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.

Barrett-Jackson 2014: Michael Schumacher's 1998 Ferrari F300 earns round of applause, $1.7M bid [w/video]
Sat, 18 Jan 2014There isn't much in the world that can aurally match the screeching wail of a Formula 1 car at redline. We obviously can't say whether or not the showmanship of starting this 1998 Ferrari F300 in front of the assembled masses at Barrett-Jackson and slowly taking it up to its 18,000-rpm redline had any effect on bidders, but it did, at the very least, result in a round of applause.
This '98 Ferrari F300 was driven 38 times by Michael Schumacher, and there was another round of applause for the driver, who's currently in a medically induced coma and listed in stable condition after a skiing accident. This particular example is number three of nine total built for the '98 season. Power comes from a 3.0-liter V10 engine producing 805 horsepower at 17,500 rpm.
After it was all said and done, bidding ended at $1.7 million (plus another 10 percent in fees). Check out our live images from the auction floor above, and scroll down below for a spine-tinglingly loud auction video and to read its official description.
Race Recap: 2013 Japanese Grand Prix flips several scripts [spoilers]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Japan's Suzuka circuit is a great track that all the drivers love, but it doesn't usually provide the most thrilling, head-to-head racing. Where it does excel, however, is with surprises and "What just happened there?!" moments, and this year it was no different.
It started with Mark Webber in his Infiniti Red Bull Racing out-qualifying his teammate Sebastian Vettel for the first time this year. They were followed closely by Lewis Hamilton in the first Mercedes-AMG Petronas, the still-solid Romain Grosjean again outdoing teammate Kimi Räikkönen, Felipe Massa racing for another seat in Formula One and putting his Ferrari in fifth, then Nico Rosberg in the second Mercedes, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and Räikkönen continuing to do himself no favors by qualifying tenth.
For the second year in a row, the lights going out was the cue to start the first corner action...
This is the amazing Christmas wonderland Ferrari builds for kids every year
Sun, 23 Dec 2012Granted, when we think of a "Ferrari Christmas Wonderland" our dreams naturally manifest something like a red FF with a bow on the hood and keys on the seat, parked in front of a Fiorano Circuit that's ours for the day. A guy's gotta dream, right?
But, luckily for a lot of beaming children and their grateful, non-selfish parents, Ferrari's gift back to the people of Maranello is far more festive. The Italian automaker clearly pulls out all of the stops for its annual Kids Christmas party to celebrate the season. The event, which sees the Ferrari grounds transformed in to a veritable amusement park in a holiday theme, seems pretty massive of scale and impressive in its detail.
