Hello and thank you for looking at my Ferrari. I want
to provide you with as much information about this vehicle as possible. If
there is anything that you would like to know that is not listed here, please
let me know, and I will respond to your questions.
I am the third owner of this vehicle. The first was from Connecticut and purchased the car from Miller Motorcars in Greenwich Connecticut. It was purchased on August 26, of 1993. He traded it in to the same dealer at the end of 2001. It was then purchased by the second owner, a fellow from Annapolis, MD, at the end February of 2002. At the time of transfer, the vehicle had 4,339 miles on it. I purchased it from the second owner in 2010, at which time the vehicle had just over 8200 miles on it. The car has always been stored inside. It has been serviced at 2 Ferrari dealerships, Miller Motorcars in Greenwich Connecticut, Ferrari of Washington, and by Competizione in Gaithersburg, MD. I had Competizione do a pre-purchase inspection and subsequent major service. I have all service records for the car. The last major was extensive. The major items were timing belt, Hill bearings, OEM water pump, Tubi Evo stainless exhaust, Hyper-flow catalytic converters, silicon hose set, new tires all around, and much more. The major service is paper and photo documented. The front air dam was pulled and repainted due to some scraps. Skid plates were added. During this time all the plastic interior parts where removed and refinished by Sticky-No-More. All total more than $20K was invested. Since this work, the car has been driven about 2,000 miles. This car needs nothing and is near museum quality. It has a few after market items, such as a steering wheel
that can easily be return to stock, I have the original parts. The steering wheel was changed and a hub
extension added to make the car more suitable to its current, quite tall,
driver.
Tires are new and there is no curb rash on any of the rims, period! Condition is subjective and of opinion. Please feel free to
inspect the photos and come and see the car yourself. That said I am in no hurry to sell it. I'm not leaving for a while (still preparing the boat). This is probable the best example of a 348 you will find. I believe this car will only grow in value over the years. Yes, you can find cheaper ones, but to get one in this condition and with such low miles is difficult. You get what you pay for and I think this car is fairly priced. Please don't waist my time with low ball offers, and please no tire kickers looking for a joy ride. Again to repeat, this car is clean, clean, clean. The engine bay is beautiful. It still has the insulation in place on the under side of rear deck engine hatch. Often on 348s it is missing or falling apart. The interior is a 10 and the leather is gorgeous, including the driver seat. That's hard to find. Of all the 348s, the 1994/95 Spiders are the ones to own. If you are considering the 348, you need to see this one. Yes you can find cheaper, and and then spend twenty grand getting it up to the standard of this car, but then you'd most likely still have a car with more miles. This car, with such low miles, can be bought, enjoy for some years, and you'd still have a high value low mileage car to sell.
All parts removed from the car, such as exhaust, cats,
steering wheel and such, should you wish to return the car to fully stock. The following is some general information for those not familiar with the 348 -From the my348 website - "You've got to drive this car! The Ferrari 348 Spider elicits waves, honks, stares, and constant calls from nearby motorists and pedestrians alike. Ordinary drivers morph into paparazzi, turning their digital cameras and video recorders on to film your every move as you drive by with the top down." The Ferrari 348 is a mid-engine, rear wheel drive, V8-powered 2-seat sports car. It replaced the 328 in 1989 and was produced through 1995. More than 8,000 348s were produced and sold worldwide. Only 556 Spiders were imported to the U.S. The car's straked side air intakes give it a Testarossa look (because of this it is sometimes considered a kid brother to the Testarossa). The 348 features a naturally aspirated 3.4 liter version of the quad-cam, 4-valve per cylinder V8 engine which was originally found in the 288 GTO supercar. In the early models the engine produced 300 hp (224 kW). It sits longitudinally with a transverse gearbox, like the Mondial T with which the 348 shares many components. This was a major switch for Ferrari, with most previous small Ferraris using a transverse engine with longitudinal transmission All 348s were shipped with dual-computer, double-redundant Anti-Lock Braking systems. All 348s were shipped with on-board self-diagnosing Air Conditioning and heating systems. U.S. 348s have functioning on-board OBDI engine management systems. Similar to the Testarossa but departing from the BB 512 and 308/328, the oil and coolant radiators were relocated from the nose to the sides, widening the waist of the car substantially, but making the cabin much easier to cool, since hoses routing warm water no longer ran underneath the cabin as in the older front-radiator cars. All Ferrari 348s use racing "dry-sump" oil systems to prevent oil starvation at high speeds and in hard corners. The oil level can only be checked (accurately) on the dip-stick when the motor is running due to this setup. Likewise, all 348s have independent, corner-adjustable ride/height/weight adjustment abilities built into each suspension, as well as a removable rear sub-frame to speed up the removal of the engine for maintenance. The Spider version came out in 1993. The 348s had many improvements from 1993 onward, featuring subtle styling changes and more power, this time producing 312 bhp (U.S) and 320 hp (Euro) from the same 3.4 liter engine (different exhaust). The lower body was now body-colored instead of black and the rear track was one inch wider due to the addition of spacers. The suspension geometry was revised which greatly enhanced its super-car-level handling, ride, and body control. The alternator was upgraded and the battery moved to a better location to improve balance. I believe the 348 Spider hits the sweet spot in the Ferrari line up. It has pretty much bottomed out in its deprecation curve, and has begun to appreciate. As with all Ferraris, condition, good maintenance records, mileage, and a well documented history make all the difference in price. 348 Spider -

Ferrari officially teases successor to Enzo throne
Fri, 14 Dec 2012You're looking at our best view yet of the upcoming successor to the Ferrari Enzo. Rumors kicking around the web insist the new reigning monarch of the Italian kingdom will carry the "F150" name when it bows, otherwise known as the Special Limited Series. Word has it Ferrari has focused all of its experience in Formula One to create the new model. According to the manufacturer's official online magazine, the new ultracar will boast a carbon fiber monocoque chassis built in "an almost handmade style" using four types of the composite. We aren't sure exactly what that means, but the design should keep weight to a minimum.
Power should come courtesy of an 800 horsepower V12 engine married to a HY-KERS system good for an additional 100 hp. Early estimates say the creation will tip the scales at under 3,000 pounds, which means the vehicle will be a performance marvel. Sounds like a party.
Stellantis ready to kill brands and fix U.S. problems, CEO Tavares says
Thu, Jul 25 2024Â MILAN — Stellantis is taking steps to fix weak margins and high inventory at its U.S. operations and will not hesitate to axe underperforming brands in its sprawling portfolio, its chief executive Carlos Tavares said on Thursday. The warning for lossmaking brands is a turnaround for Tavares, who has maintained since Stellantis was created in 2021 from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA that all of its 14 brands including Maserati, Fiat, Peugeot and Jeep have a future. "If they don't make money, we'll shut them down," Carlos Tavares told reporters after the world's No. 4 automaker delivered worse-than-expected first-half results, sending its shares down as much as 10%. "We cannot afford to have brands that do not make money." The automaker now also considers China's Leapmotor as its 15th brand, after it agreed to a broad cooperation with the group. Stellantis does not release figures for individual brands, except for Maserati which reported an 82 million euro adjusted operating loss in the first half. Some analysts say Maserati could possibly be a target for a sale by Stellantis, while other brands such as Lancia or DS might be at risk of being scrapped given their marginal contribution to the group's overall sales. Stellantis' Milan-listed shares were down as much as 12.5% on Thursday, hitting their lowest since August 2023. That brings the loss for the year so far to 22%, making them the worst performer among the major European automakers. Few automotive brands have been killed off since General Motors ditched the unprofitable Saturn and Pontiac during a U.S. government-led bankruptcy in the global financial crisis in 2008. Tavares is under pressure to revive flagging margins and sales and cut inventory in the United States as Stellantis bets on the launch of 20 new models this year which it hopes will boost profitability. Recent poor results from global carmakers have heightened worries about a weakening outlook for sales across major markets such as the U.S., whilst they also juggle an expensive transition to electric vehicles and growing competition from cheaper Chinese rivals. Japan's Nissan Motor saw first-quarter profit almost completely wiped out on Thursday and slashed its annual outlook, as deep discounting in the United States shredded its margins. Tavares said he would be working through the summer with his U.S. team on how to improve performance and cut inventory.
2016 Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix recap: another wild show on and off track
Mon, Apr 18 2016Normally we use this space to provide a lengthy recap of the weekend's Formula 1 race, but we're going to try something different since most folks reading this know what happened at the Shanghai International Circuit on Sunday. Instead, we'll alight on what we saw as the big issues in and around the race. Let us know what you think in Comments. Proper qualifying is back. Thank goodness. It only took a month of embarrassment to fix it. And so is passing! For the third race in a row, big performance improvements at the ten teams behind Mercedes-AMG Petronas and a wider tire selection at this race graced us with opening stints filled with dicing cars. Seeing the McLarens on screen doesn't make us cringe. Manor doesn't only make the global feed when it's being lapped. We've been complaining about parade races for so long that we forgot excitement was possible without rain or wholesale regulation changes. Yes, Mercedes is still the king of the jungle, but there are some other proper midfield beasts on the hunt, too. Malfunctions up and down the grid did help the show in Shanghai, like Lewis Hamilton suffering perpetual troubles, Nico Hulkenberg's runaway front wheel which red-flagged Q2, and Sebastian Vettel's and Kimi Raikkonen's flubbed hot laps in Q3 that let Daniel Ricciardo slip by into second on the grid. Come race day things went all Grand Theft Auto at Turn 1 on the opening lap, sending some of the best cars to the pits. Then came Ricciardo's puncture while leading, then came the Safety Car – all by Lap 5. Nico Rosberg got 38 seconds of airtime on the way to victory – at the start and the finish, and that happened to be his margin of victory, too – otherwise he was a ghost. Everyone else was struggling and juggling. Rosberg's win at the Bahrain Grand Prix put the German at five consecutive victories going back to last year's Mexican Grand Prix. The history books show that any driver who's won five straight contests has gone on to win the championship. With his triumph in China, the German has won the season's first three races, the history books again show that the other nine drivers who've pulled that off have gone on to win the championship. Rosberg, 36 points ahead of his teammate in the standings, is having none of it. He said of the other victors, "But they didn't have Lewis Hamilton as their team-mate." Perhaps Mercedes was right not to make an engine deal with Red Bull last season.
