1998 Ferrari F355 F1 Base Coupe 2-door 3.5l on 2040-cars

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. |

What's it like to wakeboard behind a Ferrari F50? Glad you asked
Wed, Nov 26 2014Peons. Peasants. Plebians. Ohioans. You think the videos that show you water skiing or wakeboarding behind pickup trucks are cool? They aren't. Wakeboarding behind a Ferrari F50, though, is most assuredly awesome. Those over-wealthy Einsteins at YouTube channel Tax The Rich have released their latest stunt, which shows a charming yellow F50 towing a wakeboarder down what looks like an irrigation canal. It really is as cool as it sounds.

Race recap: 2015 British Grand Prix is a testament to timing
Mon, Jul 6 2015In front of his home crowd, Lewis Hamilton actually had to work for pole position at the British Formula One Grand Prix. The World Champion couldn't get on top of the setup for his Mercedes-AMG Petronas on Friday, lapping behind teammate Nico Rosberg and the two Ferraris. Come Saturday, after a few alterations and a whole lot of wing to clamp down on understeer, Hamilton returned to his regular program at the front, taking pole position by just over a tenth of a second from his teammate. Williams, thought to be headed for another stretch in the weeds a few races ago, showed its best strength all year. The Grove team got both cars on the second row and in front of the Ferraris, Felipe Massa qualifying ahead of teammate Valtteri Bottas, but they were eight and nine tenths behind the Mercedes'. Kimi Raikkonen out-qualified Ferrari teammate Sebastian Vettel for the second time this year, and only the first time in a straight-up battle with two healthy cars. But more than a second behind the two cars at the front, and with two nearly-impossible-to-pass Williams' in front, neither the Finn nor the German is happy with where they are. Daniil Kvyat claimed seventh, his side of the garage at Infiniti Red Bull Racing having got through the weekend to that point without a single complaint about their Renault power unit. Carlos Sainz, Jr. put a single Toro Rosso inside the top ten in eighth position, ahead of Nico Hulkenberg who did the same for Sahara Force India by slotting in ninth. The second Infiniti Red Bull driven by Daniel Ricciardo did have an unspecified engine complaint – his car kept "bleeding power" on the straights – but even so he managed to qualify tenth with his second-fastest lap. The stewards deleted his best lap because he ran three centimeters outside the track limits at Copse, an infraction that stung a few other drivers as well. Up in front, what would sting the Mercedes-AMG Petronas drivers the most was the start. That's when a dearth of grip struck both Hamilton and Rosberg, allowing Massa and Bottas to slide right up the middle between them and take the first two places. The leapfrogging was so surprising that it looked like the Mercedes drivers were giving the Williams drivers a head start. They diced through the first corners, Hamilton sliding past Bottas into second place halfway through the lap. And then the safety car reported for duty.
