355 Wanted a F355 Berlinetta

Here is your 1995 Berlinetta Gated. Headers and tubi exhaust. Steel Valve guides and even piston rings. Many more services done. It is due for a major though...

Well F1s didn't show up until the 98 model year so you're good with a 95.

 

Rings? Is it tied to the steel valve guide work? That's a sweet car regardless!

 

I think so. I inquired a while back and the dealer sent me this link. Shows all the records

1995...A very good year.

 

wow! Looks sweet. Depends on the things needed for the major - $5-10K.
I am basing it on some information I have locally in NJ.
I would say of this car maybe on the lower end.

I am sure the far more experienced folks will chime in shortly - their will be some regional differences especially on orly rates, etc.

 

You can safely go 7 years between major services. The belts are rarely in bad shape or close to snapping. It’s the bearings and other things that wear out. Thankfully Hill engineering has produced better than OEM stuff that makes 7 years a non issue.

I spent $16k on my major last year, not including the tubi headers, fabspeed exhaust, new radiators and fans that I bought and had installed during that time. Total spent was $26k.

16k holy Christ How much of that was labor?

 

No way that was a run of the mill major. At that price Maybe a major and while at it replace the valve guides and while the patient is open maybe replace some piston sleeves and rings or what not which seems fairly common place.

 

$135 an hour. There was a lot of while we’re in there stuff done. Not a typical major at all. I had purchased it knowing I was going to do a through service on the car.

No I did not. I inquired as I was interested but ended up buying a different one.

 

I love it, just finished a paint correction last weekend. I still have some TLC to do, but it will keep me busy. Dash leather, interior detail, Axle boots, engine/axle mounts and a major in the end of the year.

Yes, I did it myself this past weekend. 14 hours of washing, clay bar, cut, polish and sealant.

 

NICE WORK!!! What products do you like?

Were those still single stage paint (like my 348)?

Yes, single stage paint. I use Adams Polish for my cars. I have their full product line for almost a decade now.

 

Cool. I'm a menzerna fan, myself. For anything driven regularly, their 3 in 1 can't be beat, IMO.
