Hi everyone,
Made the tough decision to list my Carrera T. I know I’ll miss this one and not likely be able to ever find this spec again but selling it will allow me to get two of my all time grail cars—a 993 and a Ferrari F355.
The T is in absolutely fantastic shape and I really hope it goes to a fellow Rennlister. See the marketplace ad below and reach out to me with questions or offers.

You need to go into the Ferrari world with eyes wide open, especially when it comes to the 355. I was in it for 30 years, 10 of which was with a 355. It's very different from Porsche. Don't want to discourage you, but wouldn't want you to make a decision without adequate data. At a high level, you'll be trading Porsche quality for Ferrari sound. From there, comparisons get very muddy and it comes down to what you're willing to spend to get in and stay in Ferrari, and what you're willing to live with.
If you have any questions feel free to reach out. I self-maintained my cars for the most part, including the "major service" so I'm fairly versed on life with them.
I had a F355 for 20 yrs and it was highly modified which is a sin in the Ferrari world. It had a coimplete Challenge suspension and wheels minus the springs . Drove ite 60,000 miles but put a small fortune in parts and upkeep. Car is known more for its sound and beauty than its performance. It did not come close to the performance of even a base 991.2 but it was so beautiful and had so much character that you really have to be in love with it to put up with all the Ferrari headaches. Enjoy the car and drive it. Most F355's are hardly driven which is the worst thing. Belt changes I did every 8-9 years and belts were always in perfect condition so this belt change every 3 yrs is nonsense.
Dayummm... seriously impressed you went with the pasha op-art inserts!
My bud's brother had a 928 with that interior and I've always thought it was the coolest, most 80's thing ever (in a good way).
I've considered doing it as aftermarket but I may be too old now!
I think it's great you spec'd that though, bravo sir!
Everyone, thanks for the comments. I know I need better pics, but car is garaged and it’s snowing here in Wyoming.
This is easily the best street car I’ve ever owned with fantastically balanced power, handling and grin inducing factor. After my first few drives I really felt that it would be a lifetime car. As it can happen with our long winters, the cars get put up and not being able to drive, internet reading and researching and scheming prevail. It so happened that I came across two grail cars in the last couple of weeks—a narrow body 993 with light mods and a meticulously serviced and documented F355 Berlinetta with gated 6 speed. What’s especially neat is that both cars were completed 9/1996.
My wife has been amazingly supportive of me buying these cars but I promised her that I would sell the T. Believe me if I had the space and hadn’t promised her, I would be keeping it. This is a fantastic car and mine is a great one to get. If you’re on the fence, please reach out with an offer. I can get it to Denver to a Porsche dealer to have it serviced before transferring.
In the meantime, let me share some pics of the two new stablemates.
