For European Buyers, only 38,500 Euros! You get what you pay for. This 328 may cost more than some of the others out there but she's worth it. Not only is she in spectucalar condition, but she has a motor rebuilt by a Ferrari dealership just 2k miles ago! The engine is basically new. This is an extremely rare and particularly striking 328, while only 6068 328GTSi were manufactured over four years (Ferrari has mass produced 16,000 Ferrari 360s), this model is particularly rare. She’s also covered just 26k miles. Just 2k miles ago her motor was completely rebuilt by a Ferrari dealership. Why? I've spoken with the prior owner who had the motor rebuilt and he said the motor had some oil leaks. He'd brought the car to an independent shop and they disassembled the motor then apparently couldn't put it back together again so he brought it to a Ferrari dealer and the entire motor was rebuilt to the tune of $10,000. So this 328 has basically a new Ferrari engine in it! Of course, there are receipts from the dealer for the rebuild. There are also other service records as well.
Dealer installed new clutch at 14k miles. VIN # ZFFWA20B000059507 This Ferrari was imported and sold by famed Ferrari collector and race Joe Marchetti. Owned by Dentist from 1994-2004. The interior of this car is nearly new. If you were told this car was six months old you would look at the interior and agree. The original carpet is the best I've ever seen of an original Ferrari carpet. The door panels, dash and console are impeccable. The rear area around the window was redone with a much nicer material to replace the ugly oem potato sack like material. The seats have brand new leather as you can see from the photos. However, they were fine even before being re-leathered. I have photos of the original seat covers, they're soft and without any tears and they will come with the car as well. This 328 also has the most extensive set of tools and original accessories I've seen (photo). Not only does it have its jack bag and tool bag, but the tool bag appears totally complete. The jack bag even includes the original spark plugs that fit in their proper places, as well as the jack and jack related tools. Also included is the pouch and Ferrari light which plugs into the cigarette lighter (between the tools and jack equipment). Also included is the light and fuse holder (the round green object in the photo). Of course, the owner's manual is included as well along with its Ferrari leather case. You may notice she looks sharper than an ordinary 328 and you’re right, she is. She’s just as Pinin Farina intended her to be! She’s a pure European model. Look closely and you’ll see the significant differences. First, the ordinary 328 looks nose heavy, like there’s too much overhang, and it’s true there is because Ferrari lengthened the front bumper for the US market. The European model does not suffer this heavy handed imbalance (remember how MG addressed the new bumper laws by jacking their cars up like trucks and sticking ugly black rubber bumpers in place of sweet chrome bumpers). The same is true at the rear as the US bumper is longer while this Ferrari has the shorter Euro bumper making the 328 car look sharper as Pinin Farina intended. The USA cars have, under their rear bumper, a grill which protrudes oddly. Well, it’s true, Ferrari literally just backed out the grill on USA cars! Look at this European model and see how it smoothly integrates into the lower bodywork while at the same time fitting rear fog lamps no less! The USA cars also suffer from ugly “flag” style rectangular mirrors which conflict with the 328’s svelte lines. This model has the smoothly integrated mirrors, which are also power operated. Motor, the English auto enthusiast said of the 328: “In our book, this is still the most beautiful of all contemporary exotics—a gorgeous looking car.” But the benefits are not limited to looks only, this car is nearly F355 fast! (My daily driver is an F355). First, the Euro 328 weighs just 2806!!! That’s 357 pounds lighter than the USA model which weighs in at 3163. The benefits of this light weight are felt in lighter steering, faster braking and higher cornering speeds as well as improved acceleration. By comparison, the 300 hp 348 weighs 3207 dry. The European 328, stock, makes 270 hp, 10 hp more than the USA model. The USA car did 0-60 in 6.0 seconds with ¼ mile at 15.1 seconds. The Euro 328 goes 0-60 in 5.5 seconds and runs through the ¼ mile in 14.2 seconds (both cars top out at 153). But this baby is not stock! She features a professionally installed Paxton supercharger that boosts horsepower to 340-350 hp, making her 355 fast. The nice thing about this system is it can be totally removed and easily put back to stock if the subsequent owner so desires as the electronics and fuel injection system remains essentially stock. The Euro 328 also features a significantly larger trunk and a special space saver spare tire. The Euro 328 runs cooler and thus more reliably than the USA model. According to the publication Sports Car Market, “In my opinion the 328 is the best built, most reliable Ferrari ever. Period. It is the product of a dozen years of 308 experience. It was solidly constructed with a steel body welded to an oval tube frame. It featured simple Bosch fuel injection, a go/no-go electronic ignition system and an engine you serviced without removing from the car. Most important, it was the last Ferrari that could be repaired by a good import shop. The following generation of V8 Ferraris evolved into temples to high tech gadgetry. When something goes wrong with one of these technological marvels, you have to truck your car to an authorized Ferrari dealer—they’re the only place that has the computer necessary to fix your car.” Through 1986 it was legal to import European Spec Ferraris. The law was changed closing the door to these stunning vehicles. This vehicle represents the end of that era. My favorite cars off all time, dollar for dollar, are the Euro 308 QV and Euro 328. The Euro 328 are very rare with something like 100 examples in the USA today. I’d estimate there may be 10-20 Euro 328 Ferraris in the USA. These cars are spectacular to look out and will out perform the $150k to $200k Dino in everyway: Performance, fit and finish, etc. This rare 328 has just 26k miles, tool roll, jack bag, space saver spare and owners manual. AC and Power Mirrors work. Power windows actually go up and down relatively quickly (unlike many Ferrari 308/328). The paint is spectacular. It simply looks too good to be original. As you can see from the close-up shots, stone chips are essentially non-existent. She shifts smoothly in all gears, including second when cold. Zero play in steering. Doors close with a solid clunk. Suspension is tight and she brakes smartly. Engine idles smooth and quietly yet she hauls butt! The 328/308 was the evolution of the Dino had was designed by the very same designer of the Dino. Its design strikes the perfect balance between grace and aggression. This 328 has the power to back up its traffic stopping looks! Interestingly, many Ferrari experts believe the 328 was the best of the recent Ferraris. They are cheap to run, rugged, don’t brake down and you could spend hours drinking a cup of coffee and just stare at them! Their ruggedness is not surprising considering the 328 was a further development of the 308 which had been around for ten years before the 328 came about. In July of 2002, Classic & Sports Cars (well-respected British publication) reviewed, among others, the Ferrari 328, and stated: “drive one and you’ll realize it is the best of the late 80’s Ferraris, far superior to the entry level Mondial, Miami Vice poseur Testarossa or the wooden-chassised 348. Styling wise, its an evolution of the 308and is a shape that is clean, unfussy and pure Ferrari. the addition of fresher looking front and rear restyles…At driving speeds, the experience is pure 308. There’s that familiarly light and communicative steering and the urgent engine, which, though uninspiring at first, transforms into pure drama as the revs rise. Once you start to push on in the 328, the improvements over the earlier car show themselves and the 328 reveals itself as a true supercar. With 30 hp more than the last of the 308s, performance is truly astounding, yet the car is always composed and refined, and the brakes, though this is a pre-ABS car, always provide huge retardation. Another joy is the viceless handling and grip from those fat, low profile tires.” If you’re like me and appreciate rolling sculpture, and as shown by the photos, that's what this car is, and find the 355s front-end styling bland and uninspiring (not to mention its well known motor problems daunting) and find 360 to be large and blocky (Have you ever seen a 328 side by side with a 360? The 360 is BIG compared to the svelte 328. The 328 door is hip high, the 360s is several inches taller. In fact, this 328 is 10 inches shorter than a 360, 7.5” narrower and its roof 5” shorter than a 360 spider) then this car is for you. Here’s a chance to get classic looks with modern get up and go. Why invest in the stock market when you can enjoy your Red investment? Think of this: Scarcity creates value. Over the next decade more than two billion new potential buyers will come on as the China and Indian market mature. Imagine what will happen to older Ferrari values when the current Ferrari market of less than one billion (Europe-USA-Japan) swells to more than 3 billion! Now's the time to invest in a Ferrari. Stocks go up and mostly down lately as they're little more than educated guesses about a company's (and the Country's) economies future. Besides, you don't get a literal piece of the company! Housing is local market dependent. Ferraris are an international commodity. They're desired from Beverly Hills to Beijing. They're not making any more 328 Ferrari while they continue to mine for new gold and diamonds. India, China and Russia, the emerging economies, will add nearly 3 billion consumers to the 1 billion current Ferrari consumer category (USA-Europe-Japan). As those economies strenghten there will be an ever increasing demand for older Ferraris. Supply and demand set price. Dinos are pushing past $200k. The same designer who designed the Dino did the 328 and the Boxer. The Boxer has gone up 100% in the last few of years. Not many stocks do that! Even the unloved 330GT 2+2 has gone from $30k to upwards of $100k! I say get your Ferrari now while you can and the 328 is arguably one of the best looking Ferraris of the last forty years and one of the only remaining older Ferraris under $100k (for now). Enjoy your investment. You only live once!
