Good Ferraris are rare, better Ferraris are harder to find and then there are special Ferraris like this one. MotoeXotica Classic Cars is very proud to present this 1990 Ferrari 348 TS Targa Conversion. Originally manufactured in Maranello, Italy, this model is extra special because it is one-of-a-kind. It was delivered new to Thoroughbred Motorcars in Nashville, Tennessee. The car was then sent to R. Straman Company in Costa Mesa, California for conversion to a convertible spider model. Straman is considered the best at Ferrari Spider conversions. The total investment cost in this unique model was $151,550. This is a two-owner Tennessee car and has always been stored in a garage. It was the final V8 mid-engine model developed by Enzo Ferrari before his death, commissioned to production posthumously. Dressed in Rosso Corsa (code 300), the car’s paint and trim are in excellent order. There is, however, a blemish at the driver’s side rear bumper. The car’s windows are in very good shape, clear and crack-free although the convertible top is misaligned at the passenger side window. The car’s lights, including its pop-up headlights, are in very good condition and work as intended. This Prancing Horse rolls on Pirelli radials, size 225/40ZR18 in front and 255/40ZR18 in rear. Each radial is wrapped around special ordered Speedline Wheels that were designed and supplied by Ferrari. As you might imagine, the tires and wheels are in fantastic condition. All of this stallion’s bodywork is solid and straight, its bumpers fit well to the body and the engine bay is very tidy. Under the rear hood is a mid-mounted 3.4L DOHC 32-valve V-8 engine with Bosch Motronic 2.5 port fuel injection, making 300 horsepower and breathing through dual exhausts and quad tailpipes. This sweet engine is buttoned to a transverse-mounted five-speed manual transmission. Driver convenience features include air-conditioning, four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock, power door locks and power mirrors. In addition, the car has a leather case with hand tools and a trouble light. Inside, the car’s tan leather bucket seats are in excellent shape while the matching carpet is in very good order. The black-over-tan instrument panel is in very good order, as is the three-spoke steering wheel with the prancing horse logo in its hub. The inner door panel, mirror glass, center console and gated shift lever are all in similar condition. The 348, badged 348 tb for the coupé (Trasversale Berlinetta) and 348 ts (Targa) and the 348sp (Spider, or Convertible) versions, features a normally aspirated 3.4-liter version of the quad-cam, four-valve-per-cylinder V-8 engine. As with its predecessors, the model number was derived from this configuration, with the first two digits being the displacement and the third being the number of cylinders. The engine, which produced 300 horsepower, was mounted longitudinally and coupled to a transverse manual gearbox, like the Mondial t, with which the 348 shared many components. This was a significant change for Ferrari, derived from their immensely successful 312-T Formula 1 racecars, with most previous small Ferraris using a transverse engine with longitudinal transmission. The “t” in the model name 348 tb and ts refers to the transverse position of the gearbox. The 348 was fitted with dual-computer engine management using twin Bosch Motronic ECUs, double-redundant anti-lock brakes and self-diagnosing air conditioning and heating systems. U.S. spec 348s have OBD-I engine management systems. Documentation includes books, records and original window sticker and invoices. This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 3,074 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title.
