We are pleased to offer this 1995 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta finished in Verde Silverstone Metallic over a tan leather interior. Among the most iconic sports cars of the 1990s, the Pininfarina-designed F355 is one of Ferrari’s most successful models, and this 1995 example features a rare color combination and a coveted gated 6-speed manual transmission. It is said to have been purchased by the last owner in 2008 who had carried out proper maintenance including a major engine-out service in 2018. This beautifully configured F355 is now being offered by its seller out of Texas while showing just over 51k miles on the odometer.
The Pininfarina-designed bodywork is finished in the historic shade of Verde Silverstone Metallic, and the Ferrari F355 Registry shows only five GTBs to have ever been produced in this color. The paint on this example is noted to be all original and with only minor signs of road-going wear on the front end, detailed images are provided in the photo gallery along with paint meter readings, and a clean CARFAX report. Some distinctive design elements include large side air intakes, pop-up headlights, and a louvered rear engine cover. This example wears a Challenge-style rear grille and factory 18” 5-spoke wheels that come dressed in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.
Inside, this F355 is upholstered with tan leather, matching carpets, and a black upper dashboard. Other notable details include embossed Cavallino Rampante headrest logos, drilled aluminum pedals, and a 6-speed shifter gated manual shifter. An aftermarket Sony stereo has been equipped and this cabin is noted to have been kept in great shape throughout the years.
This Berlinetta is equipped with a mid-mounted 3.5L V8 DOHC engine featuring dry-sump lubrication and an output of up to 375 HP. A highly sought-after 6-speed gated manual transmission drives the rear wheels allowing for a 0-60 time of approximately 4.3 seconds and a top speed of nearly 190 MPH. A major engine-out service was carried out in 2018 at just over 48k miles which included resealed valve covers, new fluids and filters, new cam seals and O-rings, cam belt tensioners, bearings, and timing belts. A collection of maintenance records is said to accompany the sale dating back to 2008 and photos from the engine-out service are provided in the gallery.
This sale will include original owner's manuals, a toolkit, a car cover, a collection of service records, and a clean title. With its rare exterior finish, gated manual transmission, and well-documented service history, this F355 is not to be overlooked.

@WheelGenius No worries. Records are complete from 2001-present and all neatly kept and ordered by date in a single binder. This is a very well-documented vehicle.

Thanks for the quick reply crave, this is going to be an interesting auction ! We actually spoke before on this car I don't remember if you have complete or partial service records?

@WheelGenius Hi. The picture I included is a new set of rotors, brakes, and skid plates that you can use when it does need brakes. The grille was upgraded to a factory challenge grille. In other words, the grille was upgraded and we are also including brand new rotors, brakes, and skid plates for when the current ones inevitably need to be replaced. Sorry about the confusion. I accidentally wrote "original" in front of all of these pieces when really only the grille is original among these additions.
Bid in the amount of $108,000
Why were the rotors, skid plates and grille replaced? Necessary for repair or upgrades?
Thank you all for your bids so far. Great action for a very deserving vehicle. Excited to see this car go to a new caretaker today.

Hello bidders! Happy to announce that the original brakes, rotors, skid plates, and grille will be included in the purchase. Picture coming soon.
We are looking forward to seeing where this auction goes.
Just went and saw this one in person with my tech. and WOW..... color looks so much better in person.
Looks like you're talking about the reflections. I absolutely love that color and the color combo. Hope I can bring this one home.
@Cucui It looks like there was a hair on the headlight when those photos were taken. There is no scratch along the headlights. I've taken some closer-up photos of the headlights and requested Pcar upload them so that you can verify yourself. They should be uploaded soon
@Crave I was wondering about those white marks near the headlights. The photos where the paint depth is checked is where I can see them.
Can you confirm if those are scratches? Closer photos of that area would help. Thanks
Gotta love a fully serviced Ferrari!
@Cucui This vehicle does have the proper patina that any 50k mile vehicle would feature. There are a handful of small rock chips on the front end as can be seen in the pictures. I can take and include more photos if you would like!
@jbauto I'm sorry, you are correct. It has had a complete engine rebuild with new valve guides and headers installed back in 2013 as the photos show. The last engine-out belt service was performed in 2018 or 3k miles ago. Thank you for clarifying!
Are those scuffs or scratches on the hood near the headlights? Can you show more photos of the hood and front bumper?
I'm sorry but the Pictures show a disassembled engine with Barrels, Pistons, Heads and a bore check of the Mains. That's not a normal engine out in my world. What about headers and Cats?
@jbauto Hi. The engine was not overhauled but received a standard engine-out service that these 355s need every 15k miles or 5 years to stay in good shape. As the maintenance records show, this particular 355 has been very well kept over its lifetime. Happy to help with any other questions you may have.
Where was that engine overhauled and why? Did it drop a valve? I only see maintenance receipts. What about headers?
@dlb Hi, thank you for the compliment. Yes, as previously mentioned, this vehicle has no sticky button issues. It is certainly a common problem, so I understand the need for clarification. Happy to help with any other questions!
Hi seller, lovely car. Just to be clear. Have the sticky buttons been taken care of, meaning have they been sent away to be refinnsihed? It is needed on all of these cars....had them done on the one I had too. Many thanks
@speedfreak31 Thank you for the comment. It is indeed a beautiful car. It's a shame there were only five produced in this color. The radio clicks into its socket in order to be turned on. When not needed, there is a button on the lower left of the device that slightly ejects it from the socket and turns the radio off. It's a nifty device and fits the retro style of this vehicle quite nicely.
As far as the fingerprints, those were due to a very thin layer of stick that was on the area in question. So, yes, same issue. It has since been cleaned and the fingerprints removed. I'm glad to report that this car has no other sticky issues. Please let me know if you have any further questions. We are happy to help
Love this color combination, WOW! Why is the radio crooked? Also are those fingerprints in the black material above the radio? I know the buttons get sticky but is that the same issue?
