Looking for a Berlinetta

Man, you aren't asking too much!

This was my search target as well and I found a nice 348 before one of these came along - and that's after 1 year. Good luck dude, but wouldn't you really want a 348 Serie Speciale or Challenge instead?! Be a man and join the elite of the brotherhood!

 

YA!

The I'll send you the pic of the F R O G

 

If this is what you want---don't look at anything less than a 98 or 99---what kind of mileage do you mind??

 

Only a '98 or '99? Good luck finding a proper 6-speed then! I think any well-looked after car is fine - with 1995's running a bit stronger that some of the later ones.

I came into my purchase looking for the most pure 355 I could find. After 8 months, I realized that I was wasting time and if I just pulled the trigger, it would be more fun. Also, I bought a car that wasn't absolutely pristine so I wouldn't feel bad when it got its first rock chips from actually DRIVING it.

 

He wants a car with steel valve guides---A pre 98 car will not cut it....Unless he finds an early one with the guides replaced already. Proper 6 speed?? There were more 6 speed cars during 98 and 99 produced than F1 ...

 

So how rare is a '99 F1 Berlinetta? Do you have stats on how many are produced?

 

yes I do

 

I'd like a BLACK one!!!

 

NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess Oz has a friend!!!

 

Chris' would be the best low mileage one.

He never drives it!

 

I think Chris's 348 has negative miles !!

 

I wouldn't say many---I would say some....

 

Red/tan 355B at Sport Auto right now:

Black is it!! Everything else is just primer.

 

It is just me or does $79,900 for a 1997 F355B with 31K miles sound high?

 

No it's not too much to ask. Cars like that are out there but it's just getting more difficult to find and come by.

I found mine, an US rosso corsa/tan '99 Berlinetta fitting all your requirements except it's a F1 with original headers, last December. PPI yields 245psi and perfect in & out with 4.9K miles.

Are you sure you only want a 6-speed? Have you tried F1? It's a blast to drive with the paddle shifts once you've got to know how to use them. No, Im' not selling mine. Just want to make sure that you really don't want an F1 car.

Be patient. You'll find your car. It's out there. Good luck.

 

You might not be but Chris is.

That's why he never drives his!

 

yes it is a little high, but dealer prices generally are - remember that is the asking price--not the sale price..

 

+1

I think they've had that car for a bit, probably because the price is a tad high, but also because it's not a convertible or targa.

I bought my 328 there. If you're serious about wanting a 355B, give Steve or Darrell a call and talk it over. It's a red/tan, 6-speed 355B just sitting there in inventory.

FChat'er BrianC in North Carolina just sold his red/tan 355B to some guy in New York. You just missed a great one there. I was in his car - top notch.
