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!

Chevy ad compares Spark EV with Ferrari 458 Italia

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

Chevrolet's new commercial for the 2014 Spark EV emphasizes the little hatchback's performance over pretty much everything else, and it even goes as far as to compare it to a Ferrari 458 Italia. That's right, the electric bubble is pitched in the commercial as having a higher torque figure than the Ferrari - and it does, with a massive 400 pound-feet ready to be unleashed.
That doesn't translate into a quicker car, however, as the 458's V8 with 570 horsepower and not-exactly-quaint 398 lb-ft gives it a 0-60 time of 3.0 seconds compared to the Spark EV's 7.6-second run.
"We think the fun-to-drive element is an area for us to differentiate ourselves," Sam Basile, executive chief engineer for GM's global minicars and emerging-market vehicles, told Automotive News.

$11.55 million 1964 Ferrari 250 LM highlights RM Auctions' first night in Monterey

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

Some of the biggest auto auctions of the year are held during the weekend of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Millionaires gather in hopes of outbidding their contemporaries for incredibly rare cars. As Bonhams' record sale on Thursday of a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO for $38 million showed, these days the world's most expensive vehicles are found at auctions, often with a prancing horse on the nose.
RM Auctions' Friday sale reinforced this even more when a 1964 Ferrari 250 LM topped the evening by bringing in $11.55 million, after the 10 percent commission. It wasn't the only million-dollar vehicle of the event, though. A 1965 Ford GT40 Roadster Prototype garnered $6.93 million, and a 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 brought $1.705 million. Even a classic 1948 Tucker 48 had a final price of $1.57 million.
Surprisingly, some rather new cars actually brought in quite big money, too. A 2013 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Vitesse Le Ciel Californien sold for $2.42 million, and a 2006 Ford GT with just 13 miles sold for $407,000.
