Some pics from a Sunday Drive

Personally, I think the front plate treatment is the best part

It is one of the best looking 348s I have seen.

 

Yep, I had just gotten a new targa top, a sick set of Cargraphic 19" Wheels and a Tubi, but I couldn't help but get caught up in the price drop of some other cars I had my eye one. Ended up trading it on a 550. Love the 550, but for what I got on trade, should've also kept the 348. Big mistake...

 

+1...that's exactly what I was going to say. Looks Incredible!

special ed
u got any parts from yr 348 hanging around.

That is a BEAUTIFUL 348.

 

u got any pics of the car with the 19 cargraphic wheels

 

No, I actually bought the wheels 100% brand new in the Ferrari Box's.

 

Wow, that's it #80 - before I owned it though! What issue is that (I have them all except for 2 since about 1985?)

When I got it, it didn't have the lip on it, so I added a carbon fiber front lip.

...just rubbing salt in the wound now

I sold most of the goodies already, although ironically I actually did just post a set of Hill 25mm spacers and a car cover today.

 

its issue date is
dupont registry
july 1998

im not trying to rub salt in yr wounds,
i want u to buy it back.
is the description of the car in the ad good enough to read?

 

That is gorgeous! I didn't know they made a silver SS...mine is # 79 by the way...

 

Could that car possibly be the Carl Lewis 348 SS.
I saw that particular car for sale in the Houston area back in the late '90s.
IIRC, his was a Silver SS Targa.

Awesome car!

 

Oh, fair enough then.

 

Terrific. Could you post the exact reference of your wheels. What's the size of your tyres?

 

since nobody else has pointed it out those wheels look great

 

Those are 18" BBS 360 Challenge wheels. Not sure of the exact tire size he is using.

 

Yes, I believe it is. When I was much, much younger, Cascade Porsche, which was near where I grew up between Akron/ Cleveland, Ohio had Carl Lewis' car for sale when it was almost new (probably 1994 or 5.) I really loved it (I think they were asking $105k at the time.)

When I saw this car, I was pretty sure it was his, but I couldn't remember if his was a speciale or not, but I only know of one other Argento one (non-Speciale with black rockers.) It had spent most of it's life owned by a doctor in Pa., then it got auctioned at Herhsey and eventually Lamborghini of Houston bought it from the new buyer who was in for more repairs than he realized and I bought it from them. It still needed allot of work when I bought it (more than I realized), but the engine and tranmission were great - perfect compression/ leakdown, but $22k later at Wide World and the rest of the issues were sorted (major service, a/c compressor, seat belt motors/ tracks, radio, rear window, sagging door hinges etc.)

Like I say, shoulda kept it...

 

when it pops up for sale again
grab it

 

Cool

I do remember seeing it in Houston, then.
I am sure his was an SS, as I had seen it advertised in the DuPont Registry as such.

 

Yup! Looks great!
