HISTORY - THIS PARTICULAR FERRARI 328 GTS / SUMMARY
We do not believe it is an exaggeration to say that this Ferrari is arguably one of the finest 328 GTS' on the planet. It is in truly exceptional condition and is in the category of investment grade condition. The Ferrari is finished in desirable. classic. "Rosso Corsa” (Red) with tan leather interior and a black Targa top. as delivered by the factory. Both the exterior and interior reflect due to the obsessive care that this Ferrari has received since it was new. The comprehensive records and detailed No expense has been spared to keep it running in superb overall condition. and it runs strong just as it came out of the Ferrari factory.

Unlike some examples with very low mileage that will require maintenance / service. or have been stored / unused for extended periods of time. this example has what many Ferrari aficionado's consider "ideal mileage. ” With just 45. 00 fanatically well-maintained miles. it has been used regularly. but sparingly. to ensure excellent operation at all times. The most recent major service was performed by Ferrari expert. Grand Prix Motors. Campbell. CA at 44. 33 miles (867 miles ago) in accordance with Ferrari recommended maintenance (including. but not limited to new Cam timing belts. valve adjustment. A/C & water pump belts and replacement. oil service. new hoses. complete inspection of fuel. braking. lighting and other systems). Additionally. the car received a fresh clutch and all new fuel injectors. The car has never had deferred maintenance and the extensive maintenance records (included) document the cars obsessive car for over 20 years.

In addition to the proper mechanical condition of this car. it is in Concours condition cosmetically with recent (June. 2016) Concours judging of 99. 0 of 100 point. Historical results consistently scored the car well above 95%. Not only is this 328 GTS a regular Platinum Ferrari Club of America award winning car. it is the only 328 known to have won Platinum as well as the Coppa Bella Machina award five+ consecutive years and another in 2015 with the Ferrari Club of America at the National Meet level. This car has also won the Club's Preservation Award. These are among the highest awards possible. This car has been meticulously maintained in original specification just as it was produced by the Ferrari factory. This is important in the Concours d'Elegance competitions as originality is critical in Ferrari and other Concours judging. Particularly noteworthy is the cars show history during the past several years.

In 2016. the car was recognized as "First in Class” at the prestigious Hillsborough Concours d'Elegance and also received a First in Class at another bay area Concours d'Elegance.

During 2015. the Ferrari received the following awards:

- FCAPR Enthusiast of the Year Award

- FCA National Concours - Platinum & Coppa Bela Machina (6 time winner)
Note: The Coppa Bellla Machina roughly translates to "Beautiful Machine Award" in Italian. It is one of the most treasured awards in Ferrari circles. To be honored as a Coppa Bella Machina. the car must function 100% as it did from the factory. This includes everything from the emergency brake holding the car on a hill to the lighting systems. mechanical items and even the cigarette lighter!

- Concorso Italiano Platinum

- Danville Concours d'Elegance - First in Class

- Ed Gilbertson Award - In recognition of over 25 years as Chief Concours Judge of the Ferrari Club of America the Pacific Region. Ed Gilbertson. has established the "Ed Gilbertson Ferrari's are Meant To Be Driven Award" to recognize those active club members who regularly drive their cars. This is an International Meet Concours Award. The Award honors Ed and his philosophy that "Ferrari's are meant to be driven".

The complete summary of the cars show winning FCA (Ferrari Club of America) speaks volumes about its condition.

OWNERSHIP HISTORY/
The ownership history documents the delivery of the Ferrari to its first owner by Cavallino Classics. Scottsdale. AZ. on 8/22/87 328 GTS. The original Owner's Warranty & Service Book reflects the VIN #. Engine #. and Ignition key # (original keys included).

Additional extensive service records document ongoing maintenance through 2017.

The Ferrari has been in Northern California since 2000. when it had 20. 00 miles. The cars 2nd owner retained ownership from 2000 to 2013 when it was sold to the current owner. a long-time Ferrari enthusiast. The cars current owner has only added a few thousand miles to the 328 GTS and has continued to show the car and maintain it to the highest standards.

The Carfax report shows a totally clean history and consistent mileage progression leading to the cars current. low mileage. It reflects a recent history of passing California's stringent smog inspections. The car is currently registered in California until 4/8/18 and. of course. carries a clean unencumbered title.

OVERALL CONDITION
In a word… striking. The recognition that the car has received in Concours settings reflects its cosmetic condition. Cars this original are literally impossible to duplicate and this car remains totally stock in virtually every respect. Not only is the car properly configured. it retains factory original paint. no history. or signs of current or previous accident damage. rust of other significant flaws. The car is extensively documented and has just had a major service within 850~ miles so it is ready to be used and enjoyed. or shown at National level Ferrari gatherings. or local shows / events.

With the exception of normal wear. replacement items. the Ferrari retains the majority of its original components including wheels (unmarked). Pirelli P7 tires. factory spare. tools. manuals & books. keys. and much more.

This particular 328 GTS runs and drives extremely well and is solid. rattle free. and mechanically strong. It starts immediately easily. has high oil pressure when cold and warm. does not overheat. and has just had the benefit of a major service by a professional Ferrari repair facility. The 328 pulls strongly through all gears and has excellent. linear power. The clutch is excellent. free from slippage or issues. and progressive. The gearbox reflects the cars low mileage with excellent synchros. and the often problematic 2nd gear syncromesh not being a problem. even when the car is cold. The brakes are effective and the steering and chassis are tight and precise. The air conditioning blows cold and heater and controls are fully functional. The car runs cool even in California's warm climate and has been totally reliable.

The interior is correct and in exceptional condition throughout. The seat upholstery and dashboard are totally original and in lovely condition with no defects that detract from the beauty of the interior. The carpets are in excellent condition. The instruments and controls are in excellent condition. as is the center console. all of which appear are in original but incredibly well preserved condition. The steering wheel is a stock Ferrari item with a yellow Ferrari logo horn button. The car is fitted with a radio that is hidden behind a door” in the center console (shown in photo).

The engine compartment. trunk. and front compartment are all immaculate and have not been criticized in Concourse judging. They remain correct in appearance. The engine is totally clean. free from leaks and originally configured. The factory air-box remains in place with factory correct semi-gloss finish and decals. The front compartment is in excellent condition and there are NO indications of any current or previous accident damage. The car has the proper plastic liner. fuse covers. and original spare with factory proper Goodyear tire (never used).
As the preferences of the new generation of collectors emerge. the 328 GTS is proving to be a popular model with strong investment potential because of its relevance to this buyer group. Values and interest in these cars is clearly increasing with documented sales of honest”. high quality cars in the $100. 00 range. This car represents a rare opportunity to own a totally unmolested show quality example of an original. limited owner. fully documented. 45. 00 mile 328 GTS. at an attractive price.

328 GTS HISTORY
The Ferrari 328 GTS is the successor to the Ferrari 308 GTS largely based on the 308 GTS. modifications were made to the body style and engine. including an increase to engine displacement to 3. 2L (3185 cc). 7. 13 Ferrari 328s (6. 68 in GTS form) were produced by the time the model was replaced by the new 348 in 1989. The 328 is considered by many Ferrari enthusiasts to be one of the most reliable Ferrari's; unlike some models. most engine maintenance can be performed without lifting the engine from the vehicle.
The GTS is a Gran Turismo Spider (Targa top). In 1985 the 328 retailed from $58. 00-$62. 00 ($145. 00-$153. 00 in 2016 dollars) in the United States. This price included a gas-guzzler tax.

The 328 GTS model is the final development of the normally aspirated transverse V8 engine 2-seat series. The 328 figures in the model title referred to the total cubic capacity of the engine. 3. 2 litres. and 8 for the number of cylinders. The new model was introduced at the 1985 Frankfurt Salon.

Essentially the new model was revised and updated version of the 308 GTS. which had survived for eight years without any radical change to the overall shape. albeit with various changes to the 3-litre engine. The 328 model presented a softening of the wedge profile of its predecessor. with a redesigned nose that had a more rounded shape. which was complemented by similar treatment to the tail valance panel. The revised nose and tail sections feature body color bumpers integral with the valance panels which reflect the work done concurrently to present the Mondial 3. 2 models. with which they also share a similar radiator grille and front light assembly layout.

All eight-cylinder cars in the range share fairy unified front and rear aspects. providing a homogeneous family image. The exhaust air louvers behind the retractable headlight pods on the 308 series disappeared. coupled with an increase in the size of the front lid radiator exhaust air louvre. which had been introduced on the 308 Quattrovalvole models. while a new style and position of exterior door catch is also provided. The interior trim also has a thorough overhaul. with new designs for the seat panel upholstery and stitching. revised door panels and pulls. together with more modern switchgear. which complements the external updating details. Optional equipment available was air conditioning and a rear aero foil.

The 328 GTS model has a tubular chassis with a factory type reference F 106 MS 100. Disc brakes. with independent suspension via wishbones. coil springs. and-hydraulic shock absorbers. are provided all round. with front and rear anti roll bars. There are various world market models. each having slight differences. with right and left hand drive available.
