My '91 Ferrari 348 tS - 7 month update
 

It was 1984 when I saw my first Ferrari - it was a blood red TR with a single mirror. I was hooked to the brand then and there. It took me 22 years since to actually buy a Ferrari - that too a little sister of the TR.

I bought a 1991 348 TS today from Steve Harris Imports in Salt Lake City.It has just over 15000 miles on the clock. I am gonna drive it down to Houston on a 3 day cruise starting tomorrow.

Did the PPI and got compression numbers ranging between 174 and 178 on all cylinders and a lead down of <5%. With numbers like that purchasing the car was a no brainer. The only thing not working is the clock but who cares anyway.

The car looks pretty sweet though not concours quality for sure. But I love it to death! :)

I will try to post some of mine later including those of a super sweet 312PB at the dealership

I would like to thank Sean Harris and Michael Call for making the purchase process simple, painless and worryfree. I was in great hands throughout. I would wholeheartedly recommend this dealership to anyone!

TT, Give me a day or two to post the picture of the manual and stuff.

Congrats. I think that in many ways the 348 is a more honest and pure car than the 355 was.

Here it is undergoing the leakdown test ...

Afterwards I had some guys come in and install a clear bra to protect the front end from road debris

- Steering wheel spacer to bring the wheel a bit closer to me

Why didn't you buy that? :P You could have used the 348 money as a down payment ;)

At $2mm+ a pop, I think I might have got a wheel or something in exchange for the 348... I did get to sit in it though. It was awesome!

Man those F1/Sportscar guys must have had tiny waist and butts - my 34" waist struggled its way in :)

Rental for 15 minutes? ;)
