Spider exhaust. and the drop down main gear. ” This is a blue chip investment due to only increase in value as Ferrari models drastically escalate like the Dino Ferrari – which wasn't even a rare limited edition. Five years ago Dinos were around $65K to $95K and today a basket case brings around $200K with prime examples in the realm of around $365K and more for the flairs and chairs model. (In the 1970’s the Ferrari Dino 246 GT's carried an MSRP of $14. 00 ) NADA guide book values for a 92 or 93 Serie Speciale are : average retail: $49. 00 high retail: $78. 00. Serie Speciale Specifications: “The car was limited to 100 examples and was only sold in North America. And according to some sources there were only 35 Ferrari 348 TB Serie Speciale coupes manufactured with the remainder being the 348 TS (removable targa top which usually leaked)! The differences between the Serie Speciale and a regular 348 is as follows; The front spoiler was redesigned for aerodynamics. now having a little reverse curve ahead of the front wheels. as well as a lip along the front edge that could be replaced after the inevitable ground scrapes became unsightly. This spoiler was now body-colored. as was the rear skirt. rocker panels and front portion of the engine cover (all were matte black on older models). This is sometimes referred to "Speciale paint" in ads for older cars that have been repainted in this scheme. The front grill was redesigned. and a chrome prancing horse was added where there was no horse on the front of earlier cars (a front license plate holder had occupied this space). The black horse on the rear grill of earlier models was changed to chrome. and. for what is probably the most distinguishing external feature of the 348 SS. the Testarossa-like slats covering the taillight assemblies were removed. In the interior. the standard Frau seats were replaced with leather-covered Carbon/ Kevlar F40 type sports seats (although some customers specified the standard seats). The door panels were also redesigned and now in leather. The color of the leather on the doors and seats was coordinated with the carpet and roof liner. On the center console radio cover. the script that said "348 tb" (or ts) on the older cars was replaced by a small plate that read "Speciale tb" or "Speciale ts. " There was also a special ID plate on the passenger door-post that listed the number in the series (i. e. No. 019 of 100) along with the engine and chassis s/n and the ts or tb designation. Pirelli P-Zero's tires were fitted all around. in place of the P700Z's or Bridgestone RE71's found on earlier cars. The rear track was widened by 50mm from 1578mm to 1628mm by adding 25mm of offset to each wheel. and the final drive was shortened from 26/27 on the earlier cars to 25/29 on the SS. A taller fifth gear was fitted (early cars having p/n 70000592). to maintain top speed with the new lower main gear installed. The SS had a new free-flow exhaust system credited with the car's quoted increase to 312 bhp (sometimes quoted as 320) from 300 bhp in the '89-'92 models. This is often called the "Spider exhaust" but it actually made its first appearance on the Speciale. ”“The 348 is an extremely overlooked Ferrari. It embodies many of the old school Ferrari virtues in that it rewards good driving skills and punishes the uninitiated. One of the last true driver's cars. before Ferrari went soft with the 355. ” Value: $50. 00 - $100. 00 The Collectible Cars "Share and View" Photo Gallery – Ferrari 348 Serie Speciale – The New York Times.
