One of the most iconic sports cars of the 1990s, the Ferrari F355 featured the highest horsepower-to-displacement ratio of any production car at the time. It represented the flagship Ferrari of the late 1990s and went on to become one of their most recognizable models. This example is finished in the classic combination of Rosso Corsa over a tan Connolly leather highlighted by a sought-after 6-speed gated manual transmission. It is believed to have spent time in Luxembourg before being shipped to Canada and eventually imported to the United States. Benefitting from an engine belt service in 2022, this F355 is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Texas showing approximately 39k kilometers (24k miles) on the odometer.

The Pininfarina-designed bodywork is finished in traditional Rosso Corsa (300) paint and features distinctive pop-up headlights, fog lights, side air intakes, a vented engine cover, quad exhaust pipes, and “Flying Buttress” rear pillars. It rides on factory 18” five-spoke magnesium wheels dressed in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires from 2021. The seller notes a few minor blemishes consistent with age, and a paint correction was performed along with the application of full paint protection film upon their acquisition in December 2022. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.

The cabin is upholstered in tan Connolly leather featuring deeply bolstered sports seats with Cavallino-embossed headrests. Details include a contrasting black dashboard decorated with a passenger-side F355 badge, a polished gated shifter, drilled aluminum pedals, red carpets & floor mats, Ferrari-branded door sill guards, Veglia instrumentation with chrome bezels. Equipment includes automatic climate control, a Sony AM/FM/CD stereo, and auxiliary gauges in the center stack for fuel level and coolant temperature. All gauges, electronics, and accessories are reported to be working properly.

The F355 is equipped with a mid-mounted 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 with 5 valves per cylinder, titanium connecting rods, and dry-sump lubrication. Up to 375 HP and 258 lb.-ft of torque is sent to the rear wheels by a 6-speed gated manual gearbox and limited-slip differential, allowing acceleration from 0-60 MPH in 4.5 seconds with a top speed of 183 MPH. Vented disc brakes are equipped at all four corners along with black Ferrari-branded brake calipers. The seller indicates an engine-out belt service was performed by Ferrari of Vancouver in 2022.

This sale will include a clean title (lien).

The seller would like you to know: “This has been a very fun car to drive. This was the first one I saw with red carpets and a tan interior. It's the ultimate classic Ferrari if you just have 1. Red over tan gated with a sleek silhouette.”

@Thetexican You're spot on. Almost all do have them. Not a big deal in the F355 world.

I just posted a photo of keys and manual.

I hadn’t opened the manual until now. There is an additional key, an additional alarm clicker, and a lot of service records included. All will come with sale. Along with my service records.

This is an excerpt from listing when I bought it for anyone asking about service and timing.

‘An engine-out service in July 2022 is said to have included replacing the timing belts, tensioners, spark plugs, cam seals, and valve cover gaskets as well as the tires and axle shaft boots.’

@ChamoxOT I was told. I had a 101 point inspection done. The shop that did it said everything was very tight and clean and he didn’t recommend a belt out unless there was an issue based on what I was told when I bought it. 1) the shop here is very reputable and has been working on Ferrari for 20 years 2) he said Ferrari of Vancouver where the service was done is a great shop and would have done it right. I have the tool kit fully intact. I have 1 ignition key and 2 auxiliary keys. I may have the manuals, I’ll look tomorrow. Will post pics.

@Thetexican Ok, so how did you confirm the belts were actually changed in 2022? Also, do you have all the books/manuals, tool kit, and how many keys? If so, can you please post pics?

@ChamoxOT only from my ownership. All other services were done in Europe or Canada. I had 101 point inspection along with oil change when I bought it. Just had it at Ferrari of Austin for a new battery and gasket replacement on gearbox.

@DrivenTexas the right side engine trim was in the shop floor. I had removed it when I had to jump the car. It just got a new battery from Ferrari of Austin. I didn’t send the cover with car. It’s been put back on.

Hi Seller @Thetexican. Lovely looking 355. Would you be able to photo under front bumper left and right sides to see if/how bad its scraped up. Would you photo the fresh air intake so show if the vent gate is functioning ok. Are there any cracks in the dash air vent plastics? its hard to tell in the photos?. Is the right side shock cover trim for engine bay lost? Is the car currently on on Texas title? Thanks.
