Vehicle description
I"m the fourth owner as determined by invoice records which I have a binder going back from day 1). Since my ownership in 2016 I have added over 3k miles. All trouble-free with everything working perfectly- heat/ice cold air/convertible top/no breakdown/all electrical never failed, not even a single fuse! Odometer now reads 27.1k miles.
This 1997 F355 Spider is a 6-speed manual. Rosso Corsa (original paint) and Tan interior. Also rare is this car being completely original except for a Tubi Exhaust.
Fresh engine out completed in February 2021 by renowned shop Classic Coach in NJ, with service fully documented in digital images. The car drives with no CELs and does not have/need any by-pass remedies which other F355s may have especially if fitted with after-market headers, cats, and other go-fast but non-Ferrari parts.
Highlights
• Includes all service receipts since car was purchased in 1997
• Full engine service (engine out) in Feb 2021 by Classic Coach (one of the top specialist Ferrari shops in the country) which documented all their work in digital pictures and will be given to new owner. Some pics on this post (on lift, wheels off, A/C recharge and CV pics)
• New timing belts, replaced water pump housing, coolant hoses, new hydraulic tensioners, new parking brake shoes, new fuel filter
• Driveshaft CV axles completely disassembled, clean, lubricated with new boots
• Catalytic converters replaced with used, low mile originals (from ’99 model year)
• New Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires (4). Installed few months ago; less than 400mi usage
• Sticky switches resolved by previous owner, plus my own efforts guided by posts
• Title on hand. Carfax shows no issues.
Performance/Maintenance
Everything works on the car. Normal idling, smooth acceleration, no smoking or strange noises, cold A/C and hot heater climate control although air directed to front and window vents only as the electric switch not operating to toggle to floor/foot area. The Spyder top mechanically sound, but sometimes interrupted (single beep noise) during operation possibly caused by a faulty switch but which resumes with switch re-engagement.
Engine out major work done in Feb 2021 by Classic Coach in NJ where they also tackled other projects per above outline. Prior major by previous owner was completed in 2016 by Wide World Ferrari in NY. Each year of my ownership between 2016 and 2021 I performed my own annual oil changes and brake fluid flushes bi-annually. This car has driven flawlessly over my years of ownership with no breakdown or slow down or other OBD issues except for intermittent CELs now resolved by replacing the Catalytic converters (both L & R) with low mileage ones from a ’99 model year 355. NJ emissions inspected and passed after service which should be last since this state no longer requires after 25yrs.
Rims have some cosmetic marks. Also the usual chips on the front bumper as the paint is 100% original. I can send higher resolution pics if you PM me directly with your email.
Additional Items
• 2 engine keys and fobs. Only 1 being original, other is duplicate
• Leather bag with complete tools and belt from factory
• Tire sealant can with bag (useless but good to show)
• Ferrari Factory car cover (red of course) with original factory bag
• Full set of owner manuals with leather pouch & Original F355 sales brochure with lots of detailed info and gorgeous pics of this (soon to be) classic!
• Binder with ALL SERVICE RECORDS since 1997
