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. |

Do we finally know which hybrid hypercar is fastest?
Sun, Oct 11 2015In order to properly compare and contrast the performance characteristics of competitive automobiles, a number of variables have to be sorted out. For instance, to diminish the human component, the same driver must be used for each lap, that driver has to be capable of wringing the maximum level of performance from each vehicle, and they should all be checked and prepared to make sure they are within manufacturer specs before hitting the track. Speaking of which, the conditions at the track – and, of course, it goes without saying that the cars have to be tested at the same location, on the same day – have to be as similar as possible. Naturally, arranging all of these variables is difficult, if not impossible, and that's especially true when the contenders are the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, and Porsche 918 Spyder. As range-topping models from well-established performance players, these three hybrid hypercars are often lumped into the same category. But which one is fastest? Well, that's been a tough nut to crack, in part because the manufacturers themselves haven't always been willing to play along when it comes time to test these machines head-to-head-to-head. And so, with all that (probably unnecessary) preamble out of the way, we present to you the video above, in which this particular vehicular pedestal is toppled. All three cars are owned by a man named Paul Bailey, they were tested on the same day at the Silverstone circuit in England, and each had British Touring Car driver Mat Jackson at the helm. We're not going to spoil the results, other than to say that all three vehicles were incredibly fast and within spitting distance of one another at the finish line, as you would expect. Intriguingly, this video is said to be part one in a three-part series, so we have more Ferrari vs. McLaren vs. Porsche action to look forward to.

Ferrari SP38 is the latest one-off creation from the Prancing Horse
Wed, May 23 2018Ferrari has unveiled its latest one-off creation, called the SP38, a road- and track-going car built for "one of Ferrari's most dedicated customers" who has a "deep passion for racing." Swathed in a three-layer metallic red paint finish for its all-new body, the SP38 is built on the chassis and running gear of a donor 488 GTB and took its twin-turbo, twin-intercooler influence from the F40. Stylistically, the car concentrates its visual mass over the rear wheels, with a rear spoiler and engine cover reminiscent of the F40, with a wedge shape that narrows toward the front. "In plan view, the strongly tapered nose expands towards muscular wheel arches, giving the car potency and agility," Ferrari says. The engine cover sheds its rear glass and is a flip-up assembly done in carbon fiber, with three transverse slats to siphon off engine heat. At the back, the trailing edge of the rear spoiler "links seamlessly with the wing and with the aerodynamic diffuser at the bottom to create a suggestive frame surrounding the tail volume." Up front, inset headlights were designed to be as thin as possible, with daytime running lights relocated to a slim bumper lip similar to the 308 GTB. No word on the SP38's powertrain, but it seems likely that it's the 488's mid-engine 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8, which makes 660 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. It'll go on display to the public on Saturday, May 26, at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on Lake Como in Italy.

This 1967 Ferrari 275 is Jay Leno's teenage dream car
Tue, Aug 16 2016Jay Leno isn't a major Ferrari fan, even going as far as taking a Lamborghini over one in the past. But in this episode of Jay Leno's garage, he reveals his soft spot for the 275 GTB/4. This Ferrari was one of his dream cars from his teen years. Thanks to David Lee, a watch dealer and the car's owner, Leno gets that chance. Sometimes your heroes meet their heroes. Throughout the video, Leno gushes about the car. From the 3.3-liter V12 engine, to the graceful body work, he doesn't have a single negative word about it. Leno's praise also centers on the simplicity and purpose of this particular machine. It has plain and simple gauges, the only comfort feature is power windows, and it has a classic gated manual transmission. Leno also highlights how the car doesn't compromise its design; The only purpose of the styling is to please the eye. So check out the video above to see Leno fall in love with this red Ferrari. It's worth watching just to hear the V12 breathe deeply through its six carburetors. Related Video:
