    Having sold my 328 4 yrs ago. Im feeling the begins of Ferrari fever again. The 328 was a great car and the perfect first Ferrari. I did lots of homework and bought it from Ferrari of Houston. I was the second owner and the car had 3900 miles on it when I bought it. I sold the car to the GM of Ferrari of Denver 2 years later with 11,000 miles on it. Great car and not a single "issue" My only complaint was the car was so friggin perfect I would drive it everywhere in fear some one whould hit me and It was hard to take anywhere for fear of leaving it in a parking lot. This brings me to my question. I'm finding alot of relatively inexpensive 348TB "previously raced in the Challenge Series" Can these cars be made Street legal again? I live in Massachusetts and we have pretty stringent Emissions testing. Im really looking for a 348 Coupe as a summer well "beater" No worries of parking lot dings, concours, or road rash.... Just pure driving fun. Any feedback/opinons would be welcome!

    I have no plans of changing out the rollcage, wings, decals, paint NOTHING but what is required to make is a street legal sled.

    Thanks again

    Do you know Martin in Florida? He's handled a BUNCH of Challenge car deals..

    As a street car to begin with the 348s are probably the easiest to put back legal, but I don't know exactly what would be involved, other than mufflers obviously..

    Having watched the series in those years, you certainly WON'T be the first one to scratch it!

    There was an unraced yellow/black example in the Dallas area for sale for a long time.........at a dear price.......
