My 348 is my first Ferrari. I've considered selling it for a newer model in the past. Drove a 360 and found it bland and very boring to drive in comparison. like the 430 and thought about getting a black one and putting a Scuderia bodykit on it (with a stripe of course!!! ), but seeing prices nose dive, glad I didn't. I also realised that I don't use even 80% of the 348's performance, so getting something more powerful would be pointless. My 348 does everything I need of it and it's relatively easy to maintain, so I'll keep it for another 20 or so years hopefully. Hence why I keep modding and upgrading it.
1988 328 GTS was my first. It was a dream come true ! Today the 355B seems so much different to me , I love the ride,handling,sound,power,comfort, and and I will probably keep it for quite a while, but if a clean early 360 Stradale comes around you never know !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoLd5d7gLrU
The 355 was my first Ferrari and took me 15 months to find her. Cheers !! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
A 348 was/is my first Ferrari. I actually wanted a 85' 308, black or white over tan, but my wife saw a 348 at Italian Carfest down in Grapevine 4 or 5 years ago and it got her excited. Since that rarely happens, I bought one. It's been a great car, no real problems in 4 years.
Have put 15000km on it in the first 2 years including 20 track days and to work every day in the summer. This summer is the 30k engine maintenance (car has almost 70000km on it). Fantastic drive, incredible sound (Tubi sport exhaust). Open air? What could be better. Well, I always loved the 360 ease and power. I've driven several in my instructing career and love them. But gotta save. plus getting rid of the serie speciale seems like such a wrong thing to do. http://ferrari348registry.com/Ferrari_View.asp?pVIN=093732 Picture is from showing the car at the 2008 FCA International Meet Hagen cream/black on Nero #14 of 100 93732 Image Unavailable, Please Login
My 1998 F355 Berlinetta was my fourth Ferrari. I will be keeping this one! IMHO, the F355 is destined to become a "classic", highly desirable Ferrari (even given the relatively high production numbers). My first was a 1981 308GTBi (Euro).
F355GTS is my first. No intention on selling it, especially after they finish with my major service and my wallet!!! Would like to add a 550 but probably won't be to soon. HOwever if a good deal came up on an 89 328 I might bite.
Love what you did to the car! Are those 360 wheels that you had painted. Man, I 've been following the 348's for a while and believe it or not if the deal were right I would sell my 360 and get a 348 just so that I can mod it to my own taste. Anyways, don't sell your car , it's beautiful.
First was a 1989 328GTS Red/Tan #81967 - Bought that in June 2005--------Needed MORE power!!! Sold that in Sept. 2006 to another Fchatter and bought the 355 in October 2006----Love the 355, but everything is for sale for the right price!!!
308 to 328 to 348 to 355. All 2nd owner (translation poor w/expensive taste) I will stop and keep the 355 because I love it best of all. If I can successfully knock off enough 7-11's in the next few months and quit eating and chop my own wood for heat, I'll try to get a 550. An 8 cyl drop-top go-cart and a 12 cyl big torque GT would give me about all I could hope for. Hard to beat 550 pricing right now. Gotta go, the ski mask is gettin' itchy!
................ does your wife or girlfriend know you think that way Robbie ........... +1 ............. Since I can't get a real one anytime soon ........... I would love to have a 308/328 with a 288 GTO body kit w/extended wheel base and a nice 355 engine in it ........ ................ oh yeah ................ in nero ..................
Oz, while I admit you do have some amazing ideas, this one is so good, I think you shoud do it!!!!! That would be perfect, 355 sound 288 looks 308 price tag, don't let Pap find out about this idea, he will be your first customer!
My First is my 94 348 Spider, I have no intention of selling it, as far as adding to the stable, I have access to a few cars that I help "babysit". It is a great relationship. Ferraris NEED to be driven in order to stay in top shape, my buddy lets me keep them running, so with that said. In our garage we have a 73 Daytona, 83 BBi Boxer, 03 575M Maranello (non ferraris Cobra and a 63 Vette) And my 348. So here is the Kicker. Of all these cars I would rather drive mine. The 575M is silly fast, (no where to drive a car like that here in NY) but it isn't "exciting" to drive. The boxer is very uncomfortable, OK performance, great looker, but I still prefer my car. The daytona, well its a Daytona, if I could afford one I would keep it in a garage also, just take it out to shows. So that leaves me to what would I add to my collection. A 550 Barchetta, or a 430 Spider....
my 348 spider is my first Fcar. As for selling it if I bought another one like a F430, I dont know if I would or not. Would depend on how much extra cash i had laying around and if i went with another spider or not.
Nice car and similar to mine 078/100 except my seats are crema too and it's a 1993 model year. Very cool wheels too. I am glad that you dirve the thing too.
An '86 328GTS was my first, then ~4 years later I sold it and got my '98 F355 Spider. No plans to sell, but would love a V12. A 275 or a Lusso would be sweet!
First was a 348 ts and second is the 348sp I have now. She's a keeper, may add a R35 or 360sp one day.
Oh Yeah! I would kill for a 275 GTB/4 or better yet, a 275 GTB /C. It's really too bad Lusso prices have risen so dramatically over the past 4-5 years. At one time, about 4 years ago, I could have purchased a near-perfect, restored Lusso for $85,000. Do I wish I had pulled the trigger.
