This was my dream car that I spent three years searching for! I wanted a 355 because nothing sounds like a 355 with a Capristo Stage 3 exhaust, which this one has that I put on new last year! As close to an F1 car as you can get. After I warmed her up, you can hear her here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDcNs-b6tCU


Of significant importance to me was to find one that had all records and was perfectly sorted. That is THIS car. The original owner had her from 1998 to 2011. A person in Florida bought the car, put $17k in service to make her right including new headers (Fabspeed), put 300 miles on it and then sold it to me. I've made sure everything was perfected there after.

I put track pipes on to replace the cats, a brand new Capristo Stage 3 exhaust ($4k) and Capristo bypass valve so it will never rattle again. I then did about about 50% of the electrical connectors with the Dave Helms Gold SRI Connector Kit which cost around $1500 plus about 20 hours labor as I was tracing down an error code. Turns out that it was just a dead O2 sensor, so I replaced all of them. The car has no codes, no issues.

BODY
The paintwork was fully paint corrected and is a mirror as you can see in the pics. The top looks like brand new.

The Pirelli P Zero tires still have at least 75% of tread on them.

The interior is in excellent condition but the seat bolsters show typical wear.

Brand new battery put in this year, not due for a major service until 2015.

Valve guides should never need replaced as it was built in April of 1998 and should have, although I haven't verified, steel sintered guides.

I have the full service records and title in hand.

Car has FACTORY SHIELDS, NO STICKIES, ALL BOOKS, 3 Keys (including the RED FOB), NEW BRAKE PADS.

This is the car you've been looking for if you've always wanted a 6 speed manual black 355. No stories, I haven't had to put a penny into any repairs as the previous owner had all the required work done (steel braided fuel lines, headers, etc.) other than the performance upgrades with the exhaust and the bypass valve.

If you want to just get in a 355 and drive it and listen to it and not worry if it's going to break down, this is the ONE. I'm only selling because I bought a 360.

Feel free to ask me any questions!

This 1967 Ferrari 275 is Jay Leno's teenage dream car

Tue, Aug 16 2016

Jay 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:

Nissan GT-R and Ferrari 458 Speciale in track battle by Evo

Thu, 14 Aug 2014

Supercar slayer. That's what they call the Nissan GT-R. And in many ways it is, even though its price and performance over the years have risen to put it squarely in supercar territory of its own right.
In fact, as Evo magazine has been compiling a list of its fastest cars - using the Anglesey Circuit in Wales as its common ground - the GT-R has came out on top... that is, until Evo tested the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The two are about as different as you can get within the supercar segment: one has a turbo six up front driving all four wheels in a 2+2 configuration, the other a mid-engined, rear-drive V8 two-seater. In fact the only common ground you're likely to find between them comes down to their two doors and dual-clutch transmissions. Though they serve it up in different ways, both are class-leading performers.
We're looking forward to watching Evo populate its leaderboard with more entries like the McLaren 650S and more potent Nismo GT-R, but in the meantime the British enthusiast magazine, by popular demand, has released side-by-side in-car footage of both supercars putting their best lap forward around the seaside circuit.

2015 Brazilian Grand Prix is the same as it ever was

Mon, Nov 16 2015

At this point, we hope Nico Rosberg is planning to carry his current qualifying form into the 2016 season and back it up with the same kind of race-day cojones he showed winning the race in Mexico City two weeks ago. The Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver got it right enough again on Saturday afternoon to take his fifth consecutive pole position ahead of teammate Lewis Hamilton by almost a tenth of a second. It's the same one-two from Brazil last year. The bad news for the rest of the field is that the winner in Brazil the last seven years has been one of the two drivers on the front row. Last year it was the Williams duo that lined up behind Mercedes, this year it's Ferrari. Sebastian Vettel plays the stalking horse, securing third in his Ferrari ahead of teammate Kimi Raikkonen in fourth. Williams driver Valtteri Bottas actually qualified in fourth, but he had to serve a three-spot grid penalty for passing under red flags in Free Practice 2, so he started sixth. That promoted Sahara Force India driver Nico Hulkenberg up to fifth. Daniil Kvyat was the quickest representative from Infiniti Red Bull Racing, getting into seventh even with a Renault power unit that's weak on some of the key stretches at the Interlagos track. Felipe Massa had the second Williams in eighth, in front of the second Red Bull driven by Daniel Ricciardo in ninth. Toro Rosso hasn't confirmed its drivers for next year but Max Verstappen keeps making it hard to look elsewhere, taking 10th. Rosberg is working nearly the same trick he pulled last year: drive like a second driver for most of the year, drive like a world champion for the last quarter of a season. He pulled away at the start and covered Hamilton just enough on the run to the first corner to keep Hamilton on the outside. By the end of Turn 1 the German had the lead and didn't give it up for the rest of the race outside of pit stops. Without overwhelming pace to pass and unable to follow closely, Hamilton could do nothing except ask his team for a different strategy to go for the win. When Mercedes told him "No," trying to protect Rosberg's second place in the championship ahead of Vettel, that was the race. Just like last year, Rosberg and Hamilton finished one-two. Vettel, Raikkonen, Bottas, Hulkenberg, and Kvyat drove lonely races to finish in positions three through seven.
