1999 Ferrari 355 F1 Berlinetta Red/Tan 21K Miles

Up for sale is my gorgeous, well sorted, low mileage, and extensively maintained 1999 Ferrari 355 F1 Berlinetta!

This car sits at just 21,934 original miles. This car was produced in late March 1999, and was one of the last 355's off the production line. This car has been babied it's whole life. Never launched, tracked, raced, or abused.

Original documents in the owner's booklet date back to late 1998 before the car was even produced. Original records show the updates Ferrari gave to the original owner during the production process and up to the point of delivery. Maintenance and service records are present from new in 1999 up until now. Original complete tool kit (Including original tire inflator), owners manual, booklets, Ferrari indoor car cover, Ferrari seat dust covers, and brochures are all present as well.

The car was delivered to Jupiter Florida where it spend most of its life, until it was sold to the 3rd owner in Arkansas. I am the 4th owner. This car has been extensively maintained throughout its entire life. All maintenance is current and up to date, including the major service and clutch. All repairs and services were completed by the Ferrari dealership or by Ferrari certified experts.

The condition of this car is remarkable. Exterior is near perfect. No scrapes under front bumper. It does have a clear bra on the front end. Only one small defect that was touched up on rear bumper. Hard to see until up close. Interior is near perfect as well with no rips, or stains. Only minor defect is a small split in parking brake boot when in up position which is common on these cars. Still smells like new leather inside. No food, drinks, or smoke have ever been in this car. Always garaged and never driven in poor whether. Car comes with a clean title in my name. This Ferrari has NEVER been in any sort of accident of collision. Clean carfax also ensures this car's originality and healthy history.

Interior= 9/10


Recent Service/Maintenance within the last 1,500 miles

20,500 miles = Engine out service + alternator replaced = $11,755.50

20,600 miles = Engine out to rebuild valves + new cylinder head gaskets = $10,337

20,700 miles = Clutch fluid change, new alignment, full detail, replaced wipers, = $1,543

20,946 = Complete clutch replacement, rebuild DualMass flywheel, complete F1 system refresh. = $6,746

21,300 = Oil change using full synthetic shell 5w-40 oil and Ferrari oil filter kit.

21,850 = Driver's side upper ball joint replaced.


The engine out major service and engine out valve rebuild were completed about 3 years ago (mid 2014) at Boardwalk Ferrari in Plano, Texas. This means you won't have to worry about doing a major service for about another 2-3 years. The entire F1 system overhaul was done about a year ago in mid 2016 at Competizione in Maryland. Everything was done with no expenses spared once again. A normal "cheap" clutch job could be done for $2,000-$3,000 on these cars, however, I opted to replace/refinish every major component and sensor in the system. Hence the $6,700+ repair bill. All receipts are present and can be viewed.


Upgrades within the last 1,500 miles

- Brand new brakes on all four corners. New upgraded drilled rotors and pads all the way around. Calipers have been painted Yellow for a nice contrast in colors ($3,000+).

- Brand new period correct Pirelli tires installed on all four corners within the last 1000 miles. ($1600)

- Carbon Fiber paddle shifters installed to replace the cheap looking oem ones. These really set the interior off nicely.

- Tan Sparco leather sport seats installed. These fit right in with the interior color/style and look OEM. No wear on them at all. Hold you in tight for a great driving experience ($5,000).

- Alcantara suede guage cluster housing with red contrasting sticking. Some sun fade, but looks great.

- Upgraded factory option Ferrari sport wheels. This set ran about $2000 per wheel. They are in perfect brand new condition without a single defect. ($8,000).

- Just recently installed a brand new Capristo Stage 3 Exhaust with Capristo test pipes. I went the extra mile and had the car shipped down to Capristo's facility in Florida to have them professionally install this exhaust system. This ensured the fitment and installation was perfect. This is hands down, without a doubt, one of the best sounding cars in the world! ($7,000+ value)

- NO Sticky Buttons what so ever! Every piece has been reconditioned nicely. ($2,500).

- I do not have the original seats or stock wheels. You can most likely trade or sell these pieces for OEM parts (and have money left over) if that is what you prefer.


Why am I selling?

I am reluctantly selling my baby, but with 7 other cars, I don't drive it as often as I should. However, I try to get it out every weekend or two, to keep it active and keep all the parts in nice operating condition. This car will make for a phenomenal investment or new toy for someone. One thing is for sure, you will not find another 99 Berlinetta Coupe with this beautiful spec, maintenance history, and overall condition ever again. This car makes for a nice show car and a great driver. People stare wherever you go. And I love how many people are impressed by its fantastic condition. I have enjoyed every bit of my time with this gem, but it is time for her to go to a new home.

This is a rare opportunity to own the last classic Ferrari. I have always likened the 355 to the Porsche 993 Turbo. Both being the last of great eras from collectible manufacturers.

Please email or direct message me if you have any questions or if you would like to come view the car in person. The car is located just west of Washington D.C.

Thank you for viewing,
Jeff

The time between those engine out services was only a week or two. I believe when the previous owner got the car back from the major, he heard a slight noise which ended up being the valves. He was very meticulous and had a open checkbook for this car.

 

I forgot to mention, the stock muffler and stock cats are included with the car. However, I don't think anyone will be ditching the Capristo setup
