15 years ago, a Ferrari 355 was not a rare or particularly collectible car. There were plenty going around with low mileage and in good condition. Prices were low and examples abundant. But as people have enjoyed their 355's over the years, the selection of low mileage, excellent condition, gated Ferrari 355s has vanished, bringing the price back up above MSRP Levels. Grab a bucket of popcorn and watch as John tells the story of finding one of these super rare 355s in the unlikeliest of forums, Facebook.

I can see how a woman who likes and knows cars could order one of these manual and fully loaded with these cool options. Its definetily one of the best looking cars in the world to me. For sure in the top 20. Its line its just so clean, sport and refined. And i dont want to even mention the sound. Hey John if at anytime you need people to work for you i think i could be a good add to your work team, i know pretty much about these cars and i love cars. Great channel i had seen you before in Dani Clos channel and in his video i realize you know so much about cars and have good taste to. Being you is i could say the dream of any car enthusiast thank you for sharing with us when you obviously are not doing it for the youtube videos money, you are doing it for the passion for cars.

FYI, the '95 F355 GTS is the rarest of this breed. First, very few were imported in '95 as they showed up late in the year, well after the release of the Berlinetta. They are certainly all 6 speed manual shifters, as the F1's arrived in '97. '95's are OBD 1, and NOT OBD II. As such, they are a bit simpler and easier to work on (no SD1 necessary), and they have a unique intake via dual air cleaners to mass airflow sensors directly into the heads. '96 and later are OBD II, and have different ECUs, and use a siamese'd intake, with two air cleaners merging into a single mass airflow sensor, then back out to two air intakes to the heads (as seen on this car in the video). This results in slightly less total airflow and HP than the '95, which has a bit more responsive throttle. There are a few other minor differences, but regardless of year, these are wonderful cars. The late Gerald Roush of Ferrari Market Letter in 2002 advised me that according to his records, he believed that there were only 175 total '95 F355 GTS's produced globally. Of those, there are currently only 49 listed in the F355 Registry that came to the U.S. (the registry is Global). Later years were produced in much larger numbers. How do I know this? I happen to own one of the 49, since 2001 as the second owner and love the 355.

I found and bought a Ferrari 456 I found on Craigslist just north of San Diego several years ago. The price was $38,000 firm and the owners were similar to the owner of the 355. They were older and had a neighbor helping them sell the 456. I received some grainy videos and had some pictures sent to me that I wasn’t really sure weren’t just found online, but I got a cashiers check from my bank and booked a flight to San Diego and luckily it was 100% legit. I was worried it was a scam and that I was going to just be robbed but I took a chance. The owner was a 76 yr old man with his 86 yr old girlfriend and they just purchased a BMW i8 which was the 8th car they had with only a 3 car garage so they decided to sell the Ferrari. Ive now owned the 456 for about 4 1/2 years now and I was lucky I bought it when I did because the average low price for the 456 seems to be $65,000 and pristine examples are listed for over $120,000 now. I found out from the neighbor that about a month and a half after I purchased the 456 the 76 year old man I bought the 456 from passed away. I was lucky I was able to meet him and hear all the stories about the previous cars he owned.

@@wimdepril6920 , Interesting. I just checked the 355 Registry, and there are only 24 '94's listed out of 187 total '94 F355s! (www.ferrari355registry.com). Very rare indeed! FYI, the '95's also have the 2.7 Motronic systems. In '96 they had to update to the later Motronic to comply with Federal OBD II requirements, which continued through the run of the rest of F355s. Mine is two owner, with 54K miles. I think the F355 GTS's used in the filming of James Bond "Golden Eye" were likely '94 models. If you look closely, there are two. One has a small silver rectangular emblem on the rear valance panel, and the other does not. I've never seen that on another F355.
