24k-MILE 1997 FERRARI F355 SPIDER 6-SPEED

OVERVIEW

This 1997 Ferrari F355 Spider has been driven 24,045 miles since new and underwent an engine-out service within the last 5,000 miles, with reportedly $37,000 spent in total upgrades. It is powered by a mid-mounted 3.5-liter DOHC V8 mated to a six-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. Features include a Capristo exhaust system, a Kenwood stereo, and an adaptive suspension. Finished in Rosso Corsa and equipped with a black cloth power-retractable top over a tan leather interior, this F355 is now offered by the selling dealer with spare keys, a key fob for changing the exhaust tone, a car cover, a CARFAX report, and a clear title.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The Rosso Corsa exterior has pop-up headlights, fog lamps, side air intakes, a vented engine cover, an integrated decklid spoiler, and an upgraded Capristo exhaust system that features quad polished outlets and offers key fob-controlled adjustments. The selling dealer notes that the driver-side rear quarter panel was refinished previously.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

Five-spoke 18-inch Speedline wheels with Ferrari center caps are wrapped in Sumitomo tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The cockpit is outfitted with power-adjustable tan leather bucket seats, matched to the door panels, console, and lower dash. Features include a gated shifter, automatic climate control, drilled aluminum pedals, a clock, power steering, power windows, and an aftermarket Kenwood AM/FM/CD audio system.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

Instrumentation consists of a 200-mph speedometer, a 10,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and oil temperature. The odometer reads 24,045 miles, which aligns with the most recent reading noted on the CARFAX report in April.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The mid-mounted 3.5-liter DOHC V8 uses dry-sump lubrication and was rated at 375 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque when new. A Capristo exhaust system has been added. The engine-out service at 19,721 miles included the replacement of the drive belts, tensioners, timing belt seals, cam seals, filters, clutch, valve stem seals, and head gaskets. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential.

UNDERCARRIAGE

Stopping power comes from ventilated discs at all four corners. The suspension settings can be modified with a toggle switch on the center console.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

The CARFAX report begins in 1996 and shows ownership in California and Oklahoma. An accident was reported in 2007. A California emissions inspection was performed in April 2023. A car cover, spare keys, and a fob for adjusting the tone of the Capristo exhaust system will accompany the vehicle. The seller also states that the air, oil, and fuel filters have been replaced.
