I'm no Ferrari expert, but I believe the car is actually a Ferrari 365 GT4 BB. The car is marked on the bottom as 365GT, which is wrong, but it was guessed that it was a 512BB instead.

However if you look at pictures of the 512BB, there are 2 tail lights on either side and an air scoop in front of the rear wheels at the bottom edge of the body. Real image examples here.

If you look at images of the 365 GT4 BB, there are 3 tail lights and no side scoops. Real image examples here.

So yeah, I think the mistake Zee made was leaving off the "GT4 BB". Holding off on posting images until things are discussed. :)

Can't say I know enough about Ferraris to offer an educated opinion.

You would be correct. That's a 365 GT4 BB. As you mentioned, the 512 BB has the added NACA ducts in front of the rear wheels, and only has two tail lights per side instead of 3, (along with also being a longer wheel base and a few minor cosmetic changes that aren't as easy to differentiate, like a front lip spoiler).

Awesome clarification!! Glad to finally find out that Zylmex didn't completely mess this one up, as was originally proposed! Great info!
