Rosso Corsa with tan interior, custom mats. Car is in excellent condition a runs great. 39,500 miles. I purchased it in September of 2010 with 34,033 miles. Has some wear on the driver seat bolster which is common. Can use a seat re-dye in this area that is an easy do-it-yourself job. No sticky parts. E brake handle is the only part that was not redone. Front and rear bumper and side skirts redone. Rear bumper had a shoddy repair done from a minor rear impact. Seems like someone backed into it with a trailer hitch. I had it done correctly and it is now perfect. Front bumper had some scratches underneath which is another common thing with these cars due to the clearance being so low. I also had skid plates installed. Side skirts has some rock chips around wheel wells so I had those redone. Overall the paint is in excellent shape. There is a clear bra over the hood/fender area. I installed expensive aftermarket shields on the sides. Michelin Pilot SS tires were installed @ 37,864 miles so they are like new. These are the same tires that are used in the current models. Clutch was done @ 35,728 miles. Throw out bearing was also replaced with a superior Hill Engineering part. CV boots, motor mounts and all new rear bushings where installed. Dash and instrument pod was recovered in original black leather. New - F1/clutch sensor. 360 pump upgrade, Seat potentiometers, Tubi headers. Both radiators were replaced with good used units including Scuderia Rampante silicone radiator hoses @ 38,490 miles. Rebuilt rear shocks. New battery. Alpine stereo with CD and iPod hook up. Billet aluminum passenger footrest and dead pedal. Annual service just completed for $995. I have shown the car in many shows and I took either 1st or 2nd place. Trophies included in sale. I have the complete toolkit with tire inflator and all manuals in the original leather pouch. Battery charger hookup with charger. I only have the red master fob and one key. Last major was done in July 2010. Ferrari recommends doing the major every three years which no one does. Most people do their majors every four years and sometimes five. If I were keeping it I would do the major next summer. The convertible top is original and needs to be replaced. There are two rips on either side of the top. One about three inches and the other about two inches. They have been stitched up as I was going to replace the top this year. New tops can be purchased on eBay for $800. Only other thing is the operation of the convertible top. It goes down fine but when going up it needs a slight push right behind the driver seat so the fork engages the cam that pushes that side up. Hard to explain but was never a big deal to me. It just has to be realigned and I was going to do that when the top was being replaced. There is a thread on Ferrari Chat explaining how to do this. Recently had a shifting issue where car was going into neutral for reasons unknown. Ferrari of Long Island said my TCU accumulator bottle had a leak and needed to be replaced. I ordered a new 360 bottle and retrofit kit (an OEM 355 accumulator bottle is not available from Ferrari). It was installed and of course didn't solve the issue. I wasn't at all happy as you can imagine so I got Ferrari North America involved. They then found the culprit was the intermittent trunk switch failed and needed to be replaced. This lets the ECU know that the trunk is secured correctly. A relatively cheap fix that was overlooked. All is perfect now.
I put in over $20k in upgrades/repairs with receipts to back it up. I also have service records from 9500 miles
I love this car and it pains me to sell it. There is simply no sound like that of a Ferrari and especially the 355. Lots of TLC put into it. I'm moving on to a newer model. I am being as honest as possible here and if there is anything I missed or if there are any questions, please feel free to ask. I feel the price is very fair for the work performed and what it needs.

What new F12 has Ferrari got in store for Frankfurt?
Mon, Jul 27 2015Ferrari is widely expected to be preparing a new version of the F12 Berlinetta to unveil at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show. Assuming the anticipation doesn't prove futile, the question at this point is what that new variant will look like. At present, we're looking at two possibilities. One prospect would see the Prancing Horse marque present an updated version of the F12 to replace the existing model – much like the 488 GTB is replacing the 458 Italia, the California T replaced the previous California, or (perhaps more poignantly) the 575M supplanted the 550 Maranello. Ferrari has, after all, undertaken a pattern of updating its core models half-way through their eight-year life-cycles. The F12 was introduced in 2012, so a refresh for 2016 would be right on schedule. The other possibility, as Autocar asserts (and as we reported last month), would be to introduce a more potent model to slot in above (and alongside) the current F12. That would follow the pattern established by its predecessor, which yielded the hardcore 599 GTO to slot in above the 599 GTB Fiorano. Those latter three letters would be a more likely choice for the performance-focused F12 than the Speciale name that Autocar proposes and which was already used on the ultimate version of the naturally aspirated 458. Either way, we'll likely be looking at more power and less weight. The F12's 6.3-liter V12 currently produces 730 horsepower, and speculation has placed the new version's output anywhere between 760 and 800 hp. In any event, output will likely be enough to steal bragging rights away from the Lamborghini Aventador SV and its 740 horses. Just what form the revised engine will take remains a big question mark, but don't expect it to go turbo like the aforementioned 488 GTB and California T. Ferrari is anticipated to keep forced induction for its eight-cylinder models, and go with a hybrid boost for the twelves. The enhanced F12, then, could adopt an electrically boosted V12 like the one found in LaFerrari, or it could continue on unassisted for another four years until the model line is replaced entirely. One way or another, we're less than two months until showtime, so we'll find out soon enough.
Ferrari LaFerrari Spider reportedly debuts privately
Mon, Mar 7 2016If the Porsche 918 Spyder didn't fulfill your dream of open top motoring in a hybrid hypercar, look for Ferrari to publicly debut a topless version of the LaFerrari (standard version above) in the near future. The Facebook page for Automotive Passion (D. Benoit) asserts the LaFerrari Spider is finally on the way and backs up the claim with a photo of a carbon-fiber box that bears the vehicle's sharp silhouette (below). Motor1 claims that Ferrari plans to build 150 to 200 examples of the LaFerrari Spider, which is less than half of the 499 coupes, and customers already snapped them all up. The Prancing Horse is reportedly charging a hefty premium over the hardtop's $1.4-million price tag for the droptop. Given the coupe's sales success, we are surprised Ferrari didn't take the LaFerrari's roof off even sooner, and rumors about the Spider go back to at least 2014. The removable top might add a few pounds, but the 949-horsepower 6.3-liter hybrid V12 should still be plenty to hustle the hypercar around. Ferrari debuted the LaFerrari Spider at a private event, according to Motor1. Showing the hypercar suggests development in nearing completion, so expect a public debut and official info sometime this year.

LaFerrari 3D model adds depth to Maranello's new supercar
Sat, 06 Apr 2013At its recent Geneva Motor Show unveiling, we couldn't help but spend a good long time gawking at the new LaFerrari supercar. It isn't just that it's the newest top-line Ferrari, or even that it picks up where the Enzo left off - it's just that there's so much to look at, from the ductwork in its long nose to the delicate artistry of its sideview mirrors. There's so much aerodynamic wizardry in play on every surface that you just want to pick it up in your hand and look underneath to take a closer look every which way - even underneath.
Sadly that's not possible, but we may just have the next best thing. Autoblog reader Giorgio has come up with this clever interactive 3D model of the LaFerrari, and we think it's neat enough that you might want to take a look - check it out by scrolling below. And don't forget - we love featuring what our car-crazed readers are up to, whether here or on our Facebook page, so keep those tips coming.
