1999 Yellow Ferrari 355 F-1 GTS
One of the last ones made!
Only 9,885 ORIGINAL ONE OWNER MILES
Up for auction is my Yellow/Black 1999 Ferrari 355 F-1 GTS Targa Top. I special ordered this car from Ferrari of Washington back in 1999. It was one of the last 355 F-1 GTS's imported to the US based on serial numbers. Its build date was March 1999. It was ordered with the daytona black leather seats with yellow stitching on the seats and dash. The roof is also color matched as well. All services have been done by Ferrari of Washington since day one. No accidents ever.
In 2010 at 9,000 miles the major service was done at Ferrari of Washington and so the engine came out. All seals and valve cover gaskets were replaced including the timing belt and tensioners. While that work was done FOW discovered that the original exhaust headers were cracked (very common issue) and needed replacing. I was not about to replace them with another set of the crappy originals. Instead, I replaced the entire exhaust system with aftermarket handbuilt FABSPEED stainless headers and high flow Cat Converters to match the TUBI muffler that was installed in 2005. In addition, carbon fiber air cleaner covers were put in to update the engine compartment (I still have the originals). I upgraded the original Bridgestone tires in 2006 to much sticker BFG rubber in a slighty wider size. They are still in great condition and show little wear.
This 355F1 has been in a heated and air conditioned garage its whole life and has never seen rain. The car is on its second clutch and it has approximately 1000 miles on it. The original clutch saw a lot of stop and go driving in traffic and it eventually glazed over requiring an original replacement from Ferrari of Washington. A new battery was installed last year and it is always on a trickle charger. It just had a recent oil change and fixed some sticky dash issues (very common).
This Ferrari has been very reliable and has never given me any issues or has ever leaked a drop of fluid. It is getting very hard to find these cars with low mileage selling from the original owner. Email me if you have any further questions.
Good Luck with the Bidding!

Meet the man that discovered and restored the oldest existing Porsche
Tue, 11 Mar 2014Luciano Rupolo is an absolutely fascinating gentleman. He was born in France but spent nearly his entire life in Italy as an auto mechanic running his own shop. His grandfather and father instilled a love of sports cars in him that he carried on by historic racing in Italy for decades. He saw his life-long automotive passion repaid when he found and restored the car that might have been the first Porsche registered for the road.
You can spot in his garage a split-window Corvette, Ferrari 250 GTE and other exotics, but Rupolo's most interesting automotive story concerns his Iso Grifo Competizione (pictured above). The sports coupe was found in the Canary Islands as little more than a shell, but Rupolo got help from a prestigious source for its restoration. The result is a motoring masterpiece.
Rupolo is a fantastic storyteller with a captivating, tale to tell. Settle in, scroll down and watch the bittersweet documentary about his life with one of the first Porsches.
Christopher Ward chrono has actual metal from a Ferrari 250 GTO
Thu, 07 Aug 2014We've seen watchmakers use all sorts of methods to make their timepieces more attractive to automotive enthusiasts, from carbon-fiber dials and titanium cases to the logos of partnering automakers and racing series. Some have even designed all-new watches to go with a specific make or model. But Christopher Ward has taken things a step further with its latest chronograph.
The new Christopher Ward C70 3527 GT chronometer eschews all the usual gimmicks and goes for a more interesting one: it actually includes in its construction metal taken from the restoration of a Ferrari 250 GTO - namely chassis number 3527 GT that belongs to one Irvine Laidlaw, a Scottish nobleman and one of the wealthiest individuals in the UK.
When Baron Laidlaw bought his GTO in 2005, he sent it in for a thorough restoration that involved replacing some corroded and damaged exterior body panels. The discarded metal was acquired by TMB Artmetal, which specializes in that sort of thing, and partnered with Christopher Ward to create this limited-edition timepiece. The metal was used to make the back plate on which the number 6 - in homage to 3527's iconic 6 GTO license plate - is etched by laser and placed under museum-grade sapphire crystal.
Ferrari begins releasing official teasers for new supercar
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Regardless of what it will be called, the successor to the Ferrari Enzo will be unveiled next week in Geneva, and like many other automakers, Ferrari will apparently be giving us a slow strip tease of the all-new hybrid supercar.
We've already seen a couple shadowy images of the car's face and rump, but the new shots - provided courtesy of the Ferrari Facebook page - are starting to show us some detail.
The only problem is that we don't exactly know what details we're looking at. In the shot above, that curvy, red real estate could belong to any number of body panels, while the second new teaser shows the Ferrari prancing horse logo with no indication of where on the car it'jk, s located.
