1990 Ferrari 348 Ts Base Coupe 2-door 3.4l on 2040-cars
Rockwell, North Carolina, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1990 Ferrari 348ts. It is Rosso Red with a tan interior with 37,150 miles. It is all stock with the original 3.4 liter V8 motor and 5 speed transmission. I bought the car about nine months ago and really love the car as it is great fun to drive. However, a couple months ago I developed some back issues which are worsened when I drive a stick shift car. After many, many years of owning manual transmission sports cars, I may finally be old enough to look for an automatic transmission in my next sports car.
This car has had no previous accident damage and has been well cared for by the previous owners. I bought it from Sport Auto in Summerfield, NC who had the car on consignment from the owner they had previously sold the car to. I have numerous service records with most of the service completed at Sport Auto by their certified Ferrari tech named Tom Jones. So the dealership knew the car very well and it has been everything they said it would be. When I purchased the car, I knew it needed to have the cam belt service which requires removing the motor. Sport Auto had done the previous cam belt service 6,000 miles ago but it had been six years. The belt is supposed to last for 30,000 miles but the time factor here was the reason the belt needed to be replaced. The upgraded Hill Engineering idler and tensioner pulley's had been installed at this service. I have a lift in my garage and do my own service along with the help of my engineer son. Last November we pulled the motor and installed a new cam belt. Since the cam belt also runs the water pump, it was replaced as well. During the inspection of the engine, I discovered that the A/C compressor was leaking and a new one was installed. The A/C system was also converted to 134A at that time and does a great job of cooling the interior even during some recent 90 degree plus days. We also installed a new clutch while the motor was out. While the motor was out I also cleaned up the motor, the engine bay and both front and rear suspensions. All of this work was documented on the Ferrari Chat website in the following thread: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/348-355-sponsored-bradan/429582-ferrari-348-engine-out-service.html The car has run flawlessly since we put the motor back in the car around the first of the year. I have put over 3,000 miles driving it to various car shows and on Sunday afternoon pleasure rides with my wife. It still has the original single stage paint except for the lift out roof. At some point this piece was painted body color using base/clear paint. The paint is very good to excellent with minimal stone chips on the nose. I would rate the interior at that same level with some wear on the driver's seat that is consistent with the age of the car and the mileage. The wheels are in great shape and there is lots of tread left on the tires. The transmission shifts well with no synchro issues. The brake pads have plenty of material, the car stops evenly with no pulling and new synthetic brake fluid was used after the motor was re-installed. Everything works on the car as it should. With the new clutch and recent belt service, this is a Ferrari 348 that can be driven for a number of years before it will require service. The car has a clear title with no liens and is sold as is with no warranty. For more information, please call 704-657-8320. I have the car listed locally and reserve the right to stop the auction if the car sells locally.

Ferrari 400 Superamerica leads $60M RM Sotheby's sale at Amelia Island [w/video]
Tue, Mar 17 2015Just last month, two of the most venerated auction houses came together under one roof. And this past weekend, the newly christened RM Sotheby's held its first event at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, selling a record $60 million worth of classic automobiles. The event's highlight was surely the gorgeous 1960 Ferrari 400 Superamerica SWB Cabriolet pictured above. Resplendent in dark green over a red leather interior, this particular Superamerica set a record for that model when it sold for $6.38 million, with proceeds going towards a children's education charity. That price far outstrips the record $4 million that Gooding & Co. got for that sleek white Aerodinamico coupe in Scottsdale earlier this year. Among the other seven-figure items were of course some other Ferraris, including a rare '72 Daytona Spider that went for $3.3 million, along with a smattering of Jaguars, Mercedes, Alfas, Lamborghinis and Bugattis. A rare 2007 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano with a manual transmission sold for nearly triple its estimate at $682,000, and the Daytona-winning, Castrol-liveried 1988 Jaguar XJR-9 sold for over $2 million. Of course RM Sotheby's wasn't the only company holding an auction during the Florida concours. But as the event's official auction house, it brought in more than all the other participating auctioneers combined, setting a record for Amelia Island in the process.

Ferrari 458 Speciale vs Porsche 911 GT3 shows what Chris Harris does best
Thu, Nov 27 2014After a brief trip behind a pay wall, British auto journalist Chris Harris is back posting videos for free online, and shorts like this one are the perfect example of why his return is so welcome. Showing up at the damp Anglesey Circuit on the Welsh coast with the Ferrari 458 Speciale and Porsche 911 GT3, Harris ostensibly aims to find the better model. However, the final result really succeeds in showcasing the fun to be had behind the wheels of both supercars, particularly when initiating huge slides around the track. As Harris presents it, the vehicles get through the circuit in somewhat different ways The Ferrari is brash and "feels alive," as he puts it as it screams around the track. Alternatively, the Porsche is a bit more restrained, while still being able to show some emotion. In the end, it comes down to trying to get a controlled lap around Anglesey from this duo, but it's pretty clear that the times don't tell the whole story. If you're in the mood to watch two of the world's premiere supercars wag their tails in the wet, then this video cannot be missed.
Scuderia Ferrari F138 unveiled in Maranello
Fri, 01 Feb 2013This is the F138, the Formula One challenger that Ferrari CEO Luca de Montezemolo describes as "hopeful" and the eighth and final version of a Scuderia Ferrari Formula One car with a V8 engine - for now. The last digit in this car's name pays homage to that cylinder count, while the first two digits represent the year; next year the regulations will mandate 1.6-liter turbocharged V6s.
The Scuderia did well in pre-season testing last year but at the first race found itself almost two seconds down on the other top teams. With no significant changes to the regulations for 2013, Ferrari focused on weight loss, making components smaller and making the package more rigid, refining every aspect of a car that's essentially an evolution of last year's F2012. The front suspension has been redesigned for aero benefit, and the rear suspension is completely new. The front and rear wings are evolutions, and there's a new air intake design above the cockpit and redesigned intakes on the sidepods. The rear bodywork forms a much narrower package around the redesigned exhaust system, and the KERS is smaller and lighter.
Getting a jump on the 2014 car that will be a clean-sheet design under the new technical regime, Ferrari has integrated the spec TAG 320 electronic controller unit to this year's car. Forbidden from raising the power performance of the engine, the F1 team has worked on maintaining that performance over the three-race life of the engine. And yes, that's a vanity panel over the stepped nose in front.
