Highs: As I explain on my Diecast Rankings page, this was my first real 1/18 scale Diecast. What a great way to get started, huh? This is an older Kyosho model, that really is done well. Just like my Kyosho Ferrari Daytona, this Ferrari sits exactly right, and is proportioned perfectly. It's a beautiful car in real life, and Kyosho did it justice. Doors have a very nice spring loaded hinge mechanism, and open to reveal a red interior with seats that look like they're really covered in red leather. It's not leather, but the look and texture is excellent and very authentic. Interior is fully carpeted, as is the front cargo area. That's also where you can manually raise or lower the front lights. Engine is wired, and is wonderfully recreated. My favorite part of the car is the front end...both the upper grill in the hood, and lower grill under the bumper area, are made of plastic but you'll have to tap on them with your fingernails to convince yourself they're not really metal. With the headlights raised, I can sit and stare at the front of this car for longer than one would consider sane. Just see photos #5 and 6 below, and see what you think.

Lows: Car does not have working suspension, but that's not really a "low". The only noticeable "low" is that the steering wheel hub just has blank yellow cap, with no Ferrari logo. Other than that, this car is a winner.

Summary: These can be found on the Internet, and once in a while on ebay, but they're somewhat rare. As of July 31, 2003, Exoticar.com had them available at a decent price. If you're building a collection of Ferraris, it might be easy to overlook this one because the 365BB wasn't as "famous" as other models. Many people remember the Ferraris from "Ferris Buehler's Day Off", and "Magnum PI", and the Testarossa, and big-selling 355. But if you miss Kyosho's 365BB, especially the black one, you're missing one of the most beautiful (in my opinion) street Ferraris ever produced. Get one if you have the chance.
