What do you think this 355 GTB is worth?

I'd buy it....tend to the major and the mechanics....gut the interior, put it on an extreme diet (a/c toss, smog gonzo, heat bye bye etc etc), forget the cosmetics, and track the sh** out of it!

 

I wouldn't pay more than 30K for it, Less would be better.

 

Would they? The pictures seem to show the flaws pretty obviously.

Funny, I just picked up a warmed over 951 (with limited slip) as a DD/autox/track car, though I still plan to get the Ferrari out a couple of times this year.

 

951....seriously underrated!!! and an absolute blast on the track......perfect 50/50.weight dist......enjoy it!!!

 

I'm more in line with this thinking except I wouldn't pass.

 

Remember this and it applies to Ferraris that sell cheap and cost tons to fix up.
"You cant polish a turd"

 

Brave.

I love 355s, but I would rather drive it then have to do more than just regularly service the thing. This car really does scream 'need'.

 

Sure you can, but you just end up with a shiny POS.

 

I looked at this car I can tell you that they won't budge on the price. The owner, Jason became aggravated when I merely suggested that I was thinking about making an offer of 45K. He said the price is firm and he almost didm"t let me test drive it after that. I did drive it however. The engine sounded really good. It pulled strong, but felt like it was fish tailing a bit when I went on and off the gas. Possible worn suspension components. It is beaten up though. I called the owner of the car and he won't go down one dollar. I hope he sees what people think of his car, and the money people think it's worth. I would have over paid big time. Don't waste your time. These guys are in their own world.

 

When a woman says "I'm soooo underpaid" translation: "You're picking up the $300 dinner tab"

When a seller says "Price is firm" translation: "I'm an unrealistic seller/overpaid for the car and am looking for a sucker or impulse buyer"

 

They are in for a rude awakening.....

 

Yeah, consensus is $25-30k, and I'm not what I'd consider a price pessimist. As I said, I think they could get $10k more than that if they spend a grand and some effort to clean up the glaring faults, but no way they get the ask unless they find a real sucker.

 

Someone will not research it properly and pay it, guaranteed. That just means they're in for a rude awakening as a buyer. Or this could simply be the beginning of 355s being purchased by people who have no business buying a 355, making for a number of future rogues.

 

While I agree a sucker is born every day, no one is that stupid. A quick search of the net will show comparable cars in better condition for the same money. They are dreaming. I'll be shocked if they get $30k

 

Here is one for the same price, no concours winner but not a train wreck...

2 second search to find.....

The muffler looks wrong

Add for:

Major
Interior
Tires

Clutch

With 38k miles pristine would be worth $49k, will need $30k, tells me the buy number is $20k tops

 

The muffler I think could be a Bell exhaust as they often use tips like those

 

This car is no longer on their website so it's either sold or who knows what. Anyone here buy it?

 

I am thinking the word "Major" was attached to the word disaster and not service.
If it looks that bad on what you can see from a walk around, I dont think I want to guess what you cant see is ... any better.
It is sad ..... I dont have the DIY skills, and would be confused for months just figuring where to start.

 

My guess is the owner is lurking and pulled the car from the market.
