The Ferrari 412 P was the customer version of the famous 330 P3, built for independent teams such as NART, Scuderia Filipinetti, Francorchamps, and Maranello Concessionaires. Instead of the works car's Lucas fuel injection, it received carbureted engines; Ferrari wanted to ensure that customers could score points, but not beat the factory cars. Two cars were built from the start as 412 P (0850 and 0854), while the others were converted P3s. Due to strikes, only three of the five P3 chassis were completed as finished cars in 1966.

Concept
The 412 P was a P3 chassis with a P3 engine, only with Weber carburetors instead of Lucas fuel injection and with the suspension of the P4. The block was the same 4-liter block as in the P3 and differed from the block of the P4. The reduction in output was deliberate: Customers were meant to score points, but not beat the factory cars. Two cars were 412 P from the start (0850 and 0854), while numbers 0844 and 0848 were originally factory P3s.
The individual cars
0844 was converted by the factory into a customer P3/412 P, then by Ferrari and NART into an open 330 Can-Am; today it resides in Germany once again as a 412 P Berlinetta. 0848 also went from the factory to a customer and is now in Switzerland. 0850 was once converted into a Spyder for the road, but later returned to a Berlinetta; the Ferrari Classiche restoration was completed in 2017. 0854 was rebuilt several times after the fire and is today a Berlinetta once again.
