    I had been waiting for the Hot Wheels Elite F355 for a while, but when I heard it was canceled, I knew I had to get at least one UT F355 in my collection. To me the F355 is one of the most beautiful cars ever made and I love getting cars from Need For Speed II: SE so it was a must have for me

    I got a used one on eBay for $42 and it came today. It came in perfect shape, although the interior is pretty dusty and I will have to clean it. It's really another gem from UT, makes you wish Autoart would re-introduce the UT line and try to get the Ferrari license...

    hi mike
    the UT f355 is a nice model,i have 3 versions 355gtb,355gts,and 355gt spyder all red.
    got them when they were relesed a few years back,the only problem you have with it
    the windsheild might fade when exposed to full sunlight, apart from that,well done on the price.
    i think your right about elite cancelled by hotwheels

    Thanks Joseph! Last I heard, the Elite F355 was canceled and replaced with the 550 Barchetta

    I try to avoid getting RED Ferraris in my collection

    the regular "non-elite 550 Barchetta" is so ugly :eek: something to be embarrased of ....
    they better re-release it .

    Anyway here's my NON-RED 355 s

    UT made a bunch of different 355's, but I have never seen a Grigio one, would love to see it. They made a Argento/Red, Blue/Creama, Yellow/Tan, Red/Black, Red/Tan, Black/Black, Yellow/Black, amoung others..... Some are quite rare...

    Not you, Lotec. The seller had this spider and a GTB, both displayed and dusty with boxes. The GTB went first and for a bit more, and I then missed the boat on this one too. Looks great Lotec! Enjoy! :)

    Haha, thanks, and I know how you feel. I've lost out on two UT Berlinetta's the past week by one dollar each, both times I was at work when they ended :(

    That is an awesome table of models!!!

    I would have said the silver spider is a HW as I have seen this one before by HW.

    James is correct--The Grigio Titanium Spider on the left is very easy to find and made by Hot Wheels.. HW or UT never made a 355 in Grigio Alloy

    I was so angry, a couple weeks ago I found a Red/Black UT GTB and got it for $40. For kicks I went to the completed sales and saw a yellow/black UT GTS, that sold buy-it-now for $38 only a day or 2 before I looked, what a find.

    Thanks for the comments guys! Scored another rare UT grail today, the black BMW Z3 M Coupe for only $30...not a Ferrari, but my favorite Bimmer :)
