service. S/n 59649 was sold new by Auto Becker, the authorized Ferrari dealer for Düsseldorf, Germany before
coming to the US, and has a well-documented ownership and service history since new. Comes with the full set of
owner’s books complete with the original warranty card listing the first owner, plus their leather carrying
pouch; the tool roll and all tools; the vinyl cover for the removable Targa top and a three ringed binder with
plastic sleeves for all original ownership and service documents. Also comes with both a very nice wooden rimmed
steering wheel plus the Factory original leather-wrapped wheel. All major mechanical components have been serviced
through its life and so the engine, transmission, brakes and suspension all work as they should. We have all
original invoices and service docs on file.
328 GTS s/n 59649 has just had a pre-sale inspection done by Dugan Enterprises, Oceanside, CA, and is currently
being treated to a full cam belt service including all new rubber belts; an oil and filter change; an A/C service
plus a full new set of 205/50/16 front and 225/50/16 rear Kumo tires. A list of minor problems such as a loose left
mirror; a new air intake boot and an engine bay detail are being resolved. Estimated final invoice, approximately
$5,000.00 which is included in the sale price. Pre-sale inspection and estimate on file.
The Rosso Corsa FER 300/6 paint is very nice and appears to be all original with no signs of spot repairs over the
years and all panels have excellent gaps and fit. There is no evidence of accident repairs to the body, underside
or chassis. The trim, gaskets, window glass and lenses are also in excellent condition. The cream leather on the
seats and door panels is in excellent condition, especially considering that it is now 31 years old! The dash
covering and headliner are in excellent condition, again, especially considering that it is now 31 years old! The
carpets have been protected by throw rugs and are also in excellent condition. The car had excellent drivability
and functioning of all systems and has been extremely well sorted before the current service and will be even
better when finished! It goes straight hands-off with no shimmy and brakes in a straight line. The engine bay is
nicely detailed and the under panels, belly pan and suspension are in good condition. The A/C is being recharged
and will blow cold. 328 GTS s/n 59649 is fitted with the Factory optional 7 x 16 front and 8 x 16 rear wheels with
a new set of 205/50/16 front and 225/50/16 rear Kumo tires.
The 328 succeeded the highly popular 308 for the 1986 model year and offered an increased displacement V-8 plus a
myriad of detail improvements throughout. The mid-engine 328 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 seat patterns, new door handles and tidier and more modern treatment
to the front and rear bumpers both of which were painted in body color. The controls were 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. As one of the last
Ferraris engineered and launched during Enzo Ferrari’s lifetime and as the last of the pre-computer Ferraris, the
328s are revered for their blend of usability and comparable reliability, as well as the comparative ease of
servicing, thanks to in-car engine service work and cam-belt replacements. Thanks to the 328’s low sweeping body
lines and the sounds of the well-proven, high-revving V-8 right behind your seat, every trip to dinner, Sunday
brunch or your local coffee shop is a great driving experience.
From new in Rosso Corsa FER 300/6 with cream leather, a black dash and black carpets. 328 GTS s/n 59649 now has
60,339 total original miles and will be delivered with a full major cam belt and 30,000 mile service and. All smog
is in place but thanks to today’s draconian smog rules 328 GTS s/n 59649 is probably NOT California legal.

2015 Ferrari 458 Italia to go turbo?
Wed, 04 Jun 2014Forced induction has definitely hit trend status when it comes to performance cars. Whether it's the supercharged Hellcat V8 in the Dodge Challenger SRT, the latest twin-turbocharged M3/M4 or even the entry-level speed of the Ford Fiesta ST, if you want the fastest car in any given segment, in all likelihood it has a turbo or supercharger. Even Ferrari hasn't avoided the bandwagon with the latest iteration of the California that replaces the original 4.3-liter V8 with a 3.9-liter turbo V8 offering 552 horsepower for more power and better fuel economy. If recent rumors prove true, it might not be the only Prancing Horse to use this engine for long.
According to Car in the UK, Ferrari is planning to boost the 3.9-liter V8 up to around 670 hp and place it in a refreshed 458 Italia in 2015. If true, that is an astounding increase over the version from the latest California and a roughly 70-hp improvement over the current 458 Speciale.
The extra power would come with a serious challenge of how to maintain the 458's delicious exhaust note. Turbocharged engines are often quieter than their naturally aspirated counterparts, modern Formula One cars serving as a prime example. The California may get a pass because it's more of a GT, but the 458 is the brand's bread-and-butter sports car. It needs to sound like a proper Ferrari V8. However, Car claims Maranello is a step ahead and has a complicated exhaust layout - as is the case with the California T, we might add - ready to keep much of the characteristic yelp in tact.
Ferrari 250 Testa Rossas assemble by the shore at Pebble Beach
Mon, 18 Aug 2014Seeing one Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many people because so few exist, and those that do generally trade hands for tens of millions of dollars. At this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, there are 20 of these amazing rarities lined up next to each other.
Situated right on the shore of the Pacific Ocean, you can actually hear the waves lapping against the rocks during the quiet moments. Just a few feet away these thoroughbred Prancing Horses are on display and being polished to perfection. The Testa Rossas represent some of the most important historic racers in the world, and the mix here include a prototype, a Le Mans winner and models that counted drivers like Phil Hill and Dan Gurney behind the wheel.
Not all Testa Rossas were created equal, though. Ferrari built both factory racing and customer versions, and they came with curvaceous bodies from Scaglietti and a bit more angular look with dual snouts from Fantuzzi. Many of them also had further modifications from there to make each one about as unique as a snowflake. Check out our fabulous gallery of all 20 of these beautiful red heads on display together.
2016 Singapore Grand Prix Race Recap | Setting the stage for the final rounds
Mon, Sep 19 2016The Singapore Grand Prix always features a safety car. This year the nation-state got caution out of the way early: seconds after the lights went out, Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz collided with Force India's Nico Hulkenberg, sending Hulk into the wall minus a wheel and some bodywork. The safety car led the field for three laps, then ducked into the pits so abruptly that a track marshal was still retrieving debris as race leader Nico Rosberg hit the throttle down the front straight. Rosberg avoided the pedestrian on his way to a two-second lead over Daniel Ricciardo in the Red Bull, Lewis Hamilton in the second Mercedes-AMG Petronas, and Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen. On Lap 8 of the 61-lap race Mercedes engineers warned Rosberg and Hamilton about brake management. Rosberg had no trouble until the waning laps of the race, his teammate inadvertently the cause. Raikkonen got ahead of Hamilton on Lap 33 while Hamilton nursed his car. Trying to get Hamilton back in front of the Ferrari, Mercedes pitted Hamilton on Lap 46 and also ordered him to turn his engine up. Ferrari debated for a lap about whether to bring Raikkonen in, finally issuing a last-second order to pit. The Finn emerged behind Hamilton, but executing the trick to get Hamilton back into third gave Ricciardo breathing room in second place. Red Bull brought Ricciardo in on Lap 48 for a set of super soft Pirellis. Returning to the track 25 seconds behind Rosberg, Ricciardo cut from one to four seconds out of that gap on every lap. By Lap 59 the Aussie was little more than a second behind the German. Had the race gone three more laps, Ricciardo might have pulled off the upset. This time Rosberg stayed in front to win his third race in a row and his first victory in Singapore, all in his 200th grand prix. Ricciardo and Hamilton completed the podium; Raikkonen claimed fourth. Sebastian Vettel wrangled an incredible fifth place after starting last; the German set the worst time on the grid when his suspension broke in Q1. Max Verstappen, having lost places at the start due to wheelspin again, recovered for sixth. Fernando Alonso made the most of his McLaren with seventh, ahead of Sergio Perez in the lone remaining Force India, a resurgent Daniil Kvyat in the Toro Rosso, and Kevin Magnussen scoring Renault's second points finish of the season. Hamilton has not had a good time of it since the end of the summer break – engine troubles in Belgium, a botched start in Italy, and zero rhythm in Singapore.
