    Hello,

    I am in the market for a clean, well maintained F355 Berlinetta, Red with Tan interior and a gated manual transmission. I am open to all years, but needs to be a nice clean example. Looking for something with a condition of 8+/10 on both interior and exterior. This car is for me personally. I am not a broker or dealer. This has been a dream car of mine for a long time and I am finally ready to pull the trigger. I would prefer to deal directly with an honest seller/enthusiast vs. a dealer so I am able to get as much information about the history of the car as possible, as well as carry on any stories of the car's previous owner(s). This will be something that will be passed down to my daughter as I do not plan to ever sell it. If you are considering selling such a car, it would be in good hands and going to be a good home. My budget is very reasonable and will pay appropriately for the right car. I will of course want to see records and have a PPI done prior to purchase once all other bases are covered. I am located in Southern California and will travel where needed to see the right car. Thank you in advance.
    -Chris

    Not doable. You would need to run Montana plates.

    Sometimes I shock myself with my own stupidity. I just realized it has a black interior, not a tan one. So sorry about that. About the California stuff, I have no idea.

    I have a ‘95 Berlinetta Red/Tan 30k miles. I’m the second owner I sold it new in October ‘95. I know it’s history from the day it left Beverly Hills Ferrari.

    You mention a Berlinetta but also that you live in SoCal - have you considered a spider?

    A very late 99 spider (6 speed, 322 Rosso Corso and tan) is coming to market soon - Ferrari restored and absolutely the straightest and shiniest 355 you’ve ever seen, 98 point multiple concours platino (including nationals).

    Fully sorted, all stock (tubi exhaust installed; OEM included), fully documented, every service ever, 100k in receipts, no expense spared ever. Fresh tires and wheel refinishing.

    The car is a 10, and all there even with the original dot matrix printed window sticker.

    I can’t DM, but you’re welcome to if you’d like you know more and would consider a perfect spider.

    I do have a Red/Tan ‘95 B, I have owned it for 20 years. I sold it new in October of ‘95 to a gentleman who was 72 (his first Ferrari) the car was delivered new to Beverly Hills. I dealer traded them a Black car we had in stock for the a Red car I now own.
    Can’t decide if I want to sell or not but we can certainly talk about it.

    I am the owner of a 1998 355 Berlinetta Red/Tan, 25,500 miles, excellent service history, all books and records, tool kits, 3 keys including master, car cover, the whole nine. The car is in excellent mechanical condition and has been thoroughly serviced and maintained - no major due for 3 years. New tires, 80% clutch remaining. One caveat, the car is currently an F1, but I own and operate the exotics mechanic and performance shop in my area (NW Florida) and have performed multiple conversions myself and would be happy to convert this car if you are open to it. Happy to share all details and do a walkaround of the car with you, anything you would like updated or adjusted before purchase I will be happy to do.
