Thank you. In that video, the car has OEM headers, OEM CAT's and a custom exhaust (no muffler - see attached). I now have replaced the OEM CAT's with Evoflow High Flow CAT's Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Not to mention that 20 years from now when these are worth a decent amount of money, the number of people who know how to drive stick will be somewhere between 3 and 7.
Considering new cars are still sold with manual transmissions I find it unlikely that most people that own one today or are buying one today will be dead in 20 years.
Yep just hammer down on the gas thats how fast it is. Its also how the owners manual tells you to shift it. So dave isnt just making this up. I have had my car out and about and the younger kids that see it just love that its paddle shift. "Its so cool" they say. They cant be bothered with that clutch and stick shifter
Sticks and paddles are both great fun. The market for these beauties continues to climb and our passionate 355 brethren grows stronger together with the information being shared amongst ourselves as a result of this passion for our beloved model. To me, that in of itself creates a good basis for long term market value growth. That just makes me look good to the wife while I am enjoying my face off 😜
You are such a suck up The 6 speed vs F1 debate is like a couple of twin brothers arguing who's johnson is longer.
Leave it to Canadians to think that having a relationship with an impressionist painting is better than loving a living, breathing girlfriend
I see SwitchCars has another 1995 Red F355GTS for sale at 109k. Is this the same car they have sold multiple times in the past or a newly found car? https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/668123830/overview/ Robb
The Silver F1 from the great lakes area is out of the garage and for sale again. This one has a dubious owner... https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/667943558/overview/ Robb
I'm still shopping for my next car which I have no clue yet what will be. It will be a ragtop for sure. I had bought a 1983 400i Straman but the seller is sending my money back because of some mechanical issues. I'm now looking at C6 corvettes and possibly F355 or 360s. I just called for a 1998 355 F1 spider. Has around 40K miles. Tubi exhaust, red on tan. Everything works like if should owner told me. Has all tools and books. In perfect condition by owners words. F1 shift perfect, top work great, has Tubi. Belts are due and owner knows it. Said car need to be seen to believe. Would this be a good car to buy and at what price? Value or insvestment wise are they worth it. All I want is a fun convertible not to loose too much with. Opinions!
Same car. I almost bought it before going with the car I got from Blackhorse. The records are extensive. It looked like guides and headers, etc have been done. There was a spot near gas cap that the paint had been burned through by a crap detailer. A couple chips out of the targa top is how I identified it. I'm suprised it didn't sell last year. Or, maybe it did and got traded back to the dealer after a year. It seemed like a decent car with a few blemishes. The records showed over 30k in fixes.
Dave Isent you a PM. I don't know why but the email I sent with your website got back to me not working.
Got it. I'm pretty sure that's ASK328 (Andrew's) car that he sold then bought back from Switchcars not too long ago. The photos look exactly like the ones from when they were selling it a year or so ago. Hmm... Not sure as I get emails all day long from that address...? I'll have a look. my email is: dave.lelonek@**********.com Thank you. EDIT - just tested our sales email from the website and it's working fine...
Pricing is subjective but IMO, that car in "perfect condition", i.e. needing nothing with all known issues addressed and a current (like within 1 year) major is a 65 -$70K example. I just spent $1300 on tires and alignment for example, so there are many factors to consider to qualify for "perfect" condition. Good luck in your search.
I was obviously using sarcasm but the fact remains that in the U.S., the percentage of new cars sold with manual transmissions is in the single digits and most exotic car manufacturers stopped producing them due to lack of demand. What that says about future collectibility of cars like the F355 vs 355F1 is anyone's guess, but if people wanted them as much as everyone seems to think, companies like Ferrari would still be making them.
