Ferrari 355 Spider 1998 6 Speed

I honestly believe that this has to be one of the best 355 Ferrari for sale at the moment, quite a statement.... but just take a look.......almost the last of the line a 1998 Spider finished in stunning NART Blue 253 with dark blue top and tan interior, it has the much more desirable 6 speed manual transmission with the signature Ferrari shift gate and it has covered only 9,122 miles from new.  
When the 355 first appeared, nearly all cars were ordered with the F1 transmission, pretty much a revolutionary system developed by Ferrari from its F1 program, well the years have moved on and that system is really quite antiquated by todays standards, its also costly to repair, the 6 speed is not only rare its a joy to drive and instantaneously responsive.

Carfax & History
The super clean Carfax report details four owners from new, but one is simply a dealer who transferred the title and held the 355 for only one month, there are no faults or damage recorded and it lists this car as a + on the pricing guide. As for servicing there are several records but of most importantly it documents a full Cam Belt service including engine oil, gearbox oil, plugs, brake fluid, coolant and all accessory belts in January of 2012 at 8,213 miles by official Ferrari dealer Lake Forest Sports Cars. Quite recently the roof has been overhauled and serviced by a local specialist to the tune of close to $6000:00

Exterior
The exterior is as close to flawless as you could find, I have found only a few chips on the whole car, panel fit is perfect, the soft top looks like new, windows and lights are clear and bright and the doors clunk shut effortlessly. All door furniture is in excellent shape, plating is as new and resplendent in its original Cad/ Zinc plating

Interior
The leather is lovely and fitting of its super low miles, seats are supple and soft,  The only leather flaw is to the bolster on the left of the drivers seat, it has some minimal color wear on just a tiny patch, carpets are excellent, the dashboard is perfect throughout with no lifting at the corners. The Air Bag cover is slightly rippled as can be seen in the pictures and the plastic surfaces of the switches have some lifting but no serious "sticky" areas as is typical of the 348 and 355 models.

Motor & Drivetrain
As you would expect the motor starts and runs flawlessly, gears are engaged with ease and there are no road dramas whatsoever, brakes pull up effortlessly.

I would consider this car of collector standard, coupled with its unique color scheme, low miles and most importantly the 6 Speed Manual gearbox, with prices rising of the 355 models this particular car has to be at the forefront of values. The soft top boot, tool kit and a car cover are included, the original books are not with the car.

The usual stuff
I am a licensed California Car Dealer, and therefore must collect all applicable California sales and use taxes due to buyers in California, if you are an out of state buyer the only way to avoid these taxes is to have the vehicle transported to your home state by a bonded carrier which we can arrange. Payment is due in full within seven days of auctions end. Any reasonable inspection is welcome before auctions end at buyers expense. You are welcome to call me on 925 789 9825 at any reasonable time
Please note, this is not a computer game your bid is a binding contract.

Ferraris, Porsches and planes star at McCall’s Motorworks Revival

Thu, Aug 17 2017

MONTEREY, Calif. – McCall's Motorworks Revival, sometimes called The Jet Party, kicked off vintage car week here as enthusiasts streamed into the region for days of car shows, official automaker events and hob-knobbing leading up to Sunday's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Held at the Monterey Jet Center, the revival featured an array of exotic and classic cars blended in with planes, racecars, motorcycles and luxury items like jewelry. This year the eclectic lineup of cars included vintage Ferraris and Porsches, a raised 1964 Chevy Impala, a classic Toyota Land Cruiser and a Cobra. The 1960s Ford GT40 racecar sat near the modern Ford GT, while Camilo Pardo, the designer of the in-between generation (2004-06), held court nearby. Iconic planes like the B25, P51 and an ancient biplane were intermingled with the flashy cars. Show-goers tipped drinks, tossed back heavy hors d'oeuvres and desserts, ogled the seemingly random collection of amazing machines and prepared for days of celebrating the automobile on the Monterey Peninsula. The revival is in its 26th year and is put on by McCall Events, whose owner Gordon McCall is a class judge at the concours and the cofounder another Monterey car week staple, the Quail. The revival also collects donations for a California police charity. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
