Ok, finaly purchased a 1991 348ts, Silver, from Steve Harris Imports in Utah, the car should arrive here in Los Angeles, Tuesday July 1st.
I used to have Grundy/Chubb insurance, I still have the policy but when I totaled my 328gts, they did try to get out of paying the claim, by stating that the car could only be driven in club events and "parades". What the @*&#, got a lawyer and he took care of that, does anyone have the same deal with Grundy/Chubb? Cant wait till the next drive you guys have in the Southern California area. I will be there. |

Albert,
I have a friend who owns Pacific Automotive Group who has a white 348ts as his personal car. He knows the history of the whole car. Call him if you are interested (805)641-9545 or try [email protected]
Tell him I referred you. He/car is located in Ventura

A 348 in need of a 30 k check up. That poor car is not on the road much. Sad. |

348's rule... esp over 308's!!! (j/k)
Albert... it's a personal preference, in my opinion. I've heard that 328's are one of the most reliable ferrari's out there, but that's not to say that a well-maintained 348 can't run just as problem free. Go for the 348... you will love the change! |

Don,
I am looking for the brighter silver color, I think FNA calls its Argento? I have recently subsrived to the Ferrari Market Letter also.
Thanks for all your help, I have been reading this post for about a year now, I cant wait to go on one of your drives, especially when I replace my 328. I keep hearing what a bad rap some 348's have, if well maintained are they as
reliable as a 328? |

I saw that 348 Spider in Redondo Beach, it was very very clean with 16K on the odometer, in need of a 30K service and he would of took 65K.
I just think they are more of a boulevard cruiser, sorry to offend anyone with a spider but I really like the lines of a ts or gts much better then a spider. By the way I did call about the 328 in the LA Times, its resale Red with Tan interior, if anyone outhere is looking for RED.... My search continues... |

Thanks for the info on the 328 in LA Times, I will call and find out about it, maybe its silver.
It took me a long time to find a clean silver 328, bought it 2.5 years ago at Symbolic in La Jollay, it was clean. I also thought about an NSX, nice cars, especially when you get above 6000 rpm!!! |

Albert... sorry to hear about your car... those kinds of stories are always tough to swallow. I had my silver NSX totaled a little over a year ago b/c some idiot fell asleep at the wheel and rear-ended me!!
I'm sure you'll find a replacement soon enough... we'll keep an eye out for a good one for ya. ;)

About 3 months ago, I had the misfortune of having someone make a left in front of me. Unfortunately for me, my 1987 328GTS was totaled.
Grundy was not all that I expected but they did finaly pay off the loss. I am looking for a replacement, 328gts, Silver, or perhaps a 348ts again Silver in the Southern California area, anyonee outhere know of any available? |
