Ferrari 355 GTS (1996)
for sale

Price: US $115,000.00

Description:

Up for sale is my 1996 F355 GTS, Rosso Corsa exterior with a tan interior, 30, XXX miles. If you're looking for a 355 you probably already know the GTS is the lowest production variant. It offers the advantage of an open top but still retains the beautiful coupe shape with the flying buttresses. I searched for about 6 months before I bought this car. There is a lot of variety in the quality of 355s that are being offered for sale and I wanted one that was in great condition and mechanically sorted.
This is the most exciting car I have ever had, the high flow cats with the Fabspeed y pipe and Capristo exhaust make this car absolutely scream! The sounds it makes at 5-8k rpm are simply unbelievable. The 355 is also considered one of the best sounding and looking Ferraris ever. Every time I take the car out, I get at least one compliment about how beautiful/gorgeous/stunning the car is. Until you drive it, it's very hard to describe how unique of an experience it is. The car feels extremely mechanical and you are connected to the road in a way that nothing modern can really come close to.
The car has been pampered by all of its owners and I have done the same. If you're looking for a 355 you probably know they're on the rise price wise. This one is fully sorted mechanically and in case it matters, I'm selling it because I have decided I want to get an Italian V12.
Service history:
1) January to February of 2016, Fast Cars of Redondo Beach at 27k miles:Major/engine out timing belt service (w/ Hill Engineering Tensioners)Full fluid flushNew plug wiresNew valve coversHyper flow catsCV boot driver's sideMotor mountsValve guides + rebuilt headsNew cat ECU
The car did not need the valve guides done but I wanted it to be fully sorted mechanically so that is why I spent the extra amount to have that done.
2) March 2016, done by myself:New struts for the front and rear hoodsNew downstream/rear O2 sensors Capristo Stage 2/3 exhaust (still have the stock muffler)Some of the center console buttons were sticky and I had those fixed.
3) May 2016, F&M Motorsports:New batteryThermostat upper hose replaced
4) June 17th, 2016, F&M Motorsports:Oil change
5) Late June, 2016Rebuilt fuel injectors
Cons:1) At one point the tool bag strap was removed from the trunk and it needs to be riveted back. I don't have a rivet gun so I haven't done it yet.2) It has a few small rock chips, mainly on the front. I was going to have a full detail done but I would rather have the next owner use someone of their choosing. If you don't have anyone, I can make a recommendation.3) The brake and ABS warning lights light up on the dash every now and then. This has been reported by the previous owner about 3 years ago as well. My previous Maserati did the same thing and since I knew it wasn't anything serious, I haven't prioritized finding the issue. I'm guessing it's a dirty sensor.4) Hand brake leather is torn in one spot which is a common issue for these cars.
Pros:1) Fabspeed headers ($2, 900) w/ ceramic coating so you don't have to worry about cracked OEM headers.2) Hyper flow cats ($2, 000) so you don't have to worry about them failing like the OEM cats.3) Capristo exhaust ($4, 000) which is hands down the best sounding 355 exhaust. I still have the OEM muffler.4) Fabspeed bypass y pipe with secondary cat delete ($1, 700).5) Major service just done 5 months/3000 miles ago so you don't have to do it for another 5 years.6) Valve guides done along with rebuilt heads.7) GTS model w/ body colored top, looks much better than the black ones in my opinion.8) 3 pedals so no F1 issues.9) Tires are in great condition with plenty of tread.10) I will include a California Car Cover.11) Books & tool kit.12) Has carbon fiber door sills but I still have the original ones.13) Battery tender installed.14) HID lights so you can actually see at night.15) For the right price, I will also include a 355 Schedoni luggage set.
