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.

John Lennon's first car being sold at auction
Thu, 09 May 2013This is what you get as your first car after you've just passed your driver's test at the age of 25: a 1965 Ferrari 330GT 2+2 Coupe. Of course, that's assuming your name also happens to be John Lennon and you've just helped record Ticket to Ride with the rest of your Beatles cronies.
When news of Lennon getting a driver's license made the newspapers in England, luxury car makers parked outside his mansion with offerings and this is the one he chose, painted Azzuro Blue with a blue interior. He paid 6,500 pounds, said to be equivalent to 110,000 pounds today ($170K US).
Bonhams will be auctioning the blue Italian at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed on July 12. It was just one of 500 built, has been restored to its original condition, has matching numbers and its original license plate number. The pre-auction estimate is between 180,000 and 220,000 pounds ($278K - $340K US).
Ferrari chief staying on to launch new models in October
Tue, 09 Sep 2014Luca di Montezemolo has been running Ferrari since 1991. That's a whopping 23 years already, and having been born the same year that Ferrari was founded, Montezemolo is now 67 years old. But don't expect him to be stepping down any time soon.
Addressing the rampant rumors circulating the paddock at Monza this weekend, the hereditary Marquis of Montezemolo (pictured above at the unveiling of the 458 Speciale in Frankfurt last year) insisted that he is not about to leave Ferrari. Not before 2017, anyway, having signed as recently as this past March to stay on another three years. (After that, it's anyone's guess, with some suggesting that controversial Fiat scion Lapo Elkann could take his place.) But in dismissing the rumors, the affable and long-serving Ferrari chairman did reveal some new product plans.
First of all, according to racing site Autosport.com, Luca confirmed that the Prancing Horse marque "will present a fantastic new car" at the Paris Motor Show next month, widely expected to be a new variant of the 458: either the new Speciale Spider or the turbocharged 458 M. While he was at it, though, Montezemolo also revealed a new limited edition model to be presented in California.
Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."
