MotoeXotica Classic Cars, a 1995 Ferrari F355 Spider Convertible
finished in hard to find silver exterior and black interior. The
F355 is one of the most iconic cars in modern Ferrari history and
is on the verge of becoming an appreciating modern classic with the
highly desirable manual transmission, Fabspeed exhaust system,
recent belt service and fully functional top! Many
enthusiasts�prefer the F355 because of its separate dual air
intakes and dual mass airflow sensors, giving the car more power.
Dressed in Argento Nurburgring (Nurburgring Silver) (code 101),
this car's paint and trim are in excellent condition. The
windshield, side glass and rear window are in similar great order,
as are this filly's lights, even her foglights. It rolls on
five-spoke factory alloy wheels wrapped in 225/40ZR18 radials in
front and 265/40ZR18s in back. The tires and wheels continue the
fine pattern established by the other areas. In fact, all of the
body panels are straight and solid, the engine bay is highly tidy
and the bumpers look impeccable. Open the rear bonnet to see the
car's heart, a 3.5L, five-valve V-8 engine. Its new head design
allowed for better intake and much more power than the 348 that
came before. The longitudinal 90� V8 engine was bored two mm over
the 348's engine (85�mm rather than 83�mm), resulting in the small
increase in displacement. Engine internals are produced using
lightweight materials; the connecting rods are forged in Ti6-Al-4V
titanium alloy. The engine's compression ratio is 11:1 and employs
the Bosch Motronic M2.7�engine control unit�in the 1995 model year.
The Motronic system controls the electronic fuel injection and
ignition systems, with a single spark plug per cylinder. Engine
lubrication is via a dry-sump oiling system. This F355 recently
underwent a major engine service, including the installation of
Fabspeed headers and a quad Tubi exhaust system. The car's standard
seats are upholstered with hides from velvety Connolly Leather and
are fitted asymmetrically in the car; this results in the driver
being slightly closer to the car's centerline than the passenger.
Those Nero (black) Connolly buckets are in very good shape, with
just some overall minor wear, as expected from a car of this age
and type. The matching black carpet is in excellent order, as is
the black instrument panel, with its passenger air bag. The
four-spoke black steering wheel houses the driver's air bag and
looks great with its thick rim. The inner door panels, mirror
glass, center console and shift lever all look fantastic. The
manual shifter, gated shift plate, accelerator, brake and clutch
pedals are finished in silver and help break up an otherwise
monotone interior. Rounding out this interior is a Sony AM/FM
stereo with a top quality McIntosh amplifier but with this engine
and the ability to lower the top at will, what other music do you
really need? The�Ferrari F355�(Type F129) is a�sports car�built
by�Ferrari�from May 1994 to 1999. It is a�mid-engine, rear wheel
drive,�V8-powered two-seat�coupe,�targa, or�convertible. Design
emphasis for the F355 was placed on significantly improved
performance, as well as drivability across a wider range of speeds
and in different environments (such as low-speed city traffic.) The
frame is a steel monocoque with tubular steel rear sub-frame with
front and rear suspensions using independent, unequal-length
wishbones, coil springs over gas-filled telescopic shock absorbers
with electronic control servos and anti-roll bars. The car allows
selection between two damper settings, "Comfort" and "Sport."
Although the F355 was equipped with power-assisted steering
(intended to improve low-speed drivability relative to the outgoing
348), this could optionally be replaced with a manual steering rack
setup by special order. The F355 Spider debuted in 1995, its
Pininfarina-penned lines honed by 1,800 hours�in the wind tunnel,
resulting in a blend of elegant style and aerodynamic performance.
The car incorporates a Nolder profile on the upper portion of the
tail, and a�fairing�on the underbody that generates downforce when
the car is at speed. For the first time on a Ferrari, the
semi-automatic soft-top was powered electronically. Initially, the
Spider was offered with the six-speed transmission. The Spider
proved to be the second-most popular F355 model, with a total
production of 3,717 units, of which 2,664 were produced with the
six-speed transmission and another 1,053 produced with the F1
transmission. The nomenclature does not follow the formula from the
previous decades, i.e., engine capacity (in liters) followed by
number of cylinders (e.g. 246 = 2.4 liters, 6 cylinders, 308 = 3.0
liters, 8 cylinders, etc.). For the F355, Ferrari used engine
capacity followed by the number of valves per cylinder (355 =
3.5-liter engine capacity and five valves per cylinder) to bring
the performance advances introduced by a five-valve per cylinder
configuration into the forefront. Total production of 11,273 units
made the F355 the most-produced Ferrari at the time. Documentation
includes a clean CARFAX report and more than $32,000 in maintenance
and repair receipts. Highlights include the Fabspeed header
installation, rebuilt front and rear drive axles, recharged
air-conditioning, new spark plugs, timing belts, filters, gaskets,
hoses, other accessory drive belts. Competition to this Ferrari in
1995 included Aston Martin's Virage Volante, Chevrolet's Corvette
ZR-1 and Dodge's Viper and Porsche's 911 GT1. This car is currently
located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on
the odometer shows 26,024 and is understood to be actual as backed
up by Carfax and service receipts. It is sold as is, where is, on a
clean and clear, exempt mileage title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! CLICK
