Hey Guys,

 

Tomorrow I am looking at a 1994 348 GTS, a very uncommon car around here being a late car sharing lots with the early 355. Its  a LHD (Which I prefer) and available right now with fresh cambelts for 22,000 pounds which at todays exchange rate is about 32k USD. That's about market price for the car right now. Has 40000 miles, is Red/Black, no rust and in good nick.

 

355's will cost about 35k (pounds right now) and a good 360 45-50k pounds max (even a Spider). I know one Spider that just sold for 32k pounds here locally.

 

Don't really love the 348 but for 22k with a fresh service its a LOTTA car for the coin.

At the right price, almost any enthusiast car is worth a shot....

I would say if they kept the manual steering and heavier controls of the 348 onto the 355, then perhaps you can say the 348 was truly a Ferrari anomaly. I would almost say the 355 would have been the perfect V8 F-car save for the lack of torque. ;)

But 308/328 feel with 355 performance, and it is that rare unique quality of the 348 that keeps me from ever writing it off completely.

Has the 348 become the Dino 308 of the modern age? Loved only by those who own them. :)
