Pricing
The car has been priced according to its uniqueness, its upgrades, and marketplace valuations. This is a top-tier 355 and an excellent example. Most 355s out there have been beaten to near death and have at least some lingering issues. There’s usually something to fix or replace.
This car is a 1995 car, which means it’s the best year for the F355. It is the fastest, and it has the better engine management system (2.7 Motronic). This has value.
The upgrades on this car have value. There aren’t many, if any, 355s out there with a complete clutch job just completed, without shortcuts and with new style components. That has value. Put that on top of a fresh major service. That has value. Moreover, there are very few 1995 cars out there with a valve guides job done (voluntarily by me as preventative maintenance) containing not just some number of guides that failed or some number of valves, but 40 new guides, 40 new valves, and 40 new valve seals, all in upgraded material. The heads were polished and ported, allowing for more air flow which increases engine power, making this car an absolute rocketship and as fast as a 360. A proper valve guides job like this has value. Combine that with the clutch job and the major service, and you have a car that you just won’t find anywhere in the marketplace or anywhere else.
Combine all this with its status as a car requiring no replacement components and a car with every possible “355 issue” imaginable already addressed - and you have a 355 with tremendous value.
If you want one of the best 355 6-speed cars out there, look no further. This car is something to experience!

About the Next Owner
The next owner is a person who knows excellence, desires excellence, and knows the value of excellence. He is someone whose soul is stirred by those 8500 RPMs of 355 glory.

Buy with confidence
I am a highly experienced collector, buyer, and seller of Ferraris for my private use. Having had 14 years experience with this hobby, having owned more than 10 Ferraris, and having helped countless folks with their first Ferraris or beyond, I can assure any potential buyer he will not be disappointed. I go out of my way to purchase the right cars and to keep them right throughout my ownership.
This is not a mystery car from a dealer or from a party that hasn’t owned the car for any significant length of time to know what it is or to make sure everything has been sorted. Mystery cars often present the new owner with various surprises shortly after the car is driven down the road a bit. These surprises can be upsetting and very costly. The car being advertised has been driven and cared for by me alone for the last 10 years, and I’ve always made sure the car functions perfectly. The car is a fully functioning automobile that can be gazed at, driven every day, or both. The new owner could drive this car across the country on day 1. Everything works. No stories, no nonsense.

Conclusion
1. Car is a turn-key and go 100% reliable machine. There is nothing to fix. Everything works as it should.
2. Know what you are buying. This car has been driven regularly, cared for, and maintained by the same person and only that person for 10 years - yours truly. The previous owner is an outstanding individual, was an outstanding owner, and is available as a reference.
3. All known “355 issues” have been addressed. The preventative maintenance and the various upgrades have value.
4. It’s always nice to buy a used car with a full clutch job just completed. Problem is - that possibility is rarely observed.
5. This is one of the “good 355s” - and for good reason. This is not a nightmare car worked on by unqualified people - those are the people who have destroyed 355s. Under my ownership this car has been worked on by arguably the country’s best and most well-known Ferrari-only mechanic. That’s not an exaggeration.
6. There is no stock 355 faster than this one. It is as fast as a 360 and pulls like an animal. And the engine intake sound is ferocious and amazing.
7. This is a complete example without any items missing.
8. I have loved this car as if it were my most prized possession. The joy that it brings to a car enthusiast cannot really be put into words.
9. Major service was just completed. This car will require only routine maintenance for many years to come.
It will be my pleasure to acquaint the next owner with all of this car’s characteristics!

Thank you very much for looking!

well done david. can you give us a hint to the transaction price and market overall.

a well cared for red/tan 95 B is the pinnacle of the 355 in my opinion.
