1999 Ferrari 355 GTB Steal of a Deal

Here’s another amazing deal on a modern Ferrari. This time it’s a 1999 Ferrari 355 GTB with less than 20k miles on the odometer. It’s red with tan interior (THE color for a Ferrari in my opinion) and has some nice extras. Sounds like it’s been well taken care of too.

Here are some more details:

This 1999 Ferrari 355 GTB has the amazing F-1 transmission. This is the best of both worlds. On open roads you can use the paddle-shift or if you get stuck in traffic of are just tired – you can push a button and the car instantly becomes a fully automatic car and your hands are free.

This car has… No smells or odors (smells new). No. Leaks. No. Squeaks. No smoke. No rattles. No weird sounds anywhere. The paint looks 10-feet-deep and has not a scratch anywhere. The paint is all original and mint. This car never saw the rain or snow and is only driven on picturesque days. The car shifts flawlessly in Auto and F-1 paddle-manual. No loose gears. This final-year 355GTB is just an utterly-gorgeous specimen that’s showroom perfect exterior is matched with a perfectly clean interior. I just cleaned it myself. This car also comes with 1. Ferrari’s 355 car cover. 2. A large Ferrari Tool Set with spare light bulbs and more. 3. 10-Disc CD Player (of course it’s the original Ferrari branded system) 4. All books. 5. 2 Key sets. 6. And some misc Ferrari items like their flashlight.

Bargain Ferrari 360 Modena

This 1999 Ferrari 360 Modena has a starting bid of only $38,000 on eBay. There’s a reserve, but many of these 360′s are going for screaming deals in the $60k and $70k range. When I first started watching these (just before the economy started tanking), it was tough to find any for under $100k.

This one would need a little TLC, but it’s still got lots of life in it. It’s a bit higher on the mileage scale with 75,500 miles, but the seller is promising a full belt service as part of the sale. This would be a great driving car you wouldn’t have to worry about babying. Here’s some info from the auction:

Chrome wheels, Tubi exhaust, Red calipers. Needs work on the front bumper. Front bumper is scuffed beyond repair underneath, needs new front bumper. (From steep driveways only) Driver’s side leather seat upper sides parts need repair.  Last 60k miles driven in Southern California. This car was serviced well by an independent and driven often. Needs new headliner. Purchase price will include new timing belt and complete service before delivery. Engine, transmission and suspension are still in excellent condition. Paint nicks and all over the front from driving on the highways. This car was virtually problem-free. Except for a few ignition coils that went out when I washed the engine. I found out that the housings crack over time and water enters and ruins them. No check engine light, no smoke, passes smog check every time. (the ’99 has a special procedure, of course) The 1999 360 has only two catalytic converters and no secondary air injection system.
