WISE INVESTMENT:

Now's the time to invest in a Ferrari and for several reasons, all of which make good economic sense. Think about it. The financial world has never settled since the recession.  Stocks go up and down; the real estate market is in a constant state of flux. Europe’s economy has had its fair share of troubles. Yet Art and Ferraris are going only one direction and that’s up.  Ferraris are an international commodity. They're desired from Beverly Hills to Beijing and bought, sold and shipped as such.

 

They're not making any more 328 Ferrari’s 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 categories (USA-Europe-Japan).  As those economies strengthen there will be an ever increasing demand for older/classic, Ferraris. Modern legislation means there will never be cars that look like the older/classic sculpted Ferraris designed by Pinin Farina.  Ferraris will continue to be great machines, but they will not be the cars built under Enzo Ferrari and designed by Pinin Farina when Ferrari truly was “Ferrari.”  

 

Supply and demand set price. Dino’s are pushing $300k to $400k.  Pinin Farina, the same designer who designed the Dino also designed the Ferrari 328. The Ferrari 328 is the Dino’s successor. In the last several years the once unloved Ferrari 330GT 2+2 has gone from $30k to more than $100k!  Now is the time to buy your quality older/classic Ferrari’s…while they are still affordable. The Ferrari 328 is arguably one of the best looking Ferrari’s of the last 40 years.  

 

HISTORY:

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.”

 

I am the 3rd owner of this beautiful Ferrari. This vehicle has been meticulously maintained with all proper paperwork and documentation. The vehicle has only been serviced by a Ferrari Dealer and certified Ferrari mechanics.  

 

This car originated from Ferrari Kessler Auto Group in NYC in 1987. The first owner traded the car to Ferrari Miller Motors of Greenwich, CT in 1994 (Kessler Auto Group left NYC to become Ferrari Miller Motors) with 14,662 miles. The second owner purchased the car from Ferrari Miller Motors in 1994. The third owner (me) purchased the car in 2012 with 31,000 miles.

 

DETAILS:

Exterior is in flawless condition. The car was repainted by the second owner by a highly recommended exotic car auto body shop from Ferrari Miller Motors. Paint shows no scratches, dents, swirls marks or imperfections. You will not find a nicer paint job on a 328 and I consistently get compliments at car shows on how flawless this car looks!

 

Interior is great condition for its age showing some aging and wear. Carpets, dashboard, and roof liner are in pristine condition.  Only flaw is a small quarter inch wear mark in drivers side seat (see photo).

 

Professionally installed Alpine CD/Audio System including 6.5” component speaker system and amplifier.

Full services completed by Ferrari Miller Motor Cars, Greenwich, CT (this car has two major services within its lifetime with the last major service being done less than 3,000 miles ago).

The vehicle is garage stored and used only on various weekends throughout the summer season after the roads are cleaned from the winter sand/salt. Vehicle comes with all accessories, tools, manuals, covers and service/history documentation.

 

I even have the original window sticker from 1987 and original dealer bill of sale! The Ferrari 328 is the last real Ferrari designed by Pinin Farina and is timeless in design. The 3.2-litre V8 engine is one of Ferrari's most reliably motors with the lowest maintenance costs. If you’re looking for a stunning classic Ferrari that has been well cared for, this is the vehicle for you!

 

According to Ferrari Market Letter Ferrari 328GTS's are going up in value significantly and can only increase as they become rarer. Ferrari 328's are the continuation of the bloodline started with the 246's then evolved into 308's and finally vastly improved 328's. 328's are considered the most reliable and maintenance free of Enzo era Ferrari's.

Ferrari cuts Toronto lawyer a deal to replace his flooded California [w/video]

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

A Ferrari might be the last vehicle you'd want to be driving when streets are submerged in water, but Toronto lawyer Howard Levitt was unfortunate enough to be behind the wheel of his $200,000+ Ferrari California when the tunnel he was driving through started to fill up. It was July, when parts of the Canadian city were flooded, but he was determined to make his flight to a court appearance the next day. So Levitt abandoned his metallic blue supercar in the middle of the street and took a cab to the airport, the National Post reports.
The car subsequently was totaled, and the insurance company covered the damage, so after completing his court assignment (and a column for the Financial Post that was due the same day), Levitt began to search for a replacement for his California - driving his 1994 Dodge Viper in the meantime. He decided on a 2014 California in the same metallic blue to replace his 2010 model. When he approached Ferrari to put in an order, the Italian marque was waiting for him, having heard of his mishap. The company offered him a "very generous" deal on a 2014 model; an undisclosed amount less than the after-options retail price of around $300,000.
The new Ferrari is expected to be delivered to Levitt in November, and we can only hope another flood doesn't catch him off guard. We're not so sure Ferrari would offer him another "very generous" deal. Feel free to watch the short video below, despite its rather static nature, which we included to precisely show the sad fate of Levitt's fallen California.

Ferrari to reveal California-based 149M on February 12

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

The updated, turbocharged Ferrari California might be the Prancing Horse's worst-kept secret ever. The long-rumored car was spotted testing last summer at the Italian dreammaker's Fiorano test track with the unmistakable whistle of a forced-induction engine, and Ferrari is now teasing the reveal of its "149M Project" on February 12. Because that the original codename for the California was the F149, the new car is almost certainly the refreshed version.
The exact engine under the hood is still a mystery, but it is rumored to be a tuned version of the 3.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 found in the Maserati Quattroporte with 523 horsepower and 524 pound-feet of torque, an engine that is already a significant upgrade over the 483 hp and 372 lb-ft in the current California. Other reported upgrades suggest there is the possibility of revised exterior pieces to make the new model look more like the F12 Berlinetta, along with an improved interior featuring a more modern infotainment system. As expected, Ferrari has no plans to drop the California's retracting hardtop for the updated model.
While Ferrari will debut the new car on February 12, the public will probably not get its first chance to check out the brand's entry-level sports car until the Geneva Motor Show in March.

Sebastian Vettel gets to work at Fiorano [w/videos]

Thu, Dec 4 2014

He wore a BMW Sauber uniform for his grand prix debut, the colors of Scuderia Toro Rosso for his first win and the Red Bull Racing jumpsuit for his four consecutive world titles. But with the 2014 Formula One season now behind him, Sebastian Vettel is now officially a Ferrari man, and he donned scarlet for the first time this past weekend when he got down to work in Maranello. Aside from meeting with the company's new chairman Sergio Marchionne, the Scuderia's new principal Maurizio Arrivabene and a team of race engineers, Vettel took the F2012 – similar if not the very same one in which his predecessor Fernando Alonso won the Malaysian, European and German grands prix – out onto the company's private test track. He completed a solid 100 laps around Fiorano on Saturday and undertook long sessions driving the virtual F14 T on the sumulator. "It's been a fantastic day to come here," Vettel said of his first day with the team. "The possibility to drive the car and get to know the team was a unique experience.... I'm very much looking forward to the challenge that we took on for the next years." Scope out the photos of Vettel in red in the gallery above and the footage from his first session at Fiorano and first visit to Maranello in the videos below. This content is hosted by a third party.

Sebastian gets down to business in Fiorano Maranello, 2 December – Last Saturday, Sebastian Vettel did his first laps as a Scuderia Ferrari driver, at the wheel of an F2012, at the Fiorano track. The German did around a hundred laps and it wasn't just a case of getting to know the team, the track and the car's systems: after a few cautious runs, he began to push and enjoy himself, even though the damp track meant conditions were tricky with less than optimal grip. In this video, you can see some spectacular highlights from Sebastian's run, from which it's clear that he is a determined character who really can't wait to get down to work alongside Kimi and the team to get the Scuderia back to the top again. ### Vettel: "A special feeling" Maranello, 1 December – This was the first weekend as a Scuderia Ferrari driver for Sebastian Vettel, who has been at Maranello from Saturday until today and has begun his work ahead of the new season.
