    If he did go to wider wheels I think that would greatly improve the looks of a 355. I'm not feeling those seats though. Its a beautiful car for sure but over 89K ?

    No doubt the owner spent money to maintain and upgrade it. He's reflecting that on the asking price. Regarding the market for F355 Spiders and 355 F1 Spiders, it's too high imho, at least from where I'm sitting. Equally beautiful and properly maintained cars are on sale for considerably less.

    Kind regards,

    Nuno.

    Yes,

    That seller (who shall not be named) also has a a famous Le Mans blue spider for sale...

    I actually called this seller (who shall not be named) not knowingly on a silver 355 spider during the search for my brother's car. Once it was apparent "who" I had run into, I exited the phone call as quickly and gracefully as possible. Beverly Hills address is the giveaway...

    Classic! I'm not sure sport seats "work" in a spider...

    Those seats are fugazzi. They certainly are the factory sport seats. They sit up about 12" too high. Also, why does he chrome the front grills on all of his cars?

    The problem with those seats is that when they reupholstered them, they covered up the shoulder harness holes. Now the top looks a bit "gumby" like...

    Let this be a good example of not covering up the harness holes, or using in a spider. Reminds me of the 550 Barchetta hoops... Worst part of that car. I'm sure many will disagree with me.

    The painted engine bits are cheeeeszzzyyyyyy! The challenge grill looks wavey near the bottom. Like someone pushed on it and bent it.

    I like seeing high-priced 355s...

    Not sure what the story is about this one but the deals on these cars from 2-3 years ago seem gone. You could easily find a 355 in decent shape for 50k, not anymore it seems.

    Everyone said the same about his last similarly priced F355, but it did sell.

    Yes. Different tastes.

    No harm no foul. All 355's are cool.

    I wonder if he has all the original parts? I wonder what the demand is for 355's that are modified like this one. His A/C must work 1000 times better than mine if he needs heated seats...
