1986 Ferrari 328 GTS
VIN ZFFXA20A3G0060303
Grigio Metallizato with Black Leather Interior

One of the last Ferraris engineered and launched during Enzo Ferrari's lifetime, the 328 succeeded the highly popular 308 for the 1986 model year and offered an increased displacement V-8 and a myriad of detail improvements throughout. The mid-engined 328, offered in both hardtop (GTB) and Targa/Spider (GTS) forms, featured an upgraded 3.2-liter V-8 putting out 270 horsepower, thanks to a sophisticated Marelli electronic ignition system and the retained Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection. The styling was freshened with new door handles and tidier and more modern treatment to the front and rear fascias both of which gained body color bumpers. The interior was significantly reworked as well, with new switch gear and revised dashboard and door trims. Production of the 328 ended in the fall of 1989, marking the end of the transverse mid engine Ferraris, a line that began with the 246 Dino. Nowadays, 328s are revered for their blend of usability and comparable reliability, as well as the comparative ease of servicing since the engine does not need to be removed to perform a belt service. 

This car had one long term owner who serviced the car fastidiously from 1992 to 2013. That owner purchased the car at Lake Forest Sports Cars in Illinois and brought the car with him when he moved to Palm Springs in 2008. He serviced the car consistently, including a belt service in 2009 and another belt service in August of 2011 at 57,348 miles. The water pump was also rebuilt at the air conditioner serviced with new compressor and receiver-drier. The car had a recent complete repaint in its original color (due to aging of the original finish rather than accident damage) and the wheels were also refinished.

The car is in excellent cosmetic condition. The paintwork was done to very good standards and is virtually unmarked, with minor orange peel in certain areas and a handful of small marks but extremely fresh presentation overall. The body is straight and displays proper panel fit, gaps, and operation. The wheels were refinished and are excellent. The glass and lights are in very good condition with minor road wear to the front windscreen.

The interior is in good original condition. The dashboard is excellent. The leather upholstery is generally good, with minor wear to the driver’s seat bolster and a small hole in the same area. The leather is intact and free from cracks but is a bit hard. The carpets are in very good shape with the only significant blemish being some cracking to the binding on the driver’s floor mat. The switches and instruments are in good original condition.

The engine compartment is tidy, clean, and detailed to good standards. It is stock in appearance and shows minor aging to some painted components but presents extremely nicely overall. The trunk is in good shape with nice original carpet although the zipper on the cover is broken. The front compartment is in good original condition with original plastic liner, spare, and mechanical components such as fan motors and windscreen washer reservoir.

This is a great opportunity to acquire a well-maintained 328 GTS that is up to date on service and finished in an attractive and unusual color combination. 328s have been enjoying significant appreciation in recent years and as such they represent excellent opportunities for investment potential thanks to their blend of relatively modern operation and performance with the attractive economics of classic cars. It was owned by the same fastidious owner for over twenty years and is complete with books, jack, and service records back to 1992.
