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.

Race Recap: 2013 Bahrain Grand Prix follows the template of this year and last [spoilers]

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

The sand, the wind, the penalties, the contact and the one crash - all of them collided to make the Bahrain Formula One Grand Prix a surprise affair from day to day and lap to lap. Oh, and did we mention the tires? Pirelli made a last-minute swap after the amusement park ride that the Chinese Grand Prix turned into with the soft compound tire, and brought medium and hard compounds to the desert. That didn't stop things from falling apart for some teams - literally - and that didn't stop the one team that seems to love the hard compound Pirelli tire.

Ferrari 488 GTE and GT3 unveiled at Mugello

Mon, Nov 9 2015

Ferrari is preparing its latest assault on sports car racing with new racing versions of the 488 GTB. Presented over the weekend at Mugello, the lineup includes both GTE and GT3 racers to replace the current models that were based on the 458 Italia. Though little in the way of details were revealed at the vehicles' presentation, the principal change they present over the accomplished versions they replace are their new turbocharged engines. The 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 replaced the 4.5-liter atmospheric V8 in the road-going version, and is now carried over to the race track as well. Output will, of course, be catered to the regulations pertaining to both classes. Not to be confused with the Volkswagen's hybrid lineup, GTE is the category that replaced the previous GT2 class, and with it absorbed the defunct GT1 class, as well. It's run principally at Le Mans and its associated championships, and the outgoing Ferrari 458 Italia GT2 has proven a force to be reckoned with. That car took top honors in its class every year since the inception of the FIA World Endurance Championship, and won its class twice at Le Mans. Its turbo successor will have quite a challenge in keeping up that legacy. The GT3 class, meanwhile, is a step below, running in the Blancpain Endurance Series, Pirelli World Challenge, and the like. Here the teams running Ferrari equipment could use some extra help, and the new 488 GT3 aims to deliver that competitive edge to get ahead of rivals. Those include GT3 racing versions of the Aston Martin V12 Vantage, Audi R8, Bentley Continental GT, Lamborghini Huracan, McLaren 650S, Mercedes-AMG GT, Nissan GT-R, and Porsche 911 (to name just a handful). Ferrari presented the pair at its end-of-year Finali Mondiali event, which wraps up the various regional Ferrari Challenge series run around the world. This year's was held this weekend at the Mugello circuit in Italy. Last year's was in Abu Dhabi where the FXX K was revealed. The previous year's was also held at Mugello, where the current 458 Challenge Evoluzione was presented. The 2016 event is scheduled to be held in North America for the first time at Daytona the weekend of December 1-4, 2016. With the GTB, Spider, GTE, and GT3 variants now presented, the next step in the fleshing out of the 488 lineup will be to present the new Challenge racer for the company's own spec racing series.

Drive like a prince: Join us for a walk through Monaco's car collection

Fri, Dec 29 2023

Small, crowded, and a royal pain in the trunk lid to drive into during rush hour, Monaco sounds like an improbable location for a huge car museum. And yet, this tiny city-state has been closely linked to car culture for over a century. It hosts two major racing events every year, many of its residents would qualify for a frequent shopper card if Rolls-Royce issued one, and Prince Rainier III began assembling a collection of cars in the late 1950s. He opened his collection to the public in 1993 and the museum quickly turned into a popular tourist attraction. The collection continued to grow after his death in April 2005; it moved to a new facility located right on Hercules Port in July 2022. Monaco being Monaco, you'd expect to walk into a room full of the latest, shiniest, and most powerful supercars ever to shred a tire. That's not the case: while there is no shortage of high-horsepower machines, the first cars you see after paying ˆ10 (approximately $11) to get in are pre-war models. In that era, the template for the car as we know it in 2023 hadn't been created, so an eclectic assortment of expensive and dauntingly experimental machines roamed whatever roads were available to them. One is the Leyat Helica, which was built in France in 1921 with a 1.2-liter air-cooled flat-twin sourced from the world of aviation. Fittingly, the two-cylinder spun a massive, plane-like propeller. Government vehicles get a special spot in the museum. They range from a Cadillac Series 6700 with an amusing blend of period-correct French-market yellow headlights and massive fins to a 2011 Lexus LS 600h with a custom-made transparent roof panel that was built by Belgian coachbuilder Carat Duchatelet for Prince Albert II's wedding. Here's where it all gets a little weird: you've got a 1952 Austin FX3, a Ghia-bodied 1959 Fiat 500 Jolly, a 1960 BMW Isetta, and a 1971 Lotus Seven. That has to be someone's idea of a perfect four-car garage.  One of the most significant cars in the collection lurks in the far corner of the main hall, which is located a level below the entrance. At first glance, it's a kitted-out Renault 4CV with auxiliary lights, a racing number on the front end, and a period-correct registration number issued in the Bouches-du-Rhone department of France. It doesn't look all that different than the later, unmodified 4CV parked right next to it. Here's what's special about it: this is one of the small handful of Type 1063 models built by Renault for competition.
