1986 Ferrari 328 GTS

Many will always desire to drive and own a Ferrari in their life and experience something that is remarkable not only in driving but also to sit back and admire a piece of art that sits in your possession. Taking much of its design styling from the 308, the 328 exhibits several subtle differences from its predecessor, including body-color bumpers that are integral to the valance panels, a slightly smaller front grille, and a roof spoiler. Pininfarina's designers also smoothed out the contours of the body's shape to make it appear slightly less aggressive and more sophisticated. Inside, Ferrari introduced new and more supportive seats and refined ergonomics, with improved general quality to make the car's driving experience more intuitive, engine capacity was raised to 3,185 cubic centimeters by increasing the bore and stroke, which helped to bring maximum horsepower to 270 horsepower at 7,000 rpm. The 328 employs Ferrari's typical flat-plane crank design, its inherent exhaust scavenging abilities making the torque curve flat and broad, with a maximum of 214 lb-ft achieved at 5,500 rpm. Adding to the everyday driving enjoyment is the unique exhaust sound created by the racing crank, a delight to all enthusiasts. The transversely mounted mid-engine design offers great weight distribution and contributes to outstanding handling. Ferrari ditched the metric wheels from the 308, fitting larger 16-inch rubber at each corner, which also helped. The 328 GTS could also reach a top speed of 163 mph and sprint from 0 to 60 in just 5.9 seconds.

The 1986 Ferrari 328 GTS offered here was delivered new to Mr. Davis, of Rochester Hills Michigan on Aug 8th of 1986 by the recognized, Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo Ferrari of Portland Oregon. The car traded hands just a few times over the following 18 years receiving routine maintenance and attention by all its owners prior to being purchased by its most recent owner in December of 2004. The Ferrari was continued to be properly serviced where over $35k was invested to keep the car properly maintained and running to perfection. Of that, $15k was just spent this year where the vehicle received a full engine out service and by a local Ferrari specialist and given a clean bill of health. As a result, the mechanical performance is amazing. Shifting is a pleasure, braking is responsive and the exhaust note is sweet music. It is evident that all previous owners not only took great care of the car, but also respected their investment. In 2008 with 41283 miles the speedo blew a fuse in the dash and stopped working. The servicing dealer elected to install a used speedo with a reading of 17455. Since, this Ferrari 328 has been driven 9542 miles, documenting the proper mileage at 50825. This is supported by full documentation including service records and owner history.
This impressive, well serviced, documented 1986 Ferrari 328 GTS, is a smart buy. It is no secret that the Ferrari market is on fire and record sales figures have become common. This car will never be worth less than it is today. The car comes with books, service records, factory tools, spare tire, and clean title. Sit your body in the fine Italian leather, smell the hides from Maranello and put the gears thru its addictive gated shifting progression – highly recommended to anyone that has a pulse!
