    Hello everyone! I'm making an initial offering of my beloved 1996 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta 6-speed Manual here on Fchat.
    This F355 was originally owned by Evander Holyfield during the infamous "Bite Fight" with Tyson in 1997. Sorry, ear not included :D
    I've owned this car for over 7 years and spent over $30k bringing it up to speed, but I'm looking at purchasing a new home and selling my Ferrari can help make that happen.
    This car is not a concours example (though it stays covered, garaged and tendered), but is in excellent maintained condition and shows very well.

    Pros
    GTB 6speed
    Honest, knowledgable seller
    Fully documented history
    Well maintained, all records included
    No accidents, clean title
    Tasteful modifications
    Owned by Evander Holyfield during the infamous "Bite Fight" with Tyson :D

    Cons
    No original wheels
    Aftermarket wheels have a few small blemishes
    Aftermarket head unit
    Some minor rock chips on front bumper
    Small chip in black driver door sill
    Dash leather shrinking
    Minor buttress cracks
    Paint bubbling on passenger side mirror base
    Shifter surround starting to sticky
    Shifter ball has scuffs from Hoyfield's Heavyweight Title rings :D
    I can have any/all of these Cons addressed, but it will affect the price.

    Conclusion:
    I've spent over $30k during the past 7 years to make this a great car, it runs fantastic, has new valve guides/headers/exhaust, doesn't leak or overheat, has cold ac, hot heat, and drives straight. The interior is decent but the dash could use new leather soon. The exterior is very nice with no dents or damage, just a few rock chips and small buttress cracks. The tires, brakes and battery are all good. No electrical issues. The engine has all major issues addressed including valve guides, tensioner bearings, headers, ignition, exhaust, and fuel recall. Very solid car and just needs a few more things to make it perfect.

    Pricing
    With Hagerty currently valuing a F355 GTB Manual at:
    Good: $88,200
    Excellent: $98,300
    Concours: $116,500
    .....
    And given it's condition, mileage, upgrades and maintenance
    .....
    I am asking $95,000 OBO

    I was thinking the same thing.

    More people would have success if they followed this.

    Best of luck with the house.

    Of the probably 20,000+ car ads I've looked at over the past 30 years this has got to be in the top 10 of all time. 99.999% of the sellers fail miserably in being able to list out the bare essentials of your car let alone their Ferrari. You can't blame them -- they're lazy and ignorant when it comes to what collectors & buyers are looking for. Most sellers think they are doing a favor to buyers whereas you have gone above & beyond being transparent.

    Mods please make this a sticky. GLWS!

    I'm happy to entertain any serious offers and inquiries via PM. The price is not fixed but I also don't need to sell anymore, so if you're in the ballpark then we can talk :)

    I plan to have the front bumper and mirrors repainted and carbon door sills installed this month also.
