    Yup that's the same car. First pic is when it was at Exoticars Pittsburgh last year.. second pic is from Motorcar Classic Corp a few months ago. I have some pics of it from a few years ago when Steve/Sean Harris had it at their place, but those are on my home computer I think. Will post them up if I can find them. The only other one I've seen is this euro 355b:

    Great looking color, reminds me of Grigio Alloy (only with more bias towards blue, obviously)

    Pretty sure that's a completely custom color. A lot of challenge cars are some painted in some off the wall colors...

    here's more pics of that same Monaco Blue 355b..

    That color is AWESOME! It'll be PERFECT if I find a GTS 6 speed in that color! But....I'd probably take that car in the picture in an instant if it was for sale.

    Funny to see that picture, it must be from about 5 years ago. When we had that car in stock it was a tough sell and I ended up trading it to Continental for a 456! I personally liked it, but not many buyers seemed to want it at the time.

    I guess I'm 5 years too late! Man! Been trying to find a 355 for about a month now.....getting pretty frustrated. Just left Ferrari of Orange county, they had a Green/Tobacco 355 GTS....the green was just a little too...GREEEEEN. didn't look good. Saw an Orange Enzo though, that was neat. I'm about to give up on my search....ARRGGHH!!!

    I was actually eyeing that car as well at FoSCal. Too green huh? I was wondering how it would look but was thinking that it may be "classy" in that color combo. Definitely not a 355 that you would see on the same corner as another one...glad I decided not to pursue it.

    Well, I do like green, just not that shade...If you've ever seen Brooklands Green on the Acura NSX, that's the green I like, a little softer on the eye. On the otherhand, this Green 355 is a great price though! $75,000.00 for a GTS.

    Actually that Monaco Blue 355b was just sold at a dealership in NY a few months ago. It sat there for a while too... I'm sure it'll pop back up for sale again eventually :) Looks like this is the non-red/yellow/black F355 crowd. I've been patiently waiting on the sidelines for about a year now, watching the titanium/blue/green cars come and go while I stash away cash in order to buy. Hopefully some of them will still be around when I'm ready........

    Have you seen this green 355b? Great price, and I really like the color combo. http://www.carsauto.com/detail.cfm?ID=15235 The same dealership sat on this car for what seemed like forever about a year ago.. finally sold it, and now it's back again. It's been there for a good 3 months so far and has gone through a few price reductions. Not sure if that's because there's something wrong with it or just because it's green.. I personally love it. The pics don't look that good due to the use of a flash on the camera, but there are a few shots where you can really see the color.

    I'm sure that it's just been sitting there because green is a difficult color to sell. Just like the Green GTS at ferrari of orange county. Although this one looks to be a lighter shade of green with a light tan interior. Any idea what the green is called?

    The green 355F1 berlinetta is Verde Silverstone. Here's a 95 green/tan 355GTS that sold in NY a few months ago.

    I recal the pic, but I'm positive its verde mugello. Verde silverstone is very dark.
