    First, I wanted to take a minute and thank each and everyone for your support and your friendship. It has been a pleasure having you and your posts in my day to day Fchat visits.

    I wanted to hold out as long as I could from posting but deep inside me, I know the time has come when she will be taken away from me as she will find someone that may take her far away. She will never see the sadness in my smile as I say good bye. I will always remember the days we had together.

    She is the perfect example of a road driven Testarossa. She qualifies for garage queen with books and records reflecting to early 90s. While under my ownership, she has been given care and most of the services were completed by Ferrari Dealer "The Auto Gallery".

    Most recent services within last 3 years include:
    Near $30,000 for these services alone.
    1. Engine Out (this was the second engine out in her life)
    2. Complete Ferrari new clutch including flywheel, T.O. Bearings.
    3. Complete replacement of steel injectors
    4. Replacement of right rear wheel bearings
    5. Regular oil changes.
    6. Near new tires installed last year.
    7. Seat belt recall complete.
    8. Right Rear wheel bearing replaced.

    Prior to my ownership:

    Full documentation available upon request. She was well cared for by a very reputable Ferrari specialist who came recommended to me by Eugenios. She had an engine out, Tubi installed, 512TR wheels, stereo and much more.

    Paint & Interior:

    The interior is all original red ranking 9 out 10 in condition with no dash shrinkage, light wear to the driver side bolster, original spotless carpeting.

    The exterior paint was original at purchase time with the exception rock chips re-spray to the bumper and the hood.

    Extensive detail, paint correction and re-spray was completed in September of 2013 by Dave at Premier Motorsports when she was in an accident. Over $30,000 was spent to re-respray the driver rear quarter panel and refinish the car to be show ready. The repairs also included replacing the left rear quarter panel and the radiator. There were no frame damage. Please see my other post for full details on the accident.

    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/california-nevada-southern-sponsored-fast-cars-ltd/421938-big-thank-you-dave-premier-motorsports.html

    I purchased her with 15,000 documented miles 7 years ago. At first, I was just everyone else, wash and wax and count the miles. Soon after, temptation won me over where I got to fully enjoy her for 7 years and happy $30,000 miles. I have no hesitation to take her on long 500+ miles drives. She has been as reliable a Honda each and every time I have driven her.

    This is not a fixer and in fact she can complete with others and put many garage queens to shame. For those who don't know me here, please take your time and research my previous posts, you will find ton of information about my TR. I have nothing to hide and I am not selling a lemon. Please respect her integrity.

    Title in hand from day one and asking $69,950. You can email me at [email protected].

    All offers made must be supported by proof of funds at the time offer for consideration.

    Thank you in advance for your consideration.

    Fantastic car. You should add the photo from my "tires" thread in the TR section, it really shows how well the 512 wheels look.

    Thank you guys for the kind words and your support.

    I was in touch with two Fchat buddies who have expressed interest in the past and waiting to hear back. Also, I received a dealer call today.

    Blake, that you for pointing out the picture from the Tire section, so here it is.

    Curtis, I am dealing the best I can with the back issue.

    Robbie, I expect you to write my good-bye love letter when she gets to leave me.

    Brad & Steve, I have yet to find an ugly TR... thank you for the compliment

    Eddie, brother it was nice seeing you at lunch yesterday. The very short drive from VG to my office added to the back pain. I really can't deal with the clutch. Each time I press down, I am pushing my leg back to my spin. Another F car? I was thinking more a Bentley or a Cadillac for now until my back heals.

    GLWS Haig, this is a very nice car in a great color combo. One of the combo that got my attention very much when I saw it in real. Someone will have a nice car.
    I hope you will recover from the back pain.

    What a fantastic looking car Haig. If I didn't already have two 348's one for sale here I'd be thrilled to have your car. A TR is on my must....scratch that....will have list. Might be a while for me if I want to stay married though.
    Heal up and best of luck with the sale.

    Cheers!

    I was looking into 575 F1, seats were still low. I am most likely will commit to A Bentley GT. Far more comfortable for now.

    A previewed your car and a complement from you feels like I won an award. Your 348 is simply sick looking... in a good way that is... :) GLWS as well buddy.

    Thank you for supporting the sale and the combo. It was love at first sight and unexpected purchase at my end when I saw her. The previous seller was Fchatter and an owner of many Fcars. He had her in for an oil change and next thing I know, the shop owner called me and introduce me to him and a deal was done in 5 minutes.
