Spectacular looking Ferrari F355 Spider with stunning paint, no known chips, scratches, nicks or even a dings! Brand new leather on the seats using Ferrari leather. No sticky plastic interior parts as all those issues have already been tended to. Nearly new deep tread Pirelli PZero tires. Upgraded yet tastefully executed stereo system. The canvas top is in excellent condition. Expensive Ferrari Challenge Grill. New Battery. Brembo brakes. This Ferrari is due for its service and a clutch hence the bargain price. Look at it this way: Save your money and have the service done by your mechanic. That way if there’s ever any issue you know you had the work done and you can take it back to your mechanic! This is much better than a car that has already been serviced! (If you buy a car and the car was serviced by the prior owner and you then have a problem you don’t have the contract with the shop that did the work. you are out in the cold! This way you know exactly what you are getting and you are protected at the same time.) A great investment as the F355 is now at the bottom of its depreciation curve and soon to start appreciating! According to most all polls, the majority of Ferrari owners feel the F355 is the best looking of all the modern V8 Ferraris (360-430). Ferrari manufactured more than 13,000 360 Modenas while they produced just 2,664 F355 Spiders for the entire world. That’s it. A total of just 2,664 Spiders. This rarity combined with its stellar reviews assures the F355 of collector car status. Not long ago Dinos were $30k. Now they’re five to seven times that sum. Legendary racer Phil Hill says it’s one of the top ten Ferraris of all time. Who would argue with Phil Hill? Whether you buy this car or another F355, you’re doing yourself a favor! Real estate and stock markets are volatile and on downward slides. Enjoy your investment every time you drive it and look at it like a piece of fine art! The following article is by the Auto Editors of Consumer’s Guide. Ferrari in the early 1990s was a badly listing vessel. By 1993, production had dropped 50 percent over two years, the F40 was no longer the fastest car on the planet, and the 348 was an also-ran in magazine comparison tests. As England’s CAR summed up in 1994, “When someone else makes the most coveted sports car in the world, you feel an injustice … ” Luckily, Maranello had the will, the talent, and the means to right its ship. First, in late 1992, came the stupendous 456 GT. The follow-up was better. The Ferrari F355 was a modern classic, so beautiful, so well-engineered, so well-received, that it marked the beginning of the end of the old-guard Ferraristi philosophy that the only “real” Ferraris were ones with 12-cylinder engines. The Ferrari F355 in closed Berlinetta and targa GTS form burst onto the scene in spring 1994. It shared most every dimension with its 348 predecessor. Yet it was virtually a new car, as its stunning coachwork indicated. More than 1800 hours of wind tunnel testing influenced the harmonious shape, which incorporated an F1-style flat bottom with an airflow channel that generated enough downforce to offset any lift. Engine, transmission, and suspension received major upgrades. The longitudinally mounted 3496cc V-8 had five valves per cylinder and a stunning 375-380 horsepower at a spine tingling 8250 rpm. The gearbox was now a six-speed with a new type of synchromesh that made it much easier to shift. Electronically adjustable shocks varied stiffness within milliseconds to suit the road surface. Around Ferrari’s 1.86-mile Fiorano test track, the Ferrari F355 was two seconds faster than the 12-cylinder 512 TR. That level of performance — and that sensational shape — landed the Ferrari F355 on countless magazine covers. Testers were smitten. In the hands of former Le Mans winner Paul Frere, an F355 Berlinetta took 4.9 seconds to 60 mph, 11.2 to 100, and 13.3 for the quarter-mile. Top speed was an estimated 183 mph. Frere asserted in his Road & Track report that the V-8 was “probably the best sports car engine ever made” and said the 355 was “the purest purebred yet from Ferrari’s scuderia.” Autocar was just as direct: “At a stroke (this Ferrari) has created a new supercar class of its own, leaving 911s and NSXs for dead. The F355 is so good, in fact, that it makes the once peerless 512 TR look blunt.” Ferrari released a trio of new Ferrari F355 models in 1995. The F355 Spider convertible broke cover on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and was a huge sales success. Its electronically controlled power top retracted beneath a canvas cover. Next was the Ferrari F355 Challenge. Made to compete in Ferrari’s popular Challenge Series, this berlinetta weighed approximately 200 pounds less than the street car. It had a more spartan interior; wire mesh “Challenge” rear grille; lower and stiffer suspension; and revised exhaust, brakes, and wheels. The final ‘95 release was the one-off 355 Competizione shown in Geneva. It was approximately 500 pounds lighter than the F355 Berlinetta and featured a “paddle-shift” sequential manual transmission. This Formula 1-derived technology made its way into Ferrari’s road cars in 1998 with the 355 F1. Its 6-speed gearbox used hydraulic actuators attached to the transmission’s mechanical systems so that upshifts and downshifts were accomplished by tugging paddles situated just behind the steering wheel. The following year, the factory’s Scaglietti customization program became available on all 355s. The Ferrari F355, in all its forms, was a benchmark of such renown that former Ferrari F1 champion Phil Hill named it as one of the 10 best Ferraris ever, placing it alongside such immortals as the 250 GTO and 250 SWB.
