    If that were a 95 with a title, you'd have an offer from me. Either way, awesome car.

    Thanks for the heads up Dave.

    I have the sister car 4646...96 euros challenge had 95 configuration of the 2.7 ecu and the rest of the air intake etc.

    Co-incidentally Universal had my car in for service and I bought it shortly afterwards; these guys have done a hell of a job and the car is running very strong 2 years later.

    Oh - and it did have a title too :)

    Let's kick that issue around some more...it's not such much "Does it have one" as it should be phrased "CAN it get one?" as State Law vary.

    More accurately what is the VIN?

    As with some States you can go thru a process (with local authorities) to confirm the VIN. then with that piece of paper, you take your Bill of Sale and go down to the State Title Division, then with new State title in hand, you buy your license from the County.

    There's so much grey area between those three buildings, I suspect one might get lucky.

    There's a process for putting dune buggys and kit cars on to the road, so you could say:
    "I built this in my backyard, it's a Ferrari Kit Car"...and the clerk would nod and take your check...."Next in Line!"

    OP can you speak to that?

    FoH would know, too..

    They told me a 360 Challenge would not be enjoyable on the street, because of the clutch.

    A 355CH is not very streetable.....clutch(can be replaced with street version)...the springs are pretty stiff esp. up front.....solid suspension bushings will cause you to launch your dentures....no sound proofing and believe me you will hear everything....no a/c and you will fry if down south....no parking brake....no headlights or fog lights...and racing seats will take some getting used too....OH!! and those dang brakes will squeal like a stuck pig.

    A thing I noticed about this CH is it does not have the correct heatshield at the rear

    Let's see...if you have a Vin you can get a title...

    The F355 ch is borderline street able. I run it as it is on Massachusetts streets with no big issues. I have picked up the odd nail because of the semi-race tires that are on the car.

    Looking at the fiorano lap times the 355 ch lap time is pretty close to Ferrari's offerings from 2012-2014 so the car feels fun and fast.

    The clutch can be a pita in traffic.

    If I had the space this would be on a truck on the way to Cali right now. Let's see if it's still around when the new garage is done ;-)

    +355 Ch. I have a 95 Challenge and agree that it is streetable. Just be careful with proximity of roll cage to your head.

    Unfortunately no title..but we drive them plenty with a dealer plate..way more steetable then a 360c IMO...and we have driven every challenge car made (348c-458c) extensively on the street...355c is by far the most streetable.

    We have an accepted offer today and we will keep you posted of the completion of sale. Thanks for interest and supporting posts...we live and breathe for these cars!
