1991 Ferrari 348 Ts Base Coupe 2-door 3.4l on 2040-cars
Spring, Texas, United States
I am selling my 348TS after
nearly 7 wonderful years of ownership. The car has been bullet proof - reliable
and fun throughout my ownership. It will make a great buy for someone wanting
their first Ferrari or for someone looking for a more analogue experience
compared to today's gizmo laden cars.
Exterior The car looks fabulous for something that is 22 years old - most people are shocked to believe it is not a new Ferrari. The paint is in great condition - The car received some paint work in 2012 to take care of road rash on the front/rear bumper. There are some minor swirls on the paint - normal for the age. The car has been garaged and lies under a car cover when at home. The wheels are in fine shape with a few nicks and scratches; see enclosed pictures. The wheel caps are slightly faded or cracked. Am providing a new set of wheel caps (all 4) for the owner to install as necessary. There is a clear bra installed on the front bumper, hood and mirrors to protect the paint. There is also a plastic shield to protect the expensive ($$$$) fog lamps and headlights.
My 348 has a unique look among all 348s for the
following reasons:
I do not have the original grill, engine cover. Interior Seats are in great shape – no tears. Has some minor wear on the driver’s side bolster. The roof fits perfectly – doesn’t leak during rains. The a/c panel shows sign of stickiness. I fixed this in 2008 but it has come back – this is a common feature on a Ferrari. Happens to all the cars. A little TLC can fix it. J All the instruments, buttons, gauges work. The seatbelt motors work perfectly (expensive to fix if it doesn’t – check this on all cars that you are buying). Comes with owner’s manual, warranty and service book, leather cover and an additionally a printed shop manual for DIYers. The following tasteful
(IMO) features were added:
I do not have the original parts. Mechanicals
·
Comes with tool kit
with everything in it. Service History The car comes with a thick dossier
of service records dating back to 2002 -
unlike most auction cars which come with zilch! Key highlights:
I have done my best to be as descriptive of the car as possible. In summary, I think the car is in great shape, has been well looked after and will make a great first Ferrari for a lucky someone. Hopefully you! |

Glickenhaus' FIA championship-winning P4/5 Competizione comes home [w/video]
Tue, 06 Aug 2013The sexy Ferrari P4/5 Competizione, a cross between the lightweight F430 Scuderia and the race-only F430 GT2 with special Pininfarina bodywork, spent some time in Europe notching a few race victories. But it finally has made its way back to the US and into owner Jim Glickenhaus' collection, where it met its sister car and inspiration, the original P4/5.
During its short-but-sweet two-year racing campaign, it competed in just two races but left a big impact. We'd call any lap of the Nürburgring that's under seven minutes a victory, but, with the help of a hybrid drivetrain, the P4/5C qualified for the 2012 Nürburgring 24 Hours with a lap of 6:51. That's faster than any Ferrari-powered vehicle has ever gone around the 'Ring. The car then went on to win the EXP-1 class (for experimental vehicles), for a World Championship, and finished the race 12th overall in a field of 170 cars. Not bad at all.
For those who haven't kept up on the P4/5C, the hybrid powertrain was introduced to the one-off racecar for 2012 after it had attempted the Nürburgring 24 Hours in 2011 with negligible results. A Ferrari 4.0-liter V8 was joined by a Formula One-style Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS), good for a combined 563 horsepower.
1957 Ferrari 335S sells for $34.9M, still not most expensive Ferrari ever sold
Fri, Feb 5 2016Here's your reminder that the price of a good vintage Ferrari is absolutely staggering – the 1957 335S that just sold at an Artcurial auction in Paris for $34.9 million isn't even close to a record when it comes to Prancing Horses crossing the block. While this 335S still represents a hell of a lot of money, we're actually wondering why it didn't do better. For one, this car, chassis number 0674, has the all-important racing provenance collectors crave. It's been raced by legends Mike Hawthorne and Sir Stirling Moss. In its first year of competition, Wolfgang von Trips took it to second place at the Mille Miglia, while Peter Collins and Maurice Trintigant drove it to sixth at the 12 Hours of Sebring. It even recorded the fastest lap at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (although it retired with engine problems just 56 laps into the race). So yes, consider the provenance box checked. Besides famous racers and races, it was owned by some huge names in the Ferrari world, including Luigi Chinetti, the founder of the North American Racing Team and the first Ferrari importer in the US. But for the past 45 years, it was a part of the legendary Bardinon Collection, which was known for its wide array of high-quality Ferraris. While the 1957 335S falls short of the record-holding 1962 250 GTO sold by Bonhams for $38.1 million during the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance festivities in 2014, it's still one of the most expensive cars ever sold at auction. And hey, it even landed in the meaty part of its $31.2 million to $35.6 million estimated sale price.
Ex-Ferrari chairman sounds off on IPO
Sat, Aug 1 2015Former Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo preferred to put exclusivity over profits when he ran the company, and the lower volume still meant huge amounts of cash for the business. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne has since taken over Ferrari, but that hasn't stopped di Montezemolo from voicing his opinions. "I hope that the clients will remain more important than the analyst or the investor or the financial markets," di Montezemolo said prior to his induction into the Automotive Hall of Fame in Detroit, the Detroit Free Press reported. The former chairman argued that once on the stock exchange, a company would need to maximize profits quarter after quarter to keep investors happy. Conversely, di Montezemolo said Ferrari's years of success came from an "exclusivity in terms of number of cars, exclusivity in terms of how you deal with the clients." When di Montezemolo left Ferrari last year, he and Marchionne were scuffling about the future of the brand, including the health of the Formula 1 program. With the change in leadership, the company has reversed course in some ways. Where volume was previously kept around 7,000 units annually, the carmaker has set a new goal of closer to 10,000. The paperwork was filed for the IPO, and Marchionne thinks the company could be worth over $11 billion. The actual shares are rumored to go on sale in October. Related Video:
