You should never let a kid in a candy store unsupervised! Here at Road Scholars we buy what we like and we like all kinds of classic cars. This 328 GTS clicked all the buttons. The Ferrari has 7and#44;035 miles and is absolutely spotless. We have watched the prices for great low-mileage 328 Ferraris climb over the last decade just like they have for every other car with a prancing horse on the hood. But we rarely saw exactly what we wanted. Three owners from newand#44; this is the classic Ferrari color combo and its just plainly in extraordinary condition. The service records indicate it had a major service in 2008 and has covered only 62 miles since. The details attracted us to this car. The engine compartment has none of the yellowing discoloration from heat cycles as most do of these carsand#44; and it is exceptionally clean. Since it hadnt been serviced for 8 yearand#44; its going in for a complete service (beltsand#44; fluids etc.) and check over. The 328s have a reputation among Ferraristi as being one of the marques most reliable models. And unlike some other Ferrarisand#44; your mechanic doesnt need to pull the engine from the body for routine maintenance! The 3.2-liter 8-cylinder engine developed 270 horsepower at 7and#44;000 rpmand#44; where it made an engine sound to send chills down your spine. Acceleration from zero-to-60 miles per hour took 5.9 seconds and Ferrari claimed a top speed for these Spyders of 163 miles per hour. The things that attracted us to this particular car is the fact that its the last of the 328s with no anti-lock brakes (Ferrari introduced them in mid-1988 and this necessitated changes in suspension configuration and road wheel design)and#44; and its never been messed withand#44; not even a stereo! (As if it needed it? The music in your ears is that twin-cam eight right behind your head.) If you look at the prices for a Porsche 930 with similar mileageand#44; and take into account they assembled five times more of those than a Ferrari 328and#44; these cars are the bargain. Well even throw in a Detroit Tigers cap for the sunny drives. (For those Vuarnet sunglasses and Hawaiian shirts Tom Selleck wore? Check eBay.) |
