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.

Watch Chris Harris drive the Ferrari 458 Spider like an "idiot"
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Chris Harris gets to abuse his fair share of cars that we can only dream about driving, so why not add the Ferrari 458 Spider to that list. After somehow borrowing the keys to a Ferrari-owned 458 Spider, Harris spends about five minutes driving the 570-horsepower, open-air supercar like an "idiot" (his words, not ours).
In reality, it's impressive to watch the $257,000 (base price) 458 Spider being drifted and pushed hard into every turn. Not surprisingly, the car handles the "bad behavior" very well, but what is amazing is how easy it is for Harris to talk to the camera despite the top being down and the engine being at full throttle almost the entire time.
If you like watching Ferraris get sideways, you will most certainly enjoy Harris' video, which is posted below.
Race Recap: 2014 Malaysian F1 Grand Prix [spoilers]
Sun, 30 Mar 2014The Malaysian Grand Prix is always one of the jokers on the Formula One calendar: you know it's going to rain during the weekend, but you don't know when. This year it began during qualifying, the dammed up clouds over the Sepang track dumping their reservoirs just before Q1 and causing a 50-minute delay.
The conditions helped Infiniti Red Bull Racing close the gap on Mercedes AMG Petronas and split the Silver Arrows cars, Sebastian Vettel lining up in second on the grid behind pole-sitter Lewis Hamilton, ahead of Nico Rosberg. Fernando Alonso recovered from a suspension-damaging incident with Toro Rosso driver Daniil Kyvat to take fourth, followed by the second Red Bull of Daniel Ricciardo in fifth, then the off-form Kimi Räikkönen in sixth in the second Ferrari, Nico Hülkenberg in the Force India, star rookie Kevin Magnussen in the first McLaren ahead of Jean-Eric Vergne in the Toro Rosso, and Jenson Button in the second McLaren finishing up the top ten.
After that, though, the clouds decided they were done with F1. Save a few drop at the final corners during the race, the track stayed completely dry. And except for the beginning and the end, for the most part, so was the race.
Race Recap: 2014 British F1 Grand Prix readjusts the balance of power
Mon, 07 Jul 2014Qualifying for the British Formula One Grand Prix was just as much a surprise for fans as it was for teams. Certain team weather radar displays didn't accurately pinpoint storm systems over the track, and in the case of at least two teams, the lack of data was compounded by poor decision making. That's how both Ferraris and both Williams got kicked out of qualifying in Q3 - the drivers already on track took advantage of a dry spell between rains, but Ferrari and Williams waited too long to get back out, and by the time they did it had started raining again.
Rain-induced bewilderment hit the front of the field as well. When all appeared resolved in Q3 but the clock hadn't yet run down to zero, drivers including Lewis Hamilton and Daniel Ricciardo pulled into the pits thinking the day was done. However, a drying last sector of the Silverstone circuit meant the drivers still out could suddenly improve their times by four seconds in just that sector. When the bell tolled, those who fought to the last were those who lined up first: Nico Rosberg in the first Mercedes AMG Petronas, Sebastian Vettel in the first Infiniti Red Bull Racing, Jenson Button in the McLaren, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Force India and Kevin Magnussen in the second McLaren.
Hamilton had fallen all the way to sixth on the grid, a mortifying blow to his race and his championship challenge. He was followed by Sergio Perez in the second Force India, Ricciardo in the second Infiniti Red Bull Racing, Toro Rosso teammates Daniil Kvyat and Jean-Eric Vergne completing the top ten.
