Some of the features of the 348 Serie Speciale were carried over to the 348 Challenge (also known as 348 CH), such as Speciale paint, chrome Cavallinos front and rear, 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 andndash; whichwasnteven 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 1970andrsquo;sthe Ferrari Dino 246 GTs carried an MSRP of $14,500) Serie Speciale Specifications: The car was limited to 100 examplesand was only sold in North America.

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-coveredCarbon/KevlarF40 typesports 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 |
