Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer Submodels
The Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer (BB) was Ferrari's first mid-engine 12-cylinder road car, developed to compete with the Lamborghini Miura. Launched as the 365 GT4 BB in 1973, it featured a 4.4-liter flat-12 engine. The series evolved into the 512 BB in 1976 with a larger 4.9-liter carbureted engine, and finally the fuel-injected 512 BBi in 1981.
Collectors prize the BB for its historical importance and striking Pininfarina design. It marked a significant shift for Ferrari, moving its flagship 12-cylinder model to a mid-engine layout. Carbureted models, especially the rare 365 GT4 BB (387 built), are the most desirable due to their raw driving experience and sound. The later 512 BBi is more common but still represents a pinnacle of 1970s supercar performance.
The market for the Berlinetta Boxer is well-established, with an average price around $272,000. Values depend heavily on the specific model, condition, and service history. Early carbureted cars command premiums, while the more numerous 512 BBi models offer a more accessible entry point. Cars with documented engine-out belt services consistently sell for more.
Buying Tips
- Confirm the date of the last major engine-out service. The timing belts require replacement every 5 years, and it's an expensive job.
- Inspect the steel body panels, floor pans, and chassis tubes for rust. Pay close attention to the sills and the area behind the wheels.
- Check all electrical components. Heat from the mid-mounted engine can make wiring brittle over time, leading to difficult-to-diagnose issues.
- For US-market cars, check the quality of the federalization work. Many were gray-market imports, and conversions vary in quality. Cars retaining their European specifications are often more valuable.
Prices range from $32,000 for project cars to over $500,000 for pristine examples.
