1994 Ferrari 348 Spider With 10838 Original Miles. on 2040-cars
Queen Anne, Maryland, United States
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 -

Ferrari recalls 458 Italia because its trunk is a dangerous place to stow kids
Tue, 23 Sep 2014Ferrari is recalling 3,000 458 Italia and Spider models and, believe it or not, it's not because they may catch fire. Nope, instead, the issue focuses on anyone that's unfortunate enough to become trapped in the Ferrari's perilously small frunk (front-mounted trunk).
Apparently, should someone find themselves trapped in the car's nose, the interior release handle only lets loose one of frunk's latches. That means that while anyone held captive by the V8-powered supercar won't be in danger of suffocating and will still be able to call for help, the cars are still ultimately in violation of federal safety mandates.
According to Uncle Sam, should someone become trapped in a trunk, like a child, they must be able to open the trunk from the inside and escape. That can't happen in the 458.
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.
Meet the man whose house is designed around his car
Tue, 21 May 2013It's been a couple of years since we last heard about Holger Schubert and his award-winning office/garage, but it looks like the city of Los Angeles, thankfully, did not force him to tear down the bridge that gives his Ferrari 512 BBi arguably the nicest parking spot in California. Petrolicious is back again with another well-done video, which finally introduces us to Schubert as well as his lust-worthy Ferrari.
As for the structure, it is half garage and half work space with an office, couch, bookshelf and television, and one hell of a view. There is a ramp that raises to allow the Ferrari to roll backward out of the garage before starting up on the aforementioned bridge that sits 16-feet above the ground. The car itself is an equally admirable piece of art, with a wedge-like shape and its reserved dark gray hue. If you're not the jealous type, scroll down to meet Schubert and his incredible Ferrari.
