1994 Ferrari 348

1994 FERRARI 348 SPIDER CONVERTIBLE/GATED 5-SPEED MANUALFerrari introduced a two-seater roadster after two decades of absence on that niche market: it was the 1993 348 Spider, a sports-car that brought more smiles per miles than any other Ferrari from those times.Inside, the two-seat roadster featured a new interior and instrument cluster. Its orange-on-black dials were easy to read. The steering wheel column was adjustable on height and featured a longer travel than on the non-facelifted 348 model. On the center console, the carmaker installed the gear-stick on the metallic gate-pattern. The black center stack featured the controls for the climate control system and a hidden compartment at the top for a stereo.This outstanding 348 Spider hails from 1994 and is one 1,090 convertibles built in the short, two-year production run. It has covevred just over 32,000 miles and boasts well-documented history from new. It was initially sold in Pennsylvania and, by 2003, made its way North East to Connecticut and has spent the last 18 years and 9 months being pampered in private luxury and climate controlled living quarters in Minnesota. Accompanying documentation shows consistent service of this 348 through the years, and the current mileage is documented via the service history. It came into the care of the most recent owner in 2005, who maintained it superbly in his private collection.The cosmetic presentation is authentically presented with excellent original Rosso Corsa paint over natural beige leather trim, factory-correct 'throwing star' wheels, and a black top. It is refreshingly standard, with no cosmetic or performance mods that sacrifice originality. The body is straight and crisply detailed, and a clean Carfax report backs the impeccable condition and low miles. The exceptional interior is a particular highlight. Original beige leather is excellent, with only slight wear noted on the driver's side outer bolster. The leather-trimmed dash, instrument binnacle, and door panels are all in great condition, as are details like switchgear and controls with NO STICKY BUTTONS to report. The only notable deviation from standard spec is the SONY AM/FM/CD receiver fitted behind the original hinged cover which only enhances performance by sound and BlueTooth technology. Factory original tools, owner's manuals, tire inflator, top boot, and storage bag accompany the sale.The 348 represents an outstanding value in the world of mid-engine Ferrari sports cars, and few have survived the years as beautifully preserved and unmolested as this collector-quality example. This outstanding 348 is turn-key and ready to enjoy in a wide range of events, from Ferrari Club of America shows to weekend tours or carving your favorite B-roads.Under the hood, Ferrari installed the same 3.4-liter V-8 engine as on the non-facelifted version but added some modifications that increased the power up to 320 hp from 300 hp.
