1990 Ferrari 348TS TARGA Red/Tan

Item Condition: Good condition although needs engine and transmission

This auction is for my complete 1990 Ferrari 348 TS minus the engine and transmission.  This car can be used as a project car or for parts.  I have owned the car for over four years and the mileage displayed is 43K. 

Chassis/Suspension:  Chassis #ZFFFG36A6L0087125.  It brakes and steers good.  The car is equipped with relatively new WP Ferrari Challenge shocks and springs.  

Exterior:  The body is straight and the exterior red paint is in above average condition which still shines nice.  No known accidents or body repairs.  It has OEM glass with no rock chips.  The Targa top also seals well.

Interior:  The carpets are in good condition.  The tan leather seats have the usual wear and scuff marks.  This car is also fitted with 355 door panels that are in good condition other than scuff marks.  It has non-OEM window switches.  Passenger side electronic shoulder belt mechanism doesn’t move.

Powertrain:  The engine, engine harness/electronics, transmission and clutch were professionally removed and are missing.  I have sourced a reasonably priced transmission and clutch that is in excellent condition.  The car does have the rear drive axles and wheel hubs, as well as the OEM muffler with exhaust tips.

Electrical:  There is no engine harness/electronics included with this vehicle.  The chassis harness is included and the headlight and tail lights work as does the windshield wipers, and power windows.

Missing Items:  Engine, engine harness/electronics, transmission, clutch, rear plastic inner wheel wells, front trunk carpet insert, HVAC climate control display unit, rear center brake light, side Pininfarina emblems, and one wheel lug bolt.  There may be one or two other smaller items missing, although I’m not sure what they would be.

I have done my best to describe the car and any item that is missing.  There is no warranty expressed or implied with the car.   The car is sold as is and is available for local inspection.  In line with normal ebay practices, please ask all questions and complete all inspections prior to the auction ending.  Highest bidder must complete sale.  If you don’t agree to these terms please don’t bid on my car. 

Bidders with less than 12 feed backs must contact me prior to bidding or their bids will be cancelled.  A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours after the end of a successful listing.

Race Recap: Canadian F1 Grand Prix is one story with a thousand dramas

Tue, 11 Jun 2013

There were rain and wind and sun, sometimes all at once. There was the Wall of Champions. There was nothing happening in first place and nothing happening back in sixth during the race, but everywhere else - from the time the weekend began - it was surprises, passes, spins, more passing, flying carbon fiber and finally a couple more last-minute surprises. The Canadian Formula One Grand Prix was a proper race for all the right reasons... well, except for the part where the crowd booed the winner.

Ferrari vs. Ferrari: Cut convertibles unloved by collectors?

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

The New York Times' Wheels blog has a really interesting story on a pair of Ferraris that are set to be auctioned off in Monterey during the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. While the two cars are similar on the surface, their differing histories and Ferrari's attitude towards one of them has led to a sort of experimental auction process.
On the one hand, we have one of ten 1967 275 GTB/4 NART Spiders, in the classic Rosso Corsa and appearing at RM Auctions and seen above. On the other, we have a Fly Yellow version that started life as a 1965 275 GTB Coupe, and was converted into a NART Spider. Called a "cut" car, this particular replica is one of about 100 GTB Coupes that were converted into convertibles to satiate the climbing demand for ultra-rare Spiders.
This will mark one of the first times that an original NART Spider will go toe to toe with a replica of itself at auction, and will answer a number of questions about just how important provenance is in the collector car world. Head on over to The Times blog for the full story.

Drive inks 10-episode deal with NBC Sports Network

Tue, 20 May 2014

Today is a good day for Chris Harris, Mike Spinelli and Matt Farah, the hosts of the entertaining YouTube series Drive. The show has officially moved from the world of online video and become an actual, honest-to-goodness television show.
In addition to its YouTube exploits, which will continue, ten episodes of the show will air on the NBC Sports Network. The debut will run this Saturday, and coincide with NBCSN's coverage of the 2014 Monaco Grand Prix. From the sounds of it, this first episode should be unlike anything the trio could do on the Internet.
The team is going on a Top Gear-like trans-European adventure in a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series, a Ferrari F12 and a McLaren 650S. The three will converge on Monaco, and explore the legendary atmosphere that surrounds the principality when the Formula One World Championship rolls into town.
