This is an impressively beautiful 1996 F355 Berlinetta, Black with Tabacco leather, 21,700 miles. It has a rebuilt salvage title, which began in 1997, when rock & roll musician (I was told it was Joey Kramer of Aerosmith) bought it and wrecked it. The insurance company just wrote it off as salvage so he could go buy a new car, but the damage wasn't severe. No frame damage. No mechanical damage. All superficial. Then, a Rolex Sports Car Series race driver bought it and it was rebuilt and restored completely by him and his crew, WITH ALL FERRARI PARTS. He even replaced the long block, so there are no more issues with valve guides or exhaust manifolds, inherent in the earliest models. I bought it 5 years ago, because I thought it was a great opportunity to fulfill my dream of having a true exotic high-performance Ferrari, at fraction of the cost of a garage queen/collector car. And WOW, I got all and more of what I had hoped for. I've had it inspected by two different Ferrari dealers to search for any signs of residual accident damage, but neither could find any issues whatsoever. Neither dealers' service departments could even find where the original damage was! I had the 30K mile service done in 2007, but aside from that it's been absolutely trouble free. Change the oil once a year and enjoy it the rest. More reliable than a Honda, yet the technology of this car still surpasses the best family cars and sport sedans of today. Even the clock keeps near perfect time and the A/C blows COLD. It drives and runs perfectly. It has the power, handling and sound which should be expected in a Ferrari. With the power steering, it's easy to drive on the streets and on the track. When it revs near the 8500 rpm red line, it's sound is intoxicating and musical. It's a truly exciting and beautiful car, with only the slightest of small imperfections to the finish, which are almost imperceptible. A thrill and a pleasure to drive, and a fantastic bargain for someone who wants to own a Ferrari to DRIVE, instead of just COLLECT. It's not a garage queen, but a great car for the enjoyment of driving and owning a Ferrari and experiencing it's real talents and pedigree on track day....just like it was designed and built to do. This is your opportunity to own the quintessential Ferrari experience, for not just an unbelievably low price, but at a price which may never decrease. Any questions?
