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.

 

SERVICES:

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).

 

16,179 miles the following services were completed:

Dealer installed new clutch (when traded-in 1994)

 

24,430 miles the following services were completed:

30,000 mile services including replacement of all belts, timing belt, tensioners, CAM and DIST seals adjusted valves, spark plugs, all fluids, clutch adjustments, etc.

 

29,687 miles the following services were completed:

30,000 mile services including replacement of all belts, timing belt, tensioners, CAM and DIST seals adjusted valves, spark plugs, all fluids, clutch adjustments, etc.

 

31,200 miles the following services were completed:

Replaced water pump and removed original working catalytic converter. Replaced with custom racing test pipe (have saved all original parts).

 

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.

Xcar goes analog with the Ferrari F40

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

We will forever be in love with the Ferrari F40. From its blunt-force appearance to its 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine living and breathing perilously close to the driver's head, the F40, the last model designed and built with input from Enzo Ferrari himself, has been and likely always will be the Ferrari of Ferraris for automotive enthusiasts who grew up in the 1980s.
All of this raises an interesting question: is the Ferrari F40 the best supercar of all time? A case can certainly be made, and after watching - and, just as importantly, listening to - all 17 minutes of blood-red Italian glory from Xcar, you're going to have to try long and hard to convince us that anything could be sweeter than this particular Prancing Horse.
Watch the video above, aptly titled Analogue Animal. You owe it to yourself. So go ahead, sit back, turn up your speakers and click play.

Tesla layoffs, new safety mandates, and a bumper crop of V12s! | Autoblog Podcast #830

Fri, May 3 2024

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd for a gasoline-powered installment. They lead off by diving into the Tesla layoff news from this week before leaving electrification behind for a bit to talk about not one, but two production V12 unveilings. This isn't a drill, folks; Aston Martin and Ferrari are both committed. After that, they touch on the U.S. government announcement that it would mandate automatic emergency braking systems starting in 2029. They finish up the news segment with a chat about Fisker. Poor, poor Fisker. From there, it's on to the road tests. The Autoblog team has been testing out some EVs and both Byron and Greg had some thoughts to share, plus we get a final update from Byron on the long-term Subaru WRX and some notes from both drivers about the updated Range Rover Evoque.  Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

2015 Japanese Grand Prix is a little Mercedes, a lot of zen

Mon, Sep 28 2015

Just one week on from the issues in Singapore Mercedes-AMG Petronas appeared to have solved its clamp problems and everything else. Daniil Kvyat at Infiniti Red Bull Racing took the two Free Practice scalps on Friday, but when it came time for qualifying the front of the grid looked really familiar: Mercedes' Nico Rosberg took his second pole position of the season, Lewis Hamilton next to him in second. Kvyat had a hand in that, too, the Russian getting into a big accident in Q3 when he put two wheels on the grass heading into the hairpin and veered into the tire wall so hard that he flipped. That ended qualifying before a number of drivers had a chance to improve their times, Hamilton among them. That's how Valtteri Bottas got in third for Willliams ahead of Sebastian Vettel fourth for Ferrari. Felipe Massa had the second Williams in fifth, ahead of Kimi Raikkonen in the second Ferrari. Daniel Ricciardo lined up sixth for Infiniti Red Bull Racing, a team we're going to have to enjoy watching for the rest of the season since it might not exist come 2016. Romain Grosjean gave Lotus some good news by getting into eighth, the team so strapped for cash that it couldn't get into its hospitality area, so it held press conferences outside and ate at Bernie Ecclestone's Paddock Club. Sergio Perez took ninth for Sahara Force India, and Kvyat slotted into tenth after not setting a time. The Russsian's race would begin from the pit lane once his mechanics rebuilt his car. It wouldn't be a Formula One start lately without someone at the front having clutch problems. This time it was pole man Rosberg, whose power unit got too hot and put him a few horsepower down on Hamilton through Turns 1 and 2. That's half of how Hamilton took the lead from the lights going out, and the Brit kept it throughout the race. Rosberg, however, said his race was lost when Hamilton pushed him wide through Turn 2, a move Hamilton defended. Rosberg finished almost 19 seconds behind his teammate, a gap that probably isn't fully explained by that opening incident. Hamilton's race was so uneventful that we almost never saw him on camera – that is, we saw him so much less than we usually see him when he's out in front and unpressured that Nikki Lauda said he'd ask Ecclestone why the cameras avoided him. The conspiracy theory holds that FOM was punishing Mercedes for not supplying Red Bull with engines next year.
