    I have been searching online, but they are obviously a very rare car. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    ok cool.

    I'm assuming you are after a road going version? If so, I don't know of any that are in the US (there might be, but I don't know of one) refer www.348gtc.com under the chassis number section for information that was known as of about 5 years ago (I don't think the site has been updated since then).

    That means you are left with finding and importing one from either Europe or Japan (though not many in Japan either) other cars are RHD and are located in UK and Australasia.

    There are a number of sites you can trawl in Euraope, 1 or 2 come up for sale each year but remember you are probably fishing for one in a pool of 37 cars maximum (in Europe).....so best of luck!!

    Thank you for the information. I had no idea that there were almost none in the USA - How many are there including race-only versions?

    Might be expensive to legally import one here in the US until 2019.

    I looked at it .... michelotto does not recognize this car as their car.

    I posted in that thread years ago ...it was longer than last year.

    The ad mentions that the 348 Competizione they have for sale has 'Rod' gear linkages, rather than cables.....interesting if true, could that be a design we could retrofit to standard 348's?

    Darren, you're more informative than Keith Bluemel's "Original Ferrari V8". My sincere complements.

    Haha...thanks. I love Bluemel's book and most of what he wrote about the GTC is correct. Unfortunately, there is very little available information available either via the factory or other sources (best of which is the website above) but after 5 years of ownership I have been able to discover a thing or 2 about them :)
