    or

    Not sure how this question can be answered. What is your definition of alive? Cars that are not totaled? Considering not every wreck is claimed through insurance or in some countries insurance doesn't even exist it's hard to find out. Or is your definition of alive how many cars are still running? Because it's impossible to know how many are still running.

    It's not a limited production car they made 25 of where keeping track is easy. 348's are everywhere (by exotic car standards)

    I'd love to know this as well and agree it is impossible to find out. If only more people would add their car to the registry :)

    That question passes through my mind fairly frequently. Being the owner of SS #64. I am curious how many Speciale's are left. My guess (based on nothing) is between 1 and 2% loss per year. That would mean about 80 or 85 of the original 100 remain. Of course its not that easy since these cars are generally owned by people that have the means and desire to bring them back from the edge. I do have a fairly accurate list of SS serial numbers and I know where 20 of them are thanks to FChat but I have no means of counting the missing

    I know that the ferrari 308qv series has a web sight that lists every 308qv ever built and people send in information about the cars they know of? Maybe someone could list every serial number and people could send the information about that car?

    You probably aren't old enough to remember Smokey and the Bandit, but if you are...you are in the 348 Rocking Chair.

    Personally, I'm only interested in finding out where the other black 348GTB in the UK is. :D

    Here's a few more 348's from a meet last year.

    Hey Sy, is that top in good shape? I might want a back-up. Hm, what color are the driving lamps? Can you say "Scavanger Hunt?!!!"

    Sweet. I'd be all over a set of driving lights, but don't let the brothers know about this, um, oops, oh rats. ;)
