348 production numbers etc

Hi there,
you may look here. There's a bit to read and learn about all the models.
Good luck on your search.

hello,

i'd suggest checking out FORZA magazine issue 30. it has a 348 buyers guide
also keith bluemels "origonal ferrari v8" is very informative. his stats are as follows;
348 tb 89'-93' 2895
348 ts (targa) 89'-93' 4230

also consider the following;

348 serie special 12 92's 88 93's 15 94's

348 spyder numbers are not totaled. but the 94's were actually built and sold in 1993 and the 95's were also built and sold in 94. theres a handful of 1994 coups that were sold as GT's which included racing roll cages and other modifications for the track.

from my extensive research on this model, i've come to these conclusions;

1) avoid the 89 and 90 models
2) ferrari got it right in the 92 model year with numerous upgrades and improvements
3) serie special also has numerous upgrades but the seats & tail light are a love/hate relationship.
4) spyders are considered the best of the model run.

just my $0.02

According to this thread there were 1100 Spiders built.

 

1090 were built.

 

Not true!
There were 15 '94 SS's.
There were 32 '94 TB's also known as factory challenge cars but only about half ever got the challenge kit. The rest were road cars. Ditto for the 13 '94 TS's.

Forgive me, but were these total production numbers or production numbers just for importation into the US?

 

not at all production 348 for all countries.
you have a special Us production only 50 units. see below the SN.

 

not 50 but 80 Units. sorry

 

All this arm chair 'research' is rediculous. I have owned a very early '89 for almost 16 years and it has been bullit proof. The updates and recalls as well as services have all been performed. As a result, it has been a great car. The care and pride of any car is reflected in how it operates.

My brother and a friend of mine were both 348 shopping. The friend found a '93 with no records and a dubious past for ~$48K. My brother found a '90 that was well cared for, had extensive records, etc for $70K. I advised my bro to buy and my friend to run. They both bought. My brother has had almost 4 years of happy, trouble free Fcar fun and my friend has spent an additional ~$30K geting the car 'right' and he still owns a car with a checkered past and sketchy records. Who made the right choice?

Unless you have personal experience with something, the .02 should be kept to yourself. All it does is confuse people who otherwise may be able to make a rational discision based on facts.
