For Sale: 2004 Ferrari 360 Spider in Farmingdale, New York

Motorcar Classics is proud to present this 2004 Ferrari 360 Spider. Representing an exceptionally rare and desirable specification of one of Ferrari's most celebrated modern-era sports cars. At its heart is Ferrari's iconic factory gated 6-speed manual transmission, delivering the open-gate, naturally aspirated V8 driving experience that has become increasingly coveted by collectors as Ferrari's true manual-transmission cars become harder to find.What truly separates this particular 360 Spider is an extraordinarily uncommon option documented directly on its original Monroney window sticker: the $4,610 "RACING EXHAUST SYSTEM." This is not an aftermarket exhaust or a later conversion-it is documented on the Monroney window sticker as part of the car's factory specification.Ferrari specialists identify the 360 Racing Exhaust option as EXA1 and describe it as having been fitted to very few 360s. A Ferrari specialist dealer that has handled another factory Racing Exhaust-equipped 360 has reported that fewer than 13 cars were originally built with this rare factory exhaust option. While Ferrari has not publicly released production records independently confirming that exact figure, available specialist information consistently points to extraordinarily low production numbers for this factory option.Even more compelling is the combination of this extremely rare factory Racing Exhaust with the factory gated 6-speed manual transmission. Documented examples confirm that Ferrari produced gated-manual 360 Spiders with the Racing Exhaust, but they are exceptionally difficult to find. This combination makes this car far more unusual than the much more commonly encountered F1-transmission 360 Spider.The exceptional specification continues throughout the car. Its Monroney window sticker documents an impressive $23,826 in factory options, including Daytona-style seats, electrically operated seats, Scuderia Ferrari shields, modular wheel rims, front Challenge-style grilles, rear Challenge grille, high-power HiFi system with subwoofer, red brake calipers, and contrasting-color stitching, in addition to the $4,610 Racing Exhaust System.Just as important for the next owner, this Ferrari has benefited from major service and maintenance performed during 2026, supported by maintenance and service records. For a Ferrari of this era, documented recent maintenance is an important part of ownership and adds considerably to the appeal of an already exceptional collector example. The records accompanying the car provide the next owner with documentation of the care and attention it has received rather than having to rely solely on representations about its maintenance history.The car also retains important original Ferrari accessories, including its original factory tool kit and original Ferrari car cover. Together with the Monroney window sticker and supporting maintenance documentation, these items further enhance the completeness and collector appeal of the car.With a Total Suggested Retail Price of $199,901 when new, this was an extraordinarily well-optioned 360 Spider from the beginning. Today, it brings together the attributes serious Ferrari enthusiasts increasingly seek: a factory gated manual transmission, naturally aspirated Ferrari V8, extraordinarily rare factory Racing Exhaust, extensive original factory options, documented recent service history, and important original accessories.What makes this Ferrari special isn't any single feature-it is the remarkable combination. This is a factory gated 360 Spider ordered with one of the rarest documented factory options available for the model, accompanied by many of Ferrari's most desirable options and preserved with its original equipment and supporting records.For the collector searching beyond an ordinary Ferrari 360 Spider, this represents an opportunity to acquire a remarkably uncommon factory configuration whose combination of gated 6-speed manual transmission, $4,610 factory Racing Exhaust, Challenge-inspired equipment, extensive original options, documented 2026 servicing, original factory tool kit and Ferrari car cover would be extraordinarily difficult to duplicate.A true "Collector's Dream" specification-defined not by modifications added later, but by the extraordinary way this Ferrari was originally ordered, equipped and preserved.
