The Ferrari 328 GTS is essentially a revised version of the 308 GTS which was made iconic by the hit TV show Magnum PI. Styling was done by Pininfarina and special attention to aerodynamics was taken, which resulted in better aerodynamics than previous mid-engined Ferrari models. Ferrari offered many different color configurations and this 328 is finished in Bianco white over a tan interior. Power is derived from a 3.2L V8 engine putting out 270HP paired to a 5-speed gated manual. Production for the 328 ran for four years and 6068 examples were produced during this timeframe. The GTS model is often favored over the GTB due to its Targa top and ability to “feel the wind in your hair” while driving. This car has the original books and tool kit included with the purchase.
This example had been part of a predominant Orange County collection and has been meticulously maintained and driven primarily to cars and coffee. The cars original bianco (white) exterior is in immaculate condition and its original tan leather seats are in excellent condition. The car is fitted with its original matching numbers Ferrari naturally aspirated 3.2-litre (3185 cc), 4-valve-per-cylinder (quattro valve) transverse mounted mid-engine V8 layout with horsepower 270 BHP.
The car had a major service including a tune up, timing belt, replacements of all fluids, new plugs, new battery, oil change, radiator flush, tire/brake Inspection less than 2,000 miles ago. The car has a clean California title and includes its full set of original books, tool and jack kits, and spare tire. The 5-speed manual gearbox shifts through its classic “gated shifter” cleanly and is a joy to drive. This is one of best 328 GTS examples available that can be driven or taken to the shows. This is a no excuse collector example that can be driven and enjoyed.

I am surprised this one has not been snapped up. If I did not already have one I might step up and buy this one. I watched BMW E30 M3’s go from $20K to over $100K and now even higher. Buy while you can!
Yes B-Rad, one of my friend was bidding on it and finally at $275K he stopped. He thinks these are the next Ferrari to make the move upward.
Did anyone watch the GTB on BAT that just sold for $300K. This seems like a nice example that should piggyback on this new high water mark. GLWTA

Had one of these when new and always loved them. Just a very easy car to drive, have fun, and reasonably inexpensive to maintain.
These are beautiful cars but the white really makes the lines look great. GLWTA

Very nice looking 328, white definitely shows its great lines.
From the Carfax report the car has spend the past 15 years registered in CA and was serviced at Ferrari of Costa Mesa, from 2006-2016. From that point until present it was owned by a private collector that had his in-house mechanic maintain. It did pass CA smog inspection for the 2020 registration renewal.
Beautiful example here and somewhat of a rare color combo. Looks like a very nice original car.
