    Nothing more scary than a 355F1 priced at 348 levels. The problem with beater 355's is that you can't even make racecars out of them because the elephant in the room is always the heads. Is this a $35k car with a $30K to do list just for the engine?

    Can never get smog legal for street.

    Fits in no race class in SCCA or NASA without Ferrari motor.

    So Useless except for the one guy who wants a bigblock track toy.

    There is a $50k twin turbo 355C and it has been for sale for about 1 year. That goes to show how tough the market is.

    The listing is a scam as previously mentioned. The VIN doesn't match the car listed.

    That's not the market. It's someone trying to take advantage of someone else.

    Actually that is the low end of the market. It accurately reflects the 355 that needs heads off. You add in a shrunken dash and some stickies and voila $35k. There is a 355C with $100k invested in the conversion and the owner hasn't sold it at $50k! Its a good car! I know 355 owners are very sensitive to price and think of their cars as 60's 12 cylinder Ferraris in the making but we are not there yet. It is just the way it is, this alleged scam not withstanding.

    $35k is not really the low end of the market unless the car is pure garbage. High mile cars in good condition are mid forties and those are also not that common.

    LOL. I said goodbye today to my '95 F355 GTS (51,633 miles) for FAR in excess of your proclamation.

    There's what YOU think and then there is the market reality. For those who know better, what matters is a well sorted car with strong compression and leak down.

    Congrats!! Doesn't surprise me. I wouldn't take anywhere near mid forties for my fully sorted
    95 GTB with almost 50k on the clock, but then again I'm not selling anytime soon.

    You buying another Ferrari?
