    Actually that is the only one that came with the black dashboard
    Mine originally came with a white dashboard but his wife said the glare from the sun was so bad she did not want to drive it. Car had some other engine issues that was traced to incorrect cyl heads so car went back to Ferrari in Modena for a "reworking" of the engine and a black dash board.
    Cool fact I got from Tom. :)

    If you’re looking at something soon let me know. I could slide it in on my bond before it has to re-up. I’ve also got a great customs broker and airline contact to get it here (depending on how you plan to transport whatever it is).

    My private opinion It will be a no sale in Germany, unfortunately. The car is very nice, but very special, too. But mintclassics is mint and very special, we will see…

    I’m confused.

    What will be no sale?

    What did you mean by, “no way Japanese car” ?

    Some people here are value guys or collectors. They'll say the more rare car (white). Color is subjective. White on white looks horrendous to me, like a cartel car. Some love it I'm sure

    The white one is awesome. I feel its natural home is Miami.

    The green with tobacco leather would be my pick but it isn't a '95. :(

    Agreed. Would love the white one. Would have to change from denim to linen so I didn't ruin the seats

    355's look terrible in white. All cars look terrible in white. The only vehicle that should be painted white is an ice cream truck. White is boring.

    Last white Berlinetta on BaT hammered under my expectations. I think green still has the edge when it comes to collectability at this stage.

    White is so rare and this steering wheel/carpet combo is pretty enticing. I think it goes to a collector and hopefully someone on here buys it [emoji2956]

    Verde probably appeals to more people and bigger pool of buyers, but I still think the white is better.

    Fair point. But in the case of 355’s, this is more representative of a white horse/unicorn in a sea of colored (and beautiful) horses. Doesn’t take away from the other 355’s. White represents purity.

    Gives me retro 80’s vibe. Clean and cold like a Countach. There is artistic appeal.

    Yeah white can look like poop if not done correctly but done right its insane
    That Lambo a neighbor had and was the wildest looking car I ever seen in all white, just stunnning to see on the street

    355 Challenge, all white, black roll cage red challenge seats and white challenge wheels with the big brembo's peaking out.
    On a car with a nice history story behind it. 1 of 1 I don't think I have many choices and the Mother Company thinks so also so have to listen to Mom :)
