Sold 1996 Ferrari F355 GTS Gated manual, in giallo w/recent ENG out

I have available for purchase a superb GTS. I have owned it for about 4 years and just recently had the engine our service in March of this year.

Earlier this year I was asking a lot for the car, now I am pricing it to sell as I am selling off most of my cars.

When the engine out service was performed I had all the seals, tensioners and water pump replaced with Hill Engineering parts. T/O bearing was replaced as well.

When the engine out service was performed we found it was time for the valve guides to be replaced. I also added the following with the engine out:

Capristo bypass valve (stock ones are prone to issues), Fabspeed headers and (Fabspeed cats were added just before that engine out service).
BMC race air filters too.
Because of the Fabspeed cats and Fabspeed headers, I opted for the GOTHspeed electronic controllers for the exhaust, to trick the ECU into not sending CEL codes. This is easily reversible. All these mods make the car better than stock and give it good performance.
The valve covers were painted and refurbished with the engine out.
Aftermarket heat shields were installed over the axles that protect much better than the stock ones.

When the engine was complete we also added a "unbreakable" driveshaft from GT engineering in Germany. This mod greatly outperforms the stock driveshaft with 100's of proven races with them. The stock ones are prone to shattering being the tensile strength was too high and makes them brittle under load.

The clutch is really something special. The dual mass is included, but the car has a Ferrari 360 style sprung clutch now, but engineered for a F355 -that feels a lot better and benefits from a CNC fly wheel by MD clutches of the UK, all of which is made and manufactured by MD. All of these parts are top of the line engineered products that are race proven and again are much better than stock. The owner never has to worry about the cumbersome and heavy dual mass, greasy mess of a clutch and its installation.

I feel the brakes were never to par on the F355 so I had new GiroDisk 550 maranello brakes added with 964 calipers ( a common big brake mod). The stopping power is now incredible. The calipers are all painted in
giallo Ferrari code to match the car with vinyl lettering to match.

The car also benefits from a challenge rear grill.

The cars paint is original and the front bumper has a few chips from rocks over the years.
The car was in California before my hands and it spent a majority of its life in the dry weather. The interior is in good condition overall but the dash could be recovered as it has some shrinkage and one button is sticky. The rest of the interior is pretty decent.

Factory rims were replaced with factory BBS F355 Challenge mangesusm wheels.

The car retains factory red car cover, seat covers and the steering wheel cover.

The car drives fantastic and has zero issues mechanically or electrically. All keys are included (3).

I have a lot of receipts for the car and will be included in the sale


All the stock parts are included.
Has about 37700 miles on the odometer and about 4000 of those miles I added.

I am asking $92k for the Gated F355

They also media blasted the exhaust springs. In one pic they look a bit coated, that was rectified.

Next service would be 3-5 years from now. These days it really depends on who you ask. I tend to be more on the conservative side.

Have not been on here in some time. Car is still on the market. Now it has a complete DOCUMENTED paint correction, front bumper respray due to chips etc and is immaculate.

PM me only please as I hardly come on anymore.

Price is now $99k.

 

Sill up for sale.

 

I am a certified aircraft tech, did the clutch myself and the very minor mods. Big mods were done by Elite Motorworks of Sarasota.

 

Did they make the Challenge in silver? I thought it was only white? Anyway Black is how they still sit on the car.

Be glad to have them painted in any color for a new owner once/if a deal is made, not a lot of reason though for me to go through that now. Someone may want them in black, etc. It is about $500-$1000 to have wheels painted or powder coated here in SW FL.

 

Jamie is the owner, by far the best in shop in SW Florida. What I love about him is he is so easy to work with. He worked on my car personally and is extremely knowledgeable. He even orchestrated the unbreakable race drive shaft that I had installed ( only one company in the world that makes them, in Germany). His attentive detail and love for cars is what really hooked me in with them. There was never an issue they did not address or rectify. I dealt with a lot of shops over the years in Cal, WA state. He puts them to shame.

 

As the pictures no longer really represent the car I will have more after the paint correction is done. The longer this is for sale the more my desire to let her go ceases to exist. She is really coming along. The only week point now is the dash. This has become a very well sorted car indeed. ciao ciao
