The Pininfarina-designed bodywork was executed by Scaglietti, and construction consists of a steel semi-monocoque with front and rear subframes, aluminum doors and clamshells, and lower panels in fiber-reinforced plastic. This example is finished in Rosso Corsa, and components such as the engine covers and the roof spoiler that were black on earlier versions of the 512 are body color on this late-run example. Features include pop-up headlights, fog lights, a front spoiler, and NACA side ducts. Areas of both the flat black and red paintwork were touched up in 2015 by Classic Coach Repair of Elizabeth, New Jersey, and a spot ahead of the right rear wheel was touched up by the same shop in November 2021.
Five-spoke center-lock wheels are mounted with chrome knockoffs and wear 240/55VR415 Michelin TRX tires. The selling dealer notes that the knockoffs were rechromed circa 2005. A tool kit and a compact spare are situated in the front trunk.
The interior is upholstered in Crema leather that extends onto the dashboard, and the cabin is finished with contrasting tan carpets. Equipment includes air conditioning, power windows, and a gated shifter as well as a factory Pioneer cassette player paired with a corresponding stand-alone graphic equalizer and Pioneer speakers. The selling dealer notes that the console switches and switch plates were replaced under prior ownership in the early 2000s.
The leather-wrapped Momo steering wheel fronts a 200-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline, an analog clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, oil temperature, amperage, and fuel level. A metric speedometer showing 8,725 kilometers (~5,400 miles) was removed in October 1986, at which point an MPH speedometer was installed; a receipt documenting the gauge swap is pictured in the gallery below. The five-digit odometer now shows 5,300 miles, approximately 250 of which were added by the selling dealer. The Carfax report notes a mileage inconsistency in 2008 after the vehicle was advertised as having 10,399 miles.
A space-saver Michelin spare tire mounted on a Ferrari-stamped 19″ wheel is located in the front compartment. The seller notes that the carpeted fiberglass battery and spare-tire covers were removed for photography but are included in the sale.
The 4,942cc F110A flat-12 was rated at 335 horsepower and 333 lb-ft of torque when new. Fuel delivery is controlled by a Bosch K-Jetronic injection system utilizing twin CIS fuel distributors. A 30k-mile service—which included replacement of the timing belts and tensioners—was performed by Ferrari Maserati Dallas of Plano, Texas in September 2003, when 4,525 miles were indicated on the odometer. Work in 2015 at Classic Coach Repair included bleeding the clutch hydraulics; repairing the turn signals, horn, and cooling fans; recharging the air-conditioning refrigerant; and replacing the radiator switch, coolant-tank cap, and air-filter inlet bushings. Work performed in October 2021 included removing and cleaning the fuel injectors, rebuilding the fuel distributors, and replacing the battery, spark plugs, distributor cap, fuel pumps, and hoses. The oil was changed in November 2021. Selected service records are viewable in the photo gallery.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle. Additional underside photos are presented in the gallery.
A Crema leather zippered pouch houses a Ferrari folio with owner’s and service manuals as well as a lubricant-spec card; the seller notes that the warranty card is missing. Service records dating back to the 1980s are included in the sale, and images of the collected documentation are provided in the gallery. A signed copy of the book Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer: The Road and Race Legends by Nathan Beehl also will accompany the vehicle. A judging sheet from the FCA Vintage Concours @ Concorso Italiano in August 2007 (where the car scored 90.5 points out of 100) and a Platinum Award from the Ferrari Club of America’s May 2015 Pennsylvania Concours d’Elegance also are pictured.
