    Does anyone for 100% sure know anyone with a 94 355 or have info on one?? A VIN maybe. All the 1994 cars in the registry where not 94's but 95's from what I am told. I know there were very few made for 1994, but am trying to sequence a set of VIN values for that year, but can't find any good info on any...Where they all destroyed?? Converted back to 348's?? <that is a horrible thought!!!:D

    I saw one or two 1994 355's for sale here in Australia around 2 years ago. Cheap too. Red/tan by memory. They may have been the same car. They did make a few of them. I dont have the VINS sorry. They would probably still be out there somewhere. :):)

    Silverstone Race School (UK) has x6 355's (only 1 is a 5.2) and I am sure a couple of them are 94's, I'll see what I can find out next time I am there.

    Silverstone definately have x2 94's, one is presently deceased and may be used for spares. I'll try to get the VIN's.

    I saw pictures of one and noticed that a 94 355 doesn't have airbags. I read this somewhere later so that's one tell tale when looking I guess.

    I'm not sure that is completely accurate. I think 95 euro cars are sans airbags. At least the one I looked at in VA was...

    IF I'm right I think all 94's are going to be euro cars don't think they came to US till 95. If this helps.

    That may be one way, except i think that some non-us 355's were built with out airbags so that may not be the only indicator. However, I did notice a RHD 355 that did not have airbags had a unique wheel (did not look like the same steering wheel as the 348/mondial t).

    A couple of years back, I ran into a guy with what looked like a 355, except I noticed that the steering wheel was a 348 style and I found that weird. The car was yellow, and it definately was not a 348 with 355 parts as the quarters had the tall lip and the deck lid was the 355 decklid (unless they had that much body work done on it) The rest of the interior appeared to be stock 355, but that steering wheel stuck out like a sore thumb to me. I wonder if maybe that may have been a '94?
