1997 Ferrari 355 Spider Description

Hello,

I have decided to sell my 1997 Ferrari 355 (manual) in Rossa Corsa / Tan. Mileage is 36,036.

The reason for selling is I have other projects currently and it just doesn’t receive the consistent driving it deserves. I purchased the car about two years ago from a local person with a Ferrari collection. I have documentation dating back about 10,000 miles and the first owner. A three ring binder including everything purchased for the car right down to some polo shirts! Ha! I can also provide a Carfax from when I purchased the car.

General:

-Clear title in hand

-Vin and service records available to serious buyers

-All tools including covers and tire inflation compressor

-Clear Carfax (no damage or accident history)

-All manual in leather pouch

-Only one key fob unfortunately

-Battery tender

Extras:

-Tubi headers, Tubi exhaust, Hyper Flow cats

-HRE 18” aftermarket wheels

-Brembo Big brake kit

-A very high end stereo (I know I know) including Bluetooth and a flip up touchscreen

-Gruppe M carbon fiber air intake

Summary:

-This is a very nice driver car. I have confidence I could jump in and drive it anywhere. It starts as it should, drives at it should, and looks great!

Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. Thanks!
