1995 F355 GTS: Restoration and Major Service

I think you missed some dirt on the tires.

 

Beautiful!!

 

Sure is!

 

This work and attention to detail is simply stunning. We would be fast friends if you were in San Francisco. Thankfully for my wallet, you’re not. Please continue sharing all that you’re doing to your beautiful car.

 

The P Zero heat transfer is just amazing! Of course everything you do is amazing Elliott!

 

I have seen many people working on Ferraris, but never someone so meticulous and professional.
complimenti !!!

Definitely a relic of the 90’s. Don’t come across photos of them these days. Started paying attention to it after you mentioned it. I did find one pic of a 355 in a Japanese magazine, which most likely was captured during that period.

 

Very neat job on the P Zero! My previous F355 GTS still had those as well.

 

-1 point.....

 

OMG.
Is a negative overall score even possible?

Hi Elliott
I am surprised you went with copper plated nuts on the bar buffer since that part is not subject to heat cycles like you find on a manifold. Did the nuts have integrated (non-nylon) locking or did you just use locking washers underneath? The original nuts are probably nylon-lock stainless, right?

 

So the Pzeros came factory on U.S cars? Must be a late model change. I’m seeing Bridgestones on window stickers.

 

I don't have a photo of the door sticker so not sure, but the car had them at the time.

I don't think my 95 had Pzero's, I will check.

My 99-

Hello @MAD828/Elliott – I just have to take a minute to send this note.

I am a fellow 1995 F355 GTS owner and I have watched this incredible thread with amazement, admiration, interest, curiosity, MASS respect and I must admit envy. I have been on FChat a while (certainly not as long as many but since 2011 so a while) and have to tell you that this by far is the most articulate, educational and interesting thread I have ever seen/watched. Certainly the ones with Jim Glickenhaus and the P3/P4 and Competizione were fascinating but yours hits closer to my heart for obvious reasons. I love, enjoy and meticulously take care of my 355 but you take this to another level.

The incredible level of meticulous detail you have put in to your gorgeous car and documented should amaze even non-Ferrari enthusiasts and even non-car enthusiasts for that matter. Obviously, being a 355 owner and Ferrari fanatic it has even more meaning and interest to me but I would argue that your journey can stand up to and blow away any car documentaries I have seen on Netflix, Discovery, Motor Trend etc. If I had the contacts or means I would push for your journey to be made into a feature such as the excellent Ferrari 312B: Where the Revolution Begins feature – yours is no less mesmerizing and would speak to a wider audience IMHO.

Not only is your information, articulation and documentation incredible, but the exchanges of dialog and information between you and the various other experts on here such as INTMD8, ShineKen, 308 GTB, and many others is not only fascinating but inspirational and educational.

I have stayed fairly quiet since at the levels you and other are operating at my input would just be annoying but just have to take the time to say THANK YOU!

Cheers

 

Here’s a 95 car sticker.

Your 99 manual GTS with contrast stitching would be a $300k car on BAT.
