    My 97 355 will be here in the Next couple days and I am so excited. Been following this board for a month now so Im a newbie but wanted to say hello to you guys/gals. Ive posted a few pictures. I was in the market for a very clean one and I think I got lucky to find one in amazing shape with the guidance of a few long time board members. Happy Thanksgiving and looking forward to new friendships....Pictures coming in a day or so...

    Sorry for the delay but here you go.

    I purchased the car from

    Tim Greenshields, Newsletter Editor
    Ferrari Club of America Rocky Mountain Region
    Who cares and restores Ferraris out of Colorado...wow do I love it this car..

    This car has paperwork and records beyond detail Ive taken it on a short drive yesterday very early morning and it sound amazing..

    Guys, Any input on how I add a connection to the current alpine so I may play my iPhone in the car? Also maybe bluetooth? Is that possible..

    If the alpine has a USB, slam dunk, just route a pigtail into the center console. If not, for under $300 you can instal a new BT and iPhone ready alpine.

    Nice car, congratulations.

    Looks good congrats! Now we need some higher quality pictures. :) Especially of the air boxes. Are those aluminum or just painted?

    car was super clean and I maintained the hell out of it when I owned it. It was actually serviced by one of the best Ferrari mechanics in Southern California, Eugenio.

    When I sold it to Tim i think it had around 35K miles, I'm curious to see how many miles are on her now?

    Hello everyone, I bought the 355B from Phil in CA. It was beautiful and he took such good care of it. I took it to another level with paint, Fabspeed headers, a Capristo III muffler, interior work, new windshield, new engine belts, new clutch, new door locks, tinted windows, rebuilt the fuel injectors, recarpeted the trunk area, powder coated the air boxes, new tires, painted the wheels, new Hankook tires (soft!), brakes, suspension bushings, added 3M bra to all the frontal areas, and spent $22k on it and 220 plus hours of labor. Tons of parts and labor with love. I used the Berlinetta to show what my restoration shop can do and it paid off. That website is tgrestorations

    The 355B came to me from Phil with about 35k miles and I sold it to Jonas when it had 37,700 miles. That was over 3 1/2 years. The Capristo III is marvelous. Thanks Jonas for buying it from me. It is one of the best 355B's in north America.
