The EBAY System not taking the VIN. which is  ZFFJA09B000049311.  

*The Boxer market is on the rise with Boxers with more miles and no where near the condition of this Boxer (and not featured in a full 7 page story in Forza magazine) selling in Europe for upwards of $380. 00 (See classified picture below).   This is an investment quality vehicle. This was Ferrari's answer to the Miura and Miruas are now bringing upwards of a million dollars and beyond. On May 10. 2014 RM is auctoned an unrestored Miura S with an estimated range of up to $965k . the car sold for $1. 16 million. $151. 00 more than the estimated high selling price!  That gives you an idea as to where the Italian vintage supercar market is heading.

This Ferrari Boxer is the car for the perfectionist. the person who appreciates quality. craftsmanship and attention to detail. the true connoisseur.    The timing is perfect because the Boxers are dramatically going up in value.   (E. g. . the car that preceded it. the Datyona now sells for $700. 00 to a million plus with an unrestored example with relatively high miles selling for $730k on May 10. 2014 at RM. nbsp; while the pretty little Dinos. with half the cylinders of the Boxer and a much lower original retail price have been pulling half a million and up. )  If you park this Boxer next to a fully restored Dino and Daytona I've no doubt the Boxer is the one that would draw the crowd.   (Like the Daytona. the Boxer was designed by Leonardo Fioravanti. who also did the 288GTO. )

As featured in a full 7 page feature story in Forza Magazine (Issue #84). I believe this to be the world's finest 512BB and for that matter. simply the world's best Boxer and one of the finest Ferraris ever restored.   A complete history of this spectacular Ferrari is featured in the Forza article. In addition. a hardcopy book of the Ferrari's meticulous restoration comes with the car. The Boxer is finished in a stunning Rosso Scuderia premium paint over the classic light Ferrari tan interior with Daytona trim and everything is in like new condition following the restoration.   (I will be posting more interior pictures shortly. )

Serial number 49311 is a last year of production example of the glorious Ferrari Boxer.   The car was previously purchased by an enthusiast who also happened to be a perfectionist.   He had two of Chicago's most experienced mechanics completely disassemble the Ferrari. A photographic record of the steps involved was recorded.   Every part of the car was “bagged and tagged. ”  The components were properly painted or powder-coated. as appropriate.   After the frame was stripped and refinished to like new condition. the cockpit. trunk and engine bay were insulated with proper materials as part of their restoration.

Anyone who has ever owned a Boxer knows how hot these cars typically get. particularly as the coolant pipes run from the engine by the cockpit to the front radiator.   The addition of this sound and heat insulation has made the cockpit cool and comfortable. exceeded by no other Boxer in the world.  

Speaking of running cool. a beautifully crafted lightweight. highly efficient radiator was created and fitted with high flow fans and finely detailed shrouding (built by Ron Davis Racing).   I drove this car. with the AC on in stop and go traffic when it was 97 degrees out and the temperature gauge never got past they middle line while I was actually cool and comfortable.  

 

The AC works amazingly well as it should because the HVAC Evaporator was replaced and now the system works better than new.   (The original one comes with the car. as do all the original parts that were removed. )

 

The goal during the restoration was to build the ideal Boxer as Enzo would have done if he were alive today and. for instance. had access to carbon fiber and CNC machines. To this end. cheap plastic parts were replaced with billet components.   The unattractive old fiberglass was replaced with beautifully crafted carbon fiber.   For example. open the engine bay or the front compartment and instead of seeing cheap kit car looking fiberglass wheel-well liners there are beautifully laid (and much more expensive) carbon fiber components.

 

There has never been a more beautifully detailed Ferrari Boxer engine compartment.   Email for additional photos.   Everywhere is simply stunning to behold.   Every nut and bolt a point of detail.

A beautiful looking and sounding Tubi exhaust system has been fitted.

Keith Collins Mats.

Suede headliner. carbon fiber dome light surround. carbon fiber and billet seats (or OEM seats as new Buyer's choice).

Easing entry to the Ferrari. the alarm system features remote locking and unlocking.

 

The interior was refinished with premium leather and carpets and is impeccable.   (The steering wheel shown in the Forza article has since been replaced by an original Ferrari factory unit.   In addition. the original seats in new leather can be installed in place of the current seats if the new owner so desires. )

 

The original brakes come with the car. as do boxes of other original parts. including the original wheels. (Three sets of wheels in total. )

 

However. to make this car stop as good as she goes. spectacular six piston brakes aluminum calipers with large ventilated discs and aluminum hats were installed in the front while four piston aluminum calipers clamp down on large ventilated discs mounted to aluminum hats at the rear.    The car stops as fast as any modern Ferrari.  

 

Speaking of the wheels. in addition to the OEM wheels with like new Michelin tires. two additional sets of wheels accompany the car. including the stunning Kinesis wheels featured in Forza as well as the traditional 5 spoke three piece wheels also appearing in Forza (these are the ones currently fit the Boxer).   These wheels are 19” and make the 512BB look stunningly classic and yet amazingly contemporary at the same time.

 

The underside of the car is as stunning as the topside.   The suspension looks like works of art one could eat off.   The attention to detail found throughout this car is second to none.  

 

The windows go up fast by Ferrari standards.   The engine runs flawlessly and the transmission shifts just as it should.

 

Driven over LA's ragged streets the Boxer feels more solid than most modern sports cars without any shakes or rattles.  

 

There is simply too much to list here and as they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

 

If there is a better Boxer anywhere in the world I would love to see it.   Please contact me for more information. additional photos and a PDF of the Forza article. Serious inquiries only.   Interesting trades. part-trades considered.   E. g. SLR Roadster. 550 Barchetta. etc.
