I am selling my 1998 Ferrari F355 F1 Spyder, I have owned the car for 7 years. This is an F355 that you could put in the garage and enjoy on sunny weekends, but mostly, this is an F355 that wants to be driven. The car is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition. It is not perfect, I call it an 8.5 out of 10 with normal small dings, leather wear, and typical aging of a garage kept low mile well kept super car. All Major and minor service is up to date less than 3000 miles ago, plus new tires, and is ready to drive anywhere ant time!! I encourage any serous buyer to come by and take a look at and drive the car. You will be impressed!! I looked at several other 355's before purchasing this one... Based on the condition of those vehicles, I decided to buy this one. Seriously, this one is fantastic. Reliable, factory spec, and a blast to drive. Always starts without issue. Drives like a dream. Scares the hell out of you if you so desire, and looks fantastic. This is a car to be proud of, trust to take you anywhere, and just makes you smile when you walk into your garage. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME YOUR PHONE NUMBER TO DISCUSS THE CAR.. I WILL CALL YOU AS SOON AS I AM AVAILABLE. I purchased the car and worked with Brian Stewart from AutoCar here in Indy (see http://www.eurocardoc.com/ for details about Brian's knowledge, capability, and experience) to update the 355 to better than original condition. The previous owner damaged the engine (glad to share the story over the phone just send me your number and I will call) so I worked with Brian and he located a pre-owned 1998 F355 Challenge car complete short block assembly with 18K documented miles (I have the records from the seller documenting the history of the engine - see Pictures). The Challenge owners Son wrecked the "donor" car in 2005, we purchased the engine in 2007. The engine and surrounding components were untouched and in excellent condition. We received the engine and Brian performed cylinder leak down testing to validate the condition of the engine. The Challenge engine leak down tests were well within factory specifications. In addition, the spark plugs from the replacement engine were a perfect light tan color further supporting that the engine was in excellent running condition! Brian went to work completely removed and replaced the original damaged engine with the Challenge short block. In addition to removing the old engine, Brian removed the oil tank, oil lines, and oil cooler and sent them out for ultrasonic cleaning to be certain that there were no contaminants remaining from the old system. AGAIN, PLEASE SEND ME YOUR NUMBER TO DISCUSS ANY DETAILS REGARDING THE SERVICE AND NEW ENGINE!!
Putting it all back together; I asked Brian to
perform a complete major service during the installation. Brian replaced timing
belt pulleys, tensioner, both timing belts, 8 spark plugs, 355 service gasket kit
(required to install the entire air and fuel intake system), G12 anti freeze,
ATF synthetic fluid, synthetic engine oil and filter, 8 intake and exhaust
gaskets, 2 fuel oil ring seals, transmission oil (75w90 synthetic), both air
filters, installed a new oil pan gasket, and took care of a few miscellaneous
hardware needs. In addition, Brian takes the extra step to further improve
reliability by using a cleaner/preservative product designed to eliminate any
connection issues on all electrical connections. In summary, I asked Brian to
repair and replace anything that was needed during this major service - (See the detailed service receipt in the pics - will be included with the car!!). I have records back to the original owner, the receipt from all the service I had completed as described (see pics), the owners original leather manual holder, original manual, various original option and service manuals, and the original convertable top cover (boot) see Pics!! In my and
several other Ferrari owners/driver opinions, the 355 is THE LAST of the “not too much tech”
Ferraris. The driver controls are sharp,
the feel of the road is amazing, and taking a corner really feels like you are
driving the car instead of the technology taking over like on the newer models.
This IS and drives like a classic Ferrari, with just enough modern comforts. As mentioned, the owners manual, leather holder, past and current records are included. If you are looking for a great F355, this is the one! Take a look at my feedback and bid with confidence!! Thank you for looking at my auction, and Happy bidding!! I am asking $53,750 OBO. Again, please feel free to send me your phone number to discuss details. |

Are you the Enzo-succeeding Ferrari F150?
Fri, 08 Feb 2013We've brought you no end of spy shots and rumors surrounding the new Ferrari hypercar, often referred to as F150, that is destined to succeed the Enzo as the Italian maker's top offering. Now, one new and highly speculative rendering has come to light whose origins are interesting, even if the final product is still pretty much a stab in the dark.
The rendering you see here was created by an organization called goldRush Rally, which published the image on its Facebook page. The claim is that this rendering was based on a "snapshot of a plaque with a sketch of the new supercar." We certainly won't speculate as to what kind of "presentation" a luxury-rally throwing company like gRR would be invited to - to say nothing of why there was a plaque bearing the image of a supercar that has been so well cordoned off from public eyes - but we'll roll with it because we love the internet.
Even if the story is completely true (big if), we're fairly certain the details of the rendering miss in some places relative to the real deal car. The front wheel wells, for instance, seem comically thin around the top, and hold wheels that are way out of proportion with the spy shots and videos we've seen so far. More promising, however, is the detailing of the door and sill of the F150 - portions of the car that have consistently been covered in spy shots.
Ferrari revealed the LaFerrari Aperta, and yeah, it's already sold out
Thu, Sep 29 2016We saw this one coming as far away as the mid-engine Corvette: The LaFerrari is getting a convertible version. Publically revealed Thursday at the Paris Motor Show, the LaFerrari Aperta promises the same performance as the regular LaFerrari – with an open-air design. We had seen it already, actually, but today brought confirmation that it will be called Aperta, not Spider. It's already sold out (duh) and will be limited to 209 copies. Two hundred of those go to regular people, or Ferrari customers anyway, and nine will be held back by the company to show off at events in 2017 as the automaker celebrates its 70th anniversary. Ferrari says the LaFerrari Aperta maintains the torsional rigidity and aerodynamics of the hardtop. The powertrain is the same: a V12 paired with an electric motor and KERS technology to generate 949 total horsepower. Meanwhile, Ferrari revealed details on five liveries to celebrate its 70th anniversary based on its current product line with a total of 350 units set to be produced. They are: The Steve McQueen, which takes inspiration from SMQ's iconic 1960s 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso. The Green Jewel, a green scheme based on the 365 P2 from Le Mans competition. The Stirling, which evokes a 250 GT Berlinetta SWB from 1961 driven to victory by Stirling Moss. The Schumacher, a red color scheme based on Ferrari's 2003 Formula One car piloted to seven victories by Michael Schumacher. The White Spider, a tribute to the 375 MM Pinin Farina Spider. The company also showed the rear-wheel-drive, turbo V8-powered GTC4 Lusso T for the first time at an auto show. As you can tell, the Paris show is a busy one for Ferrari. That's fine with us.

Race Recap: 2015 US Grand Prix was wet, wild, and historic
Mon, Oct 26 2015Hurricane Patricia made landfall in Mexico this weekend, and made her presence known throughout the South. For two of the three days of the grand prix weekend it rained non-stop in Austin, so badly on Saturday that qualifying had to be postponed until Sunday morning, and then it only stayed dry enough to conduct the first two sessions. At the end of a tricky, slippery Q2 Nico Rosberg had put his Mercedes-AMG Petronas on the front row, one tenth ahead of teammate Lewis Hamilton. The German had done the best he could to keep his hair-thin chances of a World Championship fight alive. Daniel Ricciardo lined his Infiniti Red Bull Racing chassis in third ahead of teammate Daniil Kvyat, both drivers having moved up a place because Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel took a ten-spot grid penalty for using a fifth engine and dropped to 13th. Continuing the two-up theme, Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg were fifth and sixth for Force India. After that came variety: Felipe Massa in seventh for Williams, Max Verstappen for Toro Rosso in eighth, Fernando Alonso looking good in the rain for McLaren in ninth, and Romain Grosjean for Lotus in tenth. When the lights went out, Turn 1 set the tone. Pole position is on the outside line at Circuit of the Americas, and Hamilton had got himself far enough under Rosberg by the time the two got up the hill that Rosberg had to stick to the outside through the corner. At the corner exit Hamilton used the entire track, pushing Rosberg wide, their cars touching. As Rosberg left the track and dropped back to fourth, Hamilton radioed to the team to say the contact was unintentional. The two Mercedes' and two Red Bulls animated the front. Rosberg passed Ricciardo at the end of a Virtual Safety Car period employed to let the marshals clean the debris at Turn 1. Kvyat started chasing down Hamilton until the Russian ran wide and let Rosberg and Ricciardo through, then Rosberg ran wide on the next lap to let Ricciardo through. On Lap 15, Ricciardo passed Hamilton through the esses to take the lead. After the first round of pit stops the Aussie still had the lead, followed by Rosberg, Kvyat, Hamilton, and Vettel. Then Rosberg got around to take the lead and Vettel closed in on Hamilton as the Brit duked it out with the Russian. Rosberg showed excellent speed, building up a nine-second gap on Ricciardo, but a Safety Car period erased that when Marcus Ericsson had to park his dead Sauber on the inside of the track after Turn 10.
