Ferrari 355 Spider 1998 6 Speed I honestly believe that this has to be one of the best 355 Ferrari for sale at the moment, quite a statement.... but just take a look.......almost the last of the line a 1998 Spider finished in stunning NART Blue 253 with dark blue top and tan interior, it has the much more desirable 6 speed manual transmission with the signature Ferrari shift gate and it has covered only 9,122 miles from new. When the 355 first appeared, nearly all cars were ordered with the F1 transmission, pretty much a revolutionary system developed by Ferrari from its F1 program, well the years have moved on and that system is really quite antiquated by todays standards, its also costly to repair, the 6 speed is not only rare its a joy to drive and instantaneously responsive. Carfax & History The super clean Carfax report details four owners from new, but one is simply a dealer who transferred the title and held the 355 for only one month, there are no faults or damage recorded and it lists this car as a + on the pricing guide. As for servicing there are several records but of most importantly it documents a full Cam Belt service including engine oil, gearbox oil, plugs, brake fluid, coolant and all accessory belts in January of 2012 at 8,213 miles by official Ferrari dealer Lake Forest Sports Cars. Quite recently the roof has been overhauled and serviced by a local specialist to the tune of close to $6000:00 Exterior The exterior is as close to flawless as you could find, I have found only a few chips on the whole car, panel fit is perfect, the soft top looks like new, windows and lights are clear and bright and the doors clunk shut effortlessly. All door furniture is in excellent shape, plating is as new and resplendent in its original Cad/ Zinc plating Interior The leather is lovely and fitting of its super low miles, seats are supple and soft, The only leather flaw is to the bolster on the left of the drivers seat, it has some minimal color wear on just a tiny patch, carpets are excellent, the dashboard is perfect throughout with no lifting at the corners. The Air Bag cover is slightly rippled as can be seen in the pictures and the plastic surfaces of the switches have some lifting but no serious "sticky" areas as is typical of the 348 and 355 models. Motor & Drivetrain As you would expect the motor starts and runs flawlessly, gears are engaged with ease and there are no road dramas whatsoever, brakes pull up effortlessly. I would consider this car of collector standard, coupled with its unique color scheme, low miles and most importantly the 6 Speed Manual gearbox, with prices rising of the 355 models this particular car has to be at the forefront of values. The soft top boot, tool kit and a car cover are included, the original books are not with the car. The usual stuff I am a licensed California Car Dealer, and therefore must collect all applicable California sales and use taxes due to buyers in California, if you are an out of state buyer the only way to avoid these taxes is to have the vehicle transported to your home state by a bonded carrier which we can arrange. Payment is due in full within seven days of auctions end. Any reasonable inspection is welcome before auctions end at buyers expense. You are welcome to call me on 925 789 9825 at any reasonable time Please note, this is not a computer game your bid is a binding contract.  |

Video proof that LaFerrari has a pure electric mode
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Typically, a hybrid car, with its gas engine and an electric motor/battery pack is able to run on both forms of propulsion independently of each other. That means you can sip gas, run on pure electricity or some variation there of. The Ferrari LaFerrari is not like other hybrids.
See, the successor to the Enzo has batteries, an electric motor and a great, thumping V12 engine, but unlike its rivals from McLaren and Porsche, it has no standalone electric mode. That's been Ferrari's party line since day one. But have the Italians been exaggerating a bit? Judging by this video, it seems like a real possibility.
The video comes from what we're guessing is a European track day. It shows a black LaFerrari stealthily sailing through a tunnel on pure electric power, which it shouldn't be able to do, before its 789-horsepower V12 fires to life.
Ferrari 250 GTO could fetch as much as $75 million at auction
Wed, 13 Aug 2014Last month we reported on a Ferrari 250 GTO heading for the auction block at Pebble Beach. We knew at the time it would break records and bring in tens of millions of dollars. But now that the gavel is about to drop, it looks like even our projections could fall short.
According to a report on Bloomberg, citing the classic car authorities at Hagerty Insurance, the GTO in question (pictured above) could fetch upwards of $60 million and as much as $75 million when the auction takes place two days from now in Monterey, CA.
Hagerty's reported estimate would not only blow the previous records out of the water, but would eclipse the pre-sale estimate attributed to Bonhams, the auction house handling its sale, which placed its value between $30 million and $40 million.
Ferrari 458 Speciale Spider will make Paris debut
Wed, 17 Sep 2014The news out of Ferrari is coming nearly as fast as its wonderful sports cars, as of late, with CEO Luca di Montezemolo stepping down and a special model for America upcoming. Now, it's looking increasingly likely that the 458 Speciale Spider is making its world debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show in early October, confirming earlier rumors.
Di Montezemolo had already confirmed that the Prancing Horse would unveil a new car in Paris, but exactly which model it would be had been a mystery. However, an unnamed Ferrari insider has recently confirmed to 4WheelNews that it would be the droptop Speciale.
As the name suggests, the special model takes the sonorous 4.5-liter V8 engine from the 458 Speciale with 597 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque and drops it into the convertible hardtop from the Spider. According to the source, the special Ferrari is also getting new wheels, stripes and seats, but the folding top might mean losing the coupe's transparent engine cover.
