To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Monterey event, 18 - 19 August 2023. Offered Without Reserve Two owners from new; just 4,497 miles at time of cataloguingOne of 929 carbureted 512 BB examples producedOrdered new and federalized by the late Ferrari collector Donald L. WeberSports subtle and appealing period modifications by Weber, including a Momo Prototipo steering wheel and velocity stacksCarefully maintained, including an engine-out service completed in October 2022; accompanied by history file, including correspondence and service records, and ownerâs manuals The Ferrari 512 BB was never officially sold North America: Facing emissions controls, high fuel prices, and national speed limits, Ferrari did not allocate any of the examples of this compelling mid-engine wedgeâequipped with a potent 355-horsepower 4.9-liter flat-12 engineâto US or Canadian markets. That did not stop determined enthusiasts from getting their hands on the sleek 512 BB, including Southern California Ferrari connoisseur Donald L. Weber.Weber acquired this 1979 Ferrari 512 BB new via the storied Greenwich, Connecticut dealership of Luigi Chinetti. As with all âgray marketâ examples of the model, it underwent a federalization process; this was handled by Automotive Compliance, Inc. of Harbor City, California. Correspondence and paperwork on file detail Weberâs purchase of the Ferrari, as well as its import and subsequent successful federalization, adding substantial depth to its history.After taking ownership of the Ferrari, Weber maintained its factory Rosso Chiaro exterior color. However, by 1985, he saw fit to undertake a limited series of well-considered modifications, enlisting Richardâs Interiors of Van Nuys, California to install red-dyed headliner, red carpets, and red door panels, as well as red piping on the black leather seats. A Momo Prototipo steering wheel, and velocity stacks atop its Weber carburetors in place of the stock air cleaner, give the car an appropriate degree of motorsports-inspired flair.Weber retained the 512 BB for the rest of his life, with the car gaining only its second caretaker when it entered a large collection in 2021. It has seen only limited use, with its odometer reading 4,497 miles at time of cataloguing, yet it has benefitted from a high degree of care; in addition to routine maintenance, invoices on file dating from 2013â2014 indicate fuel and cooling system work, as well as an engine-out service; the carburetors were also cleaned and synchronized. An additional engine-out service was completed by AzaÃ«l Motorsport of Doral, Florida in October 2022. Beyond the replacement of timing belts, seals, and gaskets, ancillary components such as the water pump, clutch slave cylinder, and the throttle cable were rebuilt or replaced as necessary to ensure optimal performance. Most recently, a new set of Michelin tires was fitted.Production of the 512 BB was limited, with just 929 examples produced prior to the arrival of the fuel-injected 512 BBi in 1981; it was, in fact, the final production carbureted Ferrari, adding milestone status to its appeal. Savvy enthusiasts like the late Mr. Weber have long cherished the modelâand this exemplary 512 BB, with its low mileage, tasteful period modifications, and history file of correspondence, documentation, photos, and invoices, as well as its ownerâs manuals in pouch, would make an excellent addition to any fine collection.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at website in the description*.

Jul 2003 at 25th Ferrari Club Deutschland Anniversary, Germany. Owned by Michael Mak. Identified on F-Register.com Rosso Corsa with Nero interior. Black Boxer trim.  Designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti, the mid-engined Boxer was the successor to the front engined V12 Daytona. The original Boxer, known as the 365 GT4 BB was first shown at the Turin Motor Show in 1971 but did not go on sale until 1974. Introduced at the Paris Salon in 1976, the 512 BB superseded the 365 GT4 BB; its engine was enlarged from 4390 cc to 4942 cc, although the horse power dropped from 380 bhp at 7000 rpm in the 365 GT4 BB to 630 bhp at 6200 rpm to meet noise and emission regulations, particularly in the USA.  The 512 BB body varied little from its predecessor, although the rear-end was widened to accommodate new wider tires and two sets of rear lights which replaced the previous six. The six exhaust pipes were replaced by two double exhausts and a new spoiler was added at the front under the grille. The new engine and tires made the 512 BB a much more driveable car.  In 1981 the 512 BB was replaced by the fuel injected, but otherwise almost identical 512 BBi. This model proved to be the most popular and 1007 were built until production ended in 1984. The 512 BB designation can be broken down; the 5 indicates the displacement, although it is actually just under at 4942 cc, the 12 represents the number of cylinders that are capable of producing 360 bhp. The first B is for Berlinetta, which is essentially a closed coupe, the second B stands for Boxer. The name 'Boxer' comes from the engine which is vertically opposed, meaning the cylinders are arranged in a flat configuration and opposed to each other by 180 degrees.  This was the first time Ferrari had used a Boxer engine in a road going car and the Flat 12 made it possible to mount the engine above the transmission, which allowed the space to create a better driving position. The Boxer engine was extremely powerful giving a top speed of 188 mph, 0-60 in 5.5 seconds and 0-100 in just 13.2 seconds. The positioning of the engine also added to handling the centralized weight allowing for faster cornering. The car is built around a tubular steel frame which holds the engine, transmission, steering and suspension components.  The cabin is made of steel, the lower body panels are formed from fiberglass and the nose and tail are clothed in alloy clamshells. The panels joints are all obvious, with no attempt made to hide them. The wishbone suspension is surrounded with twin coil springs at the rear and the steering is rack and pinion.  All of the details add to the pure race driving experience. When designing the Boxer, Pininfarina did away with years of Ferrari design culminated in the Daytona and created a true racing car for the road. The Daytona looked back, the Boxer forward to a new era of mid-engined supercars. The Boxer was low slung and racy and was in direct competition with the mid-engined Lamborghini Miura. Ferrari had their racing heritage, experience and dominance with the 312PB to draw from and this gave the Boxer its competitive edge. The racing influence is carried into the spartan interior. The car is designed and built around the driver and heightening their experience leaves little storage space.  When introduced at the 1981 Frankfurt Salon, the 512 BBi brought about only minor changes from the outgoing 512 BB, with the chief among those being the addition of a Bosch K-Jetronic fuel-injection system. The BBi retained all of the 512 BB's looks and character - but added exposed driving lights on the nose and rectangular parking lights adjacent to the exhausts at the rear. For many owners, the addition of the fuel injection was a welcome change, and the 512 BBi is often considered to be the most livable of Ferrari's Berlinetta Boxer models.  "At Curated, we do not acquire cars simply for inventory but rather based on what the car is. We love interesting provenance, very low production, very low mileage, very special and often weird cars." John Temerian, Jr. Curated co-founder
