Example of Maranellos Desirable Carbureted Berlinetta BoxerPlease note that this vehicle is titled 1981.

About Ferrari
The first Ferrari road car was the 125 S introduced in 1947 and powered by a 1.5 L V12 engine, right? Well it's not quite that simple, Ferrari did in fact produce e Tipo 815, in 1940. Tipo 815 was designed by ex-Alfa Romeo engineers Alberto Massimino and Vittorio Bellentani and by Enrico Nardi under Enzo's company but legal issues with the former associate Alfa Romeo prevented Ferrari from launching the Ferrari marque at that point.
Enzo did produce a series of fine road cars in the 50's and 60's but they were merely to finance his true passion racing, wheather GT/Sports car or Grand Prix. The 50's saw the birth of Ferrari's most memorable cars, 250 GTB (tour de France) 250 Testa Rossa, 250 GT swb just to name a few.
Under the surface tension was growing though. In November 1961 long-time sales manager Girolamo Gardini made an ultimatum to Enzo: if tensions continued, he would leave the company. As a result, Gardini was ousted, as well as Scuderia Ferrari manager Romolo Tavoni, chief engineer Carlo Chiti, experimental sports car development chief Giotto Bizzarrini, and a number of others who stood by them.
Without Chiti and Bizzarrini the development of what was to become the most quintessential Ferrari and today the world's most expensive car, 250 GTO, was at a pivoting point. 250 GTO project was saved by a young engineer Mauro Forghieri and long-time racing bodyman Sergio Scaglietti who stepped in and took over the program with known results.
In addition to 250 GTO, Ferrari launced such master pieces as 250 LM, 250P, 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4 "Daytona" during the the 60's
By the late 60's Ferrari's prototypes' success came to a sudden halt by a new competitor, GT40. Ford turned to Lola to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after Enzo had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that gave Ferrari some heavy hits in Le Mans 24 to come.
By the end of the 60's FIAT purchased 50% of the company, starting a development that has led to a new mass-produced era of Ferraris.
