Ferrari 355 Spider 1998 6 Speed I honestly believe that this has to be one of the best 355 Ferrari for sale at the moment, quite a statement.... but just take a look.......almost the last of the line a 1998 Spider finished in stunning NART Blue 253 with dark blue top and tan interior, it has the much more desirable 6 speed manual transmission with the signature Ferrari shift gate and it has covered only 9,122 miles from new. When the 355 first appeared, nearly all cars were ordered with the F1 transmission, pretty much a revolutionary system developed by Ferrari from its F1 program, well the years have moved on and that system is really quite antiquated by todays standards, its also costly to repair, the 6 speed is not only rare its a joy to drive and instantaneously responsive. Carfax & History The super clean Carfax report details four owners from new, but one is simply a dealer who transferred the title and held the 355 for only one month, there are no faults or damage recorded and it lists this car as a + on the pricing guide. As for servicing there are several records but of most importantly it documents a full Cam Belt service including engine oil, gearbox oil, plugs, brake fluid, coolant and all accessory belts in January of 2012 at 8,213 miles by official Ferrari dealer Lake Forest Sports Cars. Quite recently the roof has been overhauled and serviced by a local specialist to the tune of close to $6000:00 Exterior The exterior is as close to flawless as you could find, I have found only a few chips on the whole car, panel fit is perfect, the soft top looks like new, windows and lights are clear and bright and the doors clunk shut effortlessly. All door furniture is in excellent shape, plating is as new and resplendent in its original Cad/ Zinc plating Interior The leather is lovely and fitting of its super low miles, seats are supple and soft, The only leather flaw is to the bolster on the left of the drivers seat, it has some minimal color wear on just a tiny patch, carpets are excellent, the dashboard is perfect throughout with no lifting at the corners. The Air Bag cover is slightly rippled as can be seen in the pictures and the plastic surfaces of the switches have some lifting but no serious "sticky" areas as is typical of the 348 and 355 models. Motor & Drivetrain As you would expect the motor starts and runs flawlessly, gears are engaged with ease and there are no road dramas whatsoever, brakes pull up effortlessly. I would consider this car of collector standard, coupled with its unique color scheme, low miles and most importantly the 6 Speed Manual gearbox, with prices rising of the 355 models this particular car has to be at the forefront of values. The soft top boot, tool kit and a car cover are included, the original books are not with the car. The usual stuff I am a licensed California Car Dealer, and therefore must collect all applicable California sales and use taxes due to buyers in California, if you are an out of state buyer the only way to avoid these taxes is to have the vehicle transported to your home state by a bonded carrier which we can arrange. Payment is due in full within seven days of auctions end. Any reasonable inspection is welcome before auctions end at buyers expense. You are welcome to call me on 925 789 9825 at any reasonable time Please note, this is not a computer game your bid is a binding contract. |

Electro super star Deadmau5 selling kitty-themed Ferrari 458
Thu, 19 Jun 2014Are you a huge fan a electronic dance music, Internet memes, and in the market for a customized Ferrari? Then today is your lucky day. EDM star Deadmau5, real name Joel Zimmerman, is selling his Ferrari 458 Spider on Craigslist. He calls it the Purrari, and it features a full-body wrap of the eight-bit Nyan Cat, pink brake calipers, prancing cat logos, a Purrari emblem 6,500 miles on the odometer. It's currently located in Toronto, Canada, with an asking price of $380,000. Any amount offered over that is being donated to the Toronto Humane Society.
In addition to the car, the buyer gets an iPod full of "nyancat songs" and a meeting with Zimmerman to say goodbye to his Purrari over a cup of coffee. If you're not in the Toronto area, he is willing to ship the feline automobile anywhere in North America. Obviously, a blue, cat-themed Ferrari isn't to everyone's taste, so Zimmerman can remove the wrap at the buyer's request... though he won't be happy about it.
If you're curious why Zimmerman would sell such a personalized item, it appears a new supercar has his eye now. On May 28, he tweeted about driving a McLaren 650S and announced the Purrari would go up for sale soon. We can only imagine what theme his next ride gets.
LaFerrari testing with turbo V6 F1 engine?
Mon, 02 Dec 2013If Ford went and tested a NASCAR engine in a production Ford Fusion, it'd just be silly. Ferrari testing its new 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6 Formula One engine in a LaFerrari hypercar is not silly - it's excellent.
Now, we can't be certain if the video shown above is actually Ferrari's new F1 powerplant. Based on the big roof-mounted intake, the weird sounds coming from the camo'd LaFerrari and the teasers we've been hearing from other F1 engine providers, the race engine is a tantalizing idea.
The other possibility, perpetuated by our friends over at Road & Track, is that Ferrari is using the LaFerrari to test a next-generation powerplant. That looks good on paper, but this car strikes as being far too loud for any road legal engine. What do you think? What's Ferrari up to at Fiorano? Scroll down for the video and then let us know in Comments.
Watch the Ferrari LaFerrari get put through its paces by Top Gear and Evo
Wed, 30 Apr 2014Do you know what today is? Well, besides being the anniversary of the signing of the Louisiana Purchase (thanks France!), Consumer Protection Day in Thailand and Michael Waltrip's birthday, April 30 marks the expiration of the first of two embargoes on the Ferrari LaFerrari.
That means you're probably going to see quite a bit on Ferrari's hypercar in the coming days. One of the first things we've stumbled across is this video from our friends at Top Gear. Now, this isn't Jeremy, James and Richard playing with the ultra-powerful hybrid (although it's probably only a matter of time before the LaFerrari arrives at Dunsfold), it's the TG magazine crew. It's best to think of the Top Gear video as an appetizer, though.
The main course comes from Evo, which has a far lengthier and more detailed spot, running a full 10 minutes of fun. Dickie Meaden samples the 900-plus-horsepower monster on both the Italian roads and the Fiorano test track. We won't spoil the outcome, so be sure to take a look below for both videos.
