This 1991 Ferrari 348tb was purchased from the Mercedes dealer in Hagerstown, MD, in November of 2007. The car did not have any mechanical records at the time, but there are good records of the work done since then.

The exterior of the car is finished in "Corso Rosso" and was repainted sometime in 2007, shortly before the car was purchased. The repaint was not done to Ferrari standards, but the paint itself is in good shape with some stone chips on the front and a spot over the front right wheel well that need touch up. The four wheels are in very good condition. The front tires are new (replaced at 40,578 miles). The rear tires have good tread but are old and should not be trusted if racing the car. The doors are solid but the passenger door could use a minor alignment adjustment. The power windows work well, as an accelerator was installed in 2009 to speed up the notoriously slow window up/down process this model has become known for.

The interior is in average condition for a car of this age and mileage. The dash vents have all been renovated as they were suffering from Ferrari's "sticky plastic" problem. The carpet and mats show wear, but they are clean and without holes or stains. The tan leather on the dash and doors in is great shape. The seat leather does show some wear, particularly the driver's seat. That seat has been "re-dyed" at some point in the past and you can tell that the dye is beginning to wear through and there are clear signs of age on the driver's bolster. The headliner, both cloth and leather, is in great shape.

Mechanically, this car is in great shape. The engine out belt service was executed at 40,214 miles by Ferrari of Washington shortly after purchase and the engine still screams today. The clutch was worn when the car was purchased and a new clutch was installed at 40,783 miles. The exhaust was also bad upon purchase and was replaced at 41,251 miles. The A/C was completely rebuilt in June 2012.

Ferrari LaFerrari is so nice, we say it twice [w/poll]

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

Forget about the F70, the F150 and the F150th Italia - this is the Ferrari LaFerrari. Earlier this morning we got our first official look at the successor to the Enzo throne, but now we bring you live shots of the LaFerrari straight from the Geneva Motor Show floor.
There is nothing about this car that isn't impressive - from its 949-horsepower hybrid powertrain returning breakneck acceleration to the aggressively curvaceous body creating a new evolution of design for the storied automaker. The best part of the LaFerrari's design is that there is no single focal point, but one of the more interesting elements of the car is its canopy-like cover protecting the occupants. Every detail of the car has been perfectly sculpted into the carbon fiber body creating an appearance that is probably only outdone by the car's overall performance, which Ferrari promises will include a top speed more than 217 miles per hour and a 0-62 mph time of under three seconds. Ferrari says the LaFerrari will be its fastest street car ever.
While it's hard to make criticisms about of the LaFerrari, there will undoubtedly be many regarding the car's name, but with a design and performance numbers like this, we're sure this car could've been called the Ferrari LaBradoodle and all 499 examples of the hybrid supercar would've been snatched up just the same. After checking out the details posted in a press release below, let us know if you think the Ferrari LaFerrari is a worthy successor to past Maranello supercars like the F40, F50 and Enzo.

Incredible French barn finds could fetch over $18M [w/video]

Sat, Dec 6 2014

We all dream about taking a drive and discovering the mythical barn find of a vintage Shelby Cobra or Porsche Speedster hidden way under a sheet, totally forgotten. An upcoming auction from Artcurial in France on February 6 proves that these treasure troves still really do exist, and this might be one of the ultimate barn finds ever. Decaying away on a French estate, there was a collection of about 100 dirt-covered cars that had been undisturbed for decades, according to The Telegraph. They included all of the great European marques, like Bugatti, Porsche, Maserati, Ferrari and many more. Most of the vehicles were underneath a shed but generally exposed to the elements; however, two very special sports cars were hidden away in a garage (pictured above). In there was a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider with covered headlights. It was one of just 37 made and thought to be lost. Beside the Ferrari was a 1956 Maserati A6G Gran Sport Frua. The collection belonged to Roger Baillon, a French transport magnate, according to Artcurial. He amassed this wonderful collection, but when his business fell on hard times in the '70s, Baillon sold part of the group off. These were the ones he kept, but they eventually went forgotten. Artcurial thinks that only 60 of the cars are actually in salable condition, and they cross the block during the Retromobile Salon in February. The auctioneers believe the Ferrari could sell for as much as 12 million euros (14.74 million) and the Maserati for 1.2 million euros ($1.5 million). Check out the gallery to glimpse the breadth of classics in this collection. Be sure to scroll down for a must-watch, gut-wrenching, patina-laden video showing off the collection and for Artcurial's press release about the sale. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ferrari to offer 458 examples of new Speciale Spider

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

Talk about first-world, one-percenter problems: you want to get a new Ferrari, you've even settled on the 458, but you can't decide between the Spider and the Speciale. It's a tough call, we know. But your pain will be over soon, if the latest rumors are to be believed.
Those rumors have it that, at an exclusive preview event for select customers at Pebble Beach this past weekend, Ferrari showed off a new 458 variant that combines the best attributes of the 458 Spider (namely its folding hardtop) with those of the 458 Speciale (those being its 600-horsepower engine and other go-fast bits).
Succeeding the similarly exclusive, best-of-both-worlds, F430-based 16M Scuderia Spider, the new 458 Speciale Spider (or whatever it's ultimately called) is said to be limited to 458 examples worldwide, and is expected to be unveiled to the public at the Paris Motor Show this coming October.
