This Ferrari F355 got away, but there are more like it here.

Euro 1997 Ferrari F355 GTS 6-Speed

Sold for $150,500 on 6/1/21

This 1997 Ferrari F355 GTS is a European-specification example that was imported to the United States during prior ownership, and it was federalized for use in the US in 2002 by G & K Auto Conversion of Santa Ana, California. The car is finished in Grigio Titanio over black leather and is powered by a 3.5-liter DOHC V8 paired with a six-speed manual transaxle. A Tubi exhaust system is fitted, and factory equipment includes a removable roof panel, pop-up headlights, 18″ five-spoke alloy wheels, air conditioning, and power accessories. An engine-out service was performed in 2019, and the oil and filter were changed in preparation for the sale. This 355 is now offered by the selling dealer in California with service records dating to 2008, magazines and awards, three key fobs, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Arizona title.

The Pininfarina-designed body is finished in Grigio Titanio (704/C) and features a body-color removable roof panel, air intake ducts on both doors and rocker panels, and rear flying-buttress pillars surrounding a ventilated engine cover. Additional details include pop-up headlights, fog lights, an integrated rear spoiler, Scuderia Ferrari shields, Pininfarina badges ahead of the rear wheels, and dual twin exhaust outlets. Noted flaws include rock chips on the front hood, door scoops, and rocker panels along with scratches on the corners of the rear bumper. The selling dealer states the front bumper was repainted in February 2021, and photos of paint meter readings are provided in the gallery below.

Five-spoke 18″ alloy wheels feature Ferrari valve-stem caps and wear 225/40 front and 265/40 rear Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires that were installed in April 2015. Ferrari-branded brake calipers are mounted over discs at each corner, and the brake pads were replaced in June 2010 by Wide World Ferrari of Spring Valley, New York.

The cabin features sport seats trimmed in black leather, and matching leather extends to the dashboard, center console, and door panel inserts. Equipment includes air conditioning, a factory stereo, power accessories, drilled aluminum pedals, and a gated manual shifter. Service records indicate repairs to the leather on the bolsters of both seats in June 2010.

The leather-wrapped airbag steering wheel features perforated grips and frames a 200-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an 8,500-rpm redline, and gauges for oil pressure and coolant temperature. An analog clock and gauges for oil temperature and fuel level are located in the center stack. The six-digit odometer shows 33k miles, approximately 1,200 of which have been added by the selling dealer. The speedometer and tachometer needles appear to rest above their respective stops while the car is off, and total mileage is unknown.

The 3.5-liter DOHC V8 was factory rated at 375 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque. The exhaust manifolds were replaced in August 2008, and a Tubi exhaust system is fitted. Record dated July 2019 indicate an engine-out service was performed, which included replacement or repair of the following components:

Timing belts and tensioners
Water pump
Accessory belts
Pulleys and bolts
Spark plugs
Valve cover gaskets
Two engine mounts
Two transmission mounts
CV joint boots

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle. The clutch components were replaced in March 2009 and the gear oil was changed in July 2019. Additional photos of the underside are provided in the gallery.

The car comes with three key fobs and service records in a red leather folio, and the selling dealer states manufacturer’s literature, a car cover, a factory flat repair kit and tool kit, Ferrari Club of America awards, and assorted memorabilia will also be included.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in California, New York, New Jersey, and Arizona from its earliest entry in March 2002.
