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 -

Why newly independent Ferrari may be forced into fuel-efficient cars
Tue, 04 Nov 2014The repercussions from Ferrari's pending transition into an independent automaker won't be understood for some time, but one of the biggest consequences could be that the iconic Italian marque will be forced into building more fuel-efficient vehicles.
As Wired points out, while Ferrari built fewer than 7,000 cars in 2013, its status as a public company could trigger pressure from shareholders to build more six-figure supercars and grand tourers. In turn, doing so could lead the company afoul of US Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards, which dictate that any company that sells over 10,000 vehicles needs to maintain a certain fuel economy average across its fleet or risk fines.
With arguably its most popular model, the 458 Italia, hitting just 17 miles per gallon on the highway and its most efficient model, the turbocharged California T, stuck at 18 mpg, Ferrari isn't in a great place to hit the government's mandates (which are somewhat convoluted as Wired explains). The gist of the situation is that Ferrari will either need to continue limiting the number of vehicles it sells each year - a move that's certain to upset shareholders and irk its boss, Sergio Marchionne - or radically improve the fuel economy of its cars at the risk of performance. Rock, meet hard place.
Ferrari LaFerrari XX confirmed, seen lapping the 'Ring?
Thu, 17 Apr 2014Ferrari makes road cars and they make race cars, but the automaker found a middle ground somewhere in between when it launched the FXX in 2005. Homologated neither for race or street, the FXX emerged as Maranello's first customer development prototype, "allowing" well-heeled clients to test new components for the factory from behind the wheel of one of the most extreme performance machines Ferrari had ever made.
The FXX was based on the Enzo, and was succeeded by the Fiorano-based 599XX. Given the apparent success of the program, we knew it would only be a matter of time before Ferrari would roll out the next XX prototype. But what would it be based on? The Enzo-succeeding LaFerrari? The F12 Berlinetta that replaced the 599 GTB Fiorano? Or another model entirely, like the 458 Italia, FF or California?
Well now we appear to have our answer. Speaking during the Ferrari Racing Days (an extravaganza of cavallinos prancing around a different racetrack each year, held recently in Sydney), Antonello Coletta confirmed that development is underway on a LaFerrari XX. And he ought to know, seeing as how he's the head of the company's new Sporting Activity Department that overseas all of Ferrari's on-track activities - including the XX program. The news was confirmed by Ferrari in correspondence with Autoblog. Oh, and perhaps because of the spy photos you see above, which were shot recently at the famed Nürburgring track, showing an unpainted LaFerrari of some sort making fast laps and testing various tire options.
Ford GT40 makes historic return to racing at Goodwood
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Is there a more iconic, American racecar than the Ford GT40? That may be a discussion for another day (although by all means, tell us how wrong we are in Comments), but this video of heaps of GT40s running in the Goodwood Revival races certainly has us thinking that Ford's Ferrari-killer might just be the best racer the Land Of The Free and Home Of The Brave has ever come up with.
That's completely ignoring the fact that the GT40 was largely developed by Brits using American money, but that's besides the point (there was also a rather brash Texan, who had a big role later in development). The resulting vehicle was dominant, besting the cars of Il Commendatore from 1966 to 1969, although it should be noted that Ford's GT40 was unable to beat Ferrari in its first two Le Mans outings in 1964 and 1965.
Those four years of dominance, which started with Ford sweeping the podium, were enough to establish the GT40's legend. And now, here we are almost 50 years later, celebrating the mid-engined monsters at Goodwood, in their first ever one-make race. Take a look below for the entire video.
