I spotted this car in San Jose at Roselli's Foreign cars (a Repair Shop I have used over the years with a Dino 246 and Mondial) about 2 years ago and bought it. The car was It was originally from Texas, then it lived in Santa Monica. The car had 18,000 miles when I purchased it has 22,500 on the odometer. The car comes with a web site. E bay will not allow a hyper link, but if you search for "Ferrarri 348 GTS" it should come up. I have used it to store pics and videos that are not on this auction.
I have done a bit of work on the car, Roselli's put in a new clutch, etc. new starter, battery, we did a big fuel injector clean out. It is going in Monday for a new timing belt. That seems to be the main worry on these cars. The control panel for the heater is now working.
The car was super quick after the fuel injectors were clean. The car is great, runs very well, looks fantastic. I have the original window sticker for $121,000 and all documents and records. The car is missing the tool kit, I do have the manuals. There are a few very small chips in the paint, no dings or dents. There are a few chips in the front spoiler, I will add detailed photos soon.
I have the car priced at $48,500 I would consider trades up to $15k plus cash. Frank Balistreri, 405.375.0442

The spiders built by Ferrari have always been a perfect expression of their sporting heritage. It was this very heritage that inspired Pininfarina stylists as they set about designing the spider to clothe the refined 348 series chassis. The result was a car that offered the same impressive performance as the berlinetta, with a remarkably flex free chassis, as well as the possibility of true top down motoring. Ferrari spiders have always epitomised the marque sporting heritage. It was that heritage that inspired the designers when they set about clothing this superb chassis and running gear. The Pininfarina designed 348 Spider was the latest in this long and glorious line when it debuted in 1993. The two seater 348 Spider had a steel and aluminium body. The soft top was canvas and beautifully integrated into the car s line, thanks to in depth wind tunnel testing. It folded, in fact, into a compartment behind the seats using a system that didn t impinge on either on longitudinal occupant comfort or fuel tank capacity. Its interior volumes and driver position were designed for maximum comfort given its sporty set up. The seats and trim were a plush Connolly leather. The 348 Spider had a steel monocoque with differentiated tubular elements and a tubular rear sub frame for the engine suspension assembly. The suspension was independent unequal length wishbones front and rear. It had coil springs over gas filled telescopic dampers, and stabiliser bars. The steering was rack and pinion. The car also had self venting disc brakes with ATE antiskid. The mid rear 3405 cc 90 V8 engine was mounted longitudinally and punched out 320 hp. It had twin overhead cams with four valves per cylinder and a Bosch M 2.7 control unit. The 348 GTB also had dry sump lubrication, a five speed plus reverse transverse gearbox in unit with the self locking differential, and a single plate dry clutch.

Mansory La Revoluzione shows at least a little restraint
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Mansory has, yet again, taken a supercar and turned the dial up to 11. Or maybe 12 or 13. This time the base car is none other than the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, a V12-powered GT car. Compared to Mansory's previous Ferrari GT-based creation, the Rambo-inspired Stallone that had used both the 599 and 612 as its base, the new La Revoluzione is a welcome departure.
While the Revoluzione isn't what we'd call subtle, especially from the very front- and rear-most views, we appreciate the small amount of restraint Mansory showed when styling this deep red carbon fiber-bodied car, at least on the outside. As you can see in our image gallery above, the interior of this creation is quite loud and perhaps a little bit obnoxious.
We can't argue with the results seen underhood - claimed horsepower sits at over 1,200 from a twin-turbo 6.3-liter V12 engine. That many ponies pays the expected dividends in performance, with a 0-62 run of 2.9 seconds and a top speed listed at 230 miles per hour. See it yourself in our high-res image gallery above.
Ecclestone wonders if F1's upcoming turbo V6s should get augmented sound [w/videos]
Mon, 08 Apr 2013While every team on the Formula One grid is worried about making a good showing in this year's championship at the same time as they develop a brand-new car for next year's championship, Bernie Ecclestone and F1 circuit promoters have a different concern: how next year's cars will sound. The current cars use 2.4-liter, naturally-aspirated V8s that can reach 18,000 revolutions per minute and employ dual exhaust, next year's engine formula calls for 1.4-liter turbocharged V6s that are capped at 15,000 rpm and are constrained to a single exhaust outlet. Ecclestone and promoters like Ron Walker believe the new engines sound like lawnmowers and that the less thrilling audio will keep people from coming to races. If Walker's Australian Grand Prix really is shelling out almost $57 million to hold the race, every ticket counts. As a fix, according to a report in Autoweek, Ecclestone "suggests that the only way to guarantee [a good sound] may be to artificially adjust the tone of the V6s."
However, neither the manufacturers nor the governing body of F1, the FIA, think there will be a problem. Ecclestone fears that if the manufacturers "don't get it right" they'll simply leave the sport, but the only three carmakers and engine builders left next year, Renault (its 2014 "power unit" is pictured), Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari are so embedded that it would stretch belief to think they'd leave the table over an audio hiccup - if said hiccup even occurs. And frankly, these issues always precede changes to engine formulas, as they did when the formula switched from V10 to V8; fans, though, are probably less focused on the engines and more on the mandated standardization of the sport and the spec-series overtones that have come with it.
No one knows yet what next year's engines will sound like, but we've assembled a few videos below to help us all start guessing. The first is an engine check on an Eighties-era John Player Special Renault with a 1.5-liter V6 turbo, after that is Ayrton Senna qualifying in 1986 in the Lotus 98T that also had a 1.5-liter V6 turbo, then you'll find a short with a manufactured range of potential V6 engine notes, and then the sound of turbocharged V6 Indycars testing last year at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Any, or none of them, could be Formula One's future.
Watch Edo Competition pit a Ferrari FXX against a Maserati MC12 Corsa on the 'Ring
Fri, 03 May 2013High-zoot supercar tour organizer Gran Turismo Events held its annual Nürburgring track day last month, and in addition to the amateur punters the gates were opened to two tuned supercars from Edo Competition: A Maserati MC12 Corsa and a Ferrari Enzo ZXX. The ZXX, in case you've forgotten, is the same love child of Edo Competition and Zahir Rana's ZR Exotics that belly flopped into the Atlantic during the 2011 Targa Newfoundland.
We get a trip around the Nordschleife with both cars during a no-doubt quick but not insane lap, on board with driver Patrick Simon in the 755-horsepower MC12 and 'Ring queen Sabine Schmitz following in the 840-hp ZXX.
That should be all the build-up you need when the action's in the video below.
