Gotta be a scam right? Yet another "Do you know this car?" thread...

Clearly a 95 engine. Something (or several things) don't match up here.

 

Looks almost like different wheels completely (not just painted) between the two sets of pictures. The pictures could easily be from two different times. The VIN sequence does track with a January 97 build. The 2.7 engine is obviously a big WTF though. I guess it would be possible to swap a 2.7 engine and ECU in. Lots of questions and yellow flags but the listing has an address where the car is located.

 

Stolen? What's up with the stick-on VIN and no rivets? I would stay far away from this car. There is no description about the engine/ year discrepancy. Wondering if anyone is missing a 355? Hmmmmmm. "Someting verrrry fisssshy going on here."

 

Converted challenge car?

 

That car is a 1995 through and through. 2 fuel filters, 2 separate ecu's located in the engine compartment, it does have the later power steering bottle, vin plate is not riveted, would love to have a look at the chassis stampings. Fishy fishy fishy..

 

Nothing in the registry.

Ferrari 355 Registry - Enter VIN

 

That would explain the 2.7, but not the rest of that fishy smell!

 

+1 ... too weird ...... looks like a real 95 ........ however that VIN tag is terrible, the ink is rubbing off it too, right under the fingerprint

 

it is not fishy,
just has a 1997 door replacement, I guaranteed they don't even know it's a 1995 that's all

 

Those plates are not mounted on the door. They are riveted to the pillar in between the door hinges. Inorder to rivet the plate, the door needs to be removed.

 

The VIN plate defiantly isn't stock. Could it be some sort of fraud and the seller doesn't even realize the car is a 95?
I guess anything is possible.
