Summer of 94 I believe. The first owner was a very well know collector, so he likely got one of the first ones available.

I'm not sure John. Why not send Larry a PM and ask him what he knows. I'm just going off of what he told me.
My car is a July 94 build as well. I was curious to know when they actually started production. Perhaps our cars were the first ones on the assembly line .
My sept '94 is 100329. Based on the 355 registry, there are 5 or 6 sub 100000 cars in the US and some may have been brought over later (not originally US cars).
This one I remember as I almost bought it years ago- http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/139301288-post22.html
Pretty significant price drop on the Blu Scuro B on ebay. Down to $84,888. Ferrari 355 | eBay I doubt it will last long at the new price.
Only detractor seems to be the mileage. Which in the real world is really low, but in the Ferrari world is of course "a bit higher." I'd love to have that car to keep forever and not worry about the mileage. Robb
listing on ebay already ended....I traded e-mails with the seller. He's a lot closer to the trade price he offered me on my '77GTB...wonder if the trade in offer is still good.....
It was for sale on Fchat for almost the entirety of last year for 72k and dropped to 69k at one point. Hard to believe it took so long to sell at that price and then sells quickly at a much higher price a few months later.
I'm always suspect of a seller that won't even spend the $500 to properly detail and prep a car for sale...look at that hideous engine compartment.
IIRC the car was sold, then traded for a 512M and now is for sale with Exotic Cars Midwest EDIT: to clarify, I traded e-mails a few months back when it was listed for $109k. It's dropped slowly the last two months and suddenly it dropped to $85k.
the flip side of that is presenting it as they got it is honest. "We didn't detail it because we didn't want to hide anything. Once sold we will go over it for the new owner."
Perhaps, but I think it is the sign of either a cheap owner or one who neglects their possessions. My car was a 'driver' (I put over 30k miles on while I owned it), and I always kept the interior, exterior and engine compartment in great, presentable condition. I sold my car with around 63 or 64k miles and it looked way better than that car.
