    Offered here is an excellent example of the Iconic F355 Ferrari. This is the GTS - Targa car. Originally a U.S car, it is now in Canada but can easily be imported back to the U.S without issue. This car comes with extensive servicing. The current mileage is 18730 miles with the last major service completed at 16180 miles.
    Radiators were done, as well as sport headers, sport cats to compliment the Tubi exhaust. New tires were installed then also. All sticky parts were refurbished or replaced.

    This is a very good example and should be driven far more than it is now. I can assist in shipping arrangements however I don't know how much it will cost so please don't ask.

    Being sold as a private sale in Calgary.

    $160,000 CDN.

    Jeff -

    Clearly it's your car but if it were mine, I'd have it car professionally detailed (including engine compartment), have a leather guy clean the seats and repair driver side left bolster wear, take lots of pics, gather all service docs, then list on BaT. Gated 355 GTS cars have been hot on there as of late. If you're a friendly, responsive, honest seller, the car should do well on a BaT auction. Either way, GLWS!

    GREAT car. I agree with above.

    A few more bits of info that will be very useful to potential buyers:

    1. Last major was 2,550 miles ago but how long ago? What date and by whom?

    2. Are the valve guides stock?

    3. Any paintwork done?

    I recently got killed on mine. 100% need as many service records as possible, especially recent major. Need to clean the crap out of interior, exterior and engine bay. Need professional photos.

    Let’s leave any pricing opinions / discussion out of the thread. That can be discussed in the 355 section any time.

    Any other questions are fair game. Thanks.

    Hi Gents, the car will be cleaned and detailed. I am here in Canada and just got it in the Bay (before blizzard) and thought I would post it exclusively here while I get it sorted. I can email the receipts to any serious inquiries. Will update pics.

    I think these (manual gts) will be among the most collectible road f-cars from the 90s in 15 years - glws!

    Agreed, although I don't think it will even take 15 years. Considering they are already over 20 years now. Time flies!

    Interesting! With milage that low, the seat bolster still shows wear.

    Seat bolsters are not mileage dependant. It depends on how many times someone got in and out the car. A car driven 20 miles 1x per month can have more wear than one driven 5 miles per week.

    A car with delivery miles can have wear if the owner and friends wanted to sit in it thousands of times.

    yep
    Not to mention a car that sat in a showroom, along with a wobbly door.
    But to my eyes given the mieage of this car seat bolster wear doesnt look bad, I'm just assuming it was many relatively short trips, which would raise the question of warmup cycles. Id be more worried about a compession test than some bolster wear.

    Its the headers and stickies done, no word on valve guides. Looks like a really nice car and the one to have.

    With the exception of recovered seats I feel like the vast majority of 355s have bolster wear even 10-15k mile cars.

    That’s due to the intensity of the 355 driving experience :).
