Ferrari Mailing List: Re: One of Four 1979 Ferrari 512BB KOENIG Boxers Heading to Auction

[Erik Nielsen (judge4re]

I have more fun at speed on Bauers than Michelins, and the former gives me a much better work out.  Everyone needs to find their individual passion.

Erik, the younger Listers still need the speed!

Lighter wheels, seats, battery and suspension could cut 200lbs really quickly.

Still have another 400 to go though on the BBs.

I no longer need to go that fast.

The Bentley gets driven more than the Ferraris do around here.

Yes, could be a fun ($$$) project.

And then, there are the chassis mods that would be needed.

Where would you cut the 800 lbs from?

I’m pretty sure with a few modern tricks, you can easily get 450 hp out of the engine and still make it look stock.

The BBi is a nice, comfortable but very heavy GT car.

The Koenig engine upgrades would be welcomed!

Has anyone ever driven a full spec conversion?

There is one on ebay that hasn’t sold in years...

I liked the boxer. In BBI trim.

I hope your not talking abut the stock boxer!  :-)

They looked dated when new.

It’s worth one bid more from the drunk guy in the back of the room than what the chandelier is willing to pay.

German mods on a Ferrari seems like guilding the Lilly a bit to me!  I'd rather have a stock BB.  What do you guys Think?  What is this thing worth anyway?
