Similar to the Countach we featured yesterday, the 1970s begat some Italian sports cars that became icons of the 1980s. Along with cut sweatshirts, Italo Disco and Nintendo, the Ferrari 328GTS defined an era of fast living. Introduced in 1986, this was a revision of the 308 with a 3.2 liter V8 pumping out 270 horsepower. Most 328s you see are painted in Rosso Corsa, so this 328GTS for sale in Florida painted in Azzuro Blue stands out a bit.
Unfortunately, the seller doesn't provide much detail about this car other than basic specs. Prices for the 328GTS tend to range from $30,000 to $50,000. At this asking price, I'd expect a bit more color on the provenance of this car, namely what servicing has been carried out, as almost 50,000 on a Ferrari of this vintage is no mean feat. Also, the color may do it no favors when it comes to resale value, as collectors tend to prefer the usual black, red or yellow. Still, it's always neat to see these popular sports cars in a color other than red.
About a decade after the 308 debuted, Ferrari tried their hand at updating the mid-engine V8 formula and introduced the 328GTB and GTS. The revised model featured a 3.2 liter V8 that allowed mechanics to perform most of the maintenance without having to remove the engine, greatly reducing hourly labor costs. Thankfully most of the wedge shape survived, which was complemented by better integrated bumpers and the interior was upgraded with more modern switchgear. This 328GTS for sale in Southern California was taken in trade on a new 911 and strikes a unique pose in Oro Chiaro (Light Gold).

We just took in a really clean, very well maintained 1987 Ferrari 328 GTS in on trade on a new 991 Porsche Carrera and are thrilled to now offer this car for sale globally here on eBay. This 52,000 mile 328 is a true classic and comes in an incredibly rare Oro Chiaro Metallic paint with Beige and Brown interior. This Ferrari shows incredibly well and it’s a real treat to drive. It’s classic Ferrari at new Toyota pricing, what more could you ask for. If you want to make a move on this car, don’t wait for the auction to end, just call me and I will do everything I can to make this deal happen. Forget that the auction is even taking place, don’t worry about what the reserve is, if this is the car you’re looking for, you owe it to yourself to give me a call and I’ll do everything I can to see that a reasonable offer buys this time capsule of a car.
Gold certainly isn’t a color you see on a 308 or 328 every day. I’m not the biggest fan of this hue, but it is interesting, being outside of the Ferrari norm. Good examples of 328s these days can range from $35,000 into the low $40,000 range. The best examples can bring upwards of $50,000. With this kind of mileage, a service history would be a must. I would hope, given that a Porsche dealer is offering this car, they at least got some information from the prior owner on what has been done. The condition of this 328 looks pretty good and if the maintenance checks out, the asking price of $35,000 is about spot on.
