Gateway Classic Cars of Orlando is proud to present this beautiful
2004 Ferrari 360 Spider. Yes, Ferrari's really are special. They're
not just toys for rich people, they're probably the purest form of
the automobile-as-entertainment currently on the face of the Earth.
If you like to drive simply for the pleasure of the activity, then
this 2004 Ferrari F360 Spider is the one to own. It's certainly the
right color with its beautiful black paint. With just over 8K miles
on the clock, this lovely F360 Spider (which is Ferrari-speak for
convertible) looks like new. The revised bodywork that was a big
step forward from the F355 is softer, rounder, yet every bit as
aggressive. The gaping air intakes up front, the faired-in
headlights that look like they were borrowed from Le Mans, and the
air ducts in back that are pure form-following-function, all of it
makes this car one of the most dramatic shapes on the road. Build
quality on Ferraris is legendary, and the luscious paint is so
bright and shiny that you're almost afraid to touch it because the
wet finish might come off on your fingers. There might be a few
minor nicks on the nose, but nothing you're going to see without
crawling on the ground. It has never been hit, dinged, or even
parked too close to the garage wall, so every other panel is
unmarked and in fantastic condition. With the Black paint, the only
real choice is black leather, which has that wonderful look that
only the Italians seem to have mastered. Supportive bucket seats
(of course) are in fantastic condition and despite the very soft
hides, there's almost no wear on the seating surfaces. Black
carpets and dashboard keep it from getting too bright inside and a
few flashes of raw aluminum remind us that this is a lightweight
performance car at heart. The fat wheel has thumb nooks and the big
tach is mounted so that it's the first gauge you see when you
glance down through the spokes. This 360 has the desirable F1
gearbox, so you get paddle shifters and only two aluminum pedals on
the floor, but it's a blast to drive. Everything works, from the
A/C to the power windows to the black canvas folding top. The
forward-mounted trunk also has its original tool roll and jack kit
in their original pouches. The 3.6-liter DOHC V8 in this Ferrari
sings an altogether different tune than the big block American V8s
you might be used to. It starts with a frantic clatter, all 32
valves and four camshafts spinning madly to fire the engine. This
car will really get up and go. At low speeds, it's got a pleasing
buzz to it, but when you wind it out, it begins to scream to a
blistering crescendo. You'll look forward to tunnels just to tap
the paddle twice and drop it down two gears. This is the one to own
and can be yours by calling our Orlando Florida showroom at
