1975 Ferrari 365 GT4 BB Coupe

Ferrari introduced its production-ready Berlinetta Boxer at the 1973 Paris Motor Show. It featured stylistic inspiration from the Pininfarina P6 concept shown at the 1968 Torino Motor Show. The 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer in prototype form first appeared at Torino three years later.

The Ferrari 365 GT4 Berlinetta, the successor to the 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' was the company's first 12-cylinder mid-engine road car. Production commenced in late 1973 for a 1974 model release. The first-series 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxers saw production reach just 387 examples though 1976, prior to subsequent variants continuing through 1984.

This particular example is a late-production example and is the 353rd in production sequence. It is finished in Rosso Chiaro (light red) with beige leather upholstery, and was completed on September 15th of 1975. It was delivered new to dealer Motor S.a.s. Di Carla Allegretti e C. in Rome. In 1976, it was sold from Italy to New York City and then brought to US EPA/DOT compliance by Dick Fritz's Amerispec Corporation in Danbury, Connecticut.

Dr. Ron Finger of Savannah, Georgia, was the car's first owner and took possession of the car in 1977. In October 1980, Dr. Richard Sternberg, became the car's second owner. In October 1986, it passed into the care of another Chicago-area owner before being acquired by Jim Greenwell of Evanston, Illinois, who retained the Boxer for nearly three decades.

Currently, the car has approximately 50,700 km on the odometer.
