Ferrari 412 Koenig Special ?

On Instagram I spotted this Ferrari 412 :

https://www.instagram.com/p/DRsdkvqEQVR/?img_index=5

I had seen this one before as per blog:

https://erwin400.blogspot.com/2020/04/ferrari-412-in-punta-arenas-chile.html

 As such I posted it in the Facebook group and someone mentioned the following:

"That body kit cost 18,000 dollars in the 1990s in Sweden." 

When I asked which company made this bodykit I was told it was done by Koenig. 

I thought Koenig never produced specials for the 400 series as per blog:

https://erwin400.blogspot.com/2020/07/koenig-ferrari-specials.html

Koenig brochure:

Koenig pricelist:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VN_TexoXn3v7wfS7Z1AmKFNgH3DsHNZ3/view?usp=drive_link

You can see it's on the list available to order new but not as a Koenig special.

I'm not aware if they somehow produced a special bodykit for the 412 ...

Just for the records this photo was published in Autojournal 1986

Ferrari solo 12 cilindri - Mondovi motori - Ferrari 365GT4 2+2 Oro restorataion

Yesterday someone posted some photo's in our Facebook group, see captures below. On my ask where this was done I was informed: è stato un progetto Mondovì e motori con gli alunni delle scuole

So I recalled that and I had two posts made about it before, see below: 2023 and 2024.

On a new search I found this latest article. Apparently the project was already finished and released earlier this year in July. The following article says more about it and does include a Youtube presentation video:

And another older article with another presentation video from 2024:

If anyone knows or has a better digital copy available I'm interested to hear from you. Merci!

It’s not everyday you see a Ferrari 400!

This one recently left our workshop after we fitted it with a @blaupunkt.brand Frankfurt Retro style single din stereo and @jblaudio_uk Stage 2 front and rear component speakers!

Also, checkout that Blaupunkt EQ fitted when the car was originally bought!
