Nice car! Is it an ABS or non-ABS version?

 

please don't contact me or pm me.... contact my brother....

and yes that is my mom's car

 

If it's truly an 88.5, which it should be as I had 77068 which was an 88.5 GTB, then it should have everything that 89's do but no actual ABS. Only the 89's in the US got ABS brakes. Although I guess nothing would surprise me with Ferrari.

 

getting detailed more pics to follow

 

My understanding is that you are correct - it was listed as an option - but somehow, none of the US cars got it until 1989. So I have heard that some Euro 88.5 cars have ABS but no US cars. Just a small thing but worth noting for someone who prizes originality and wonders where the ABS is.

 

The car looks great in white

 

Nice car. GLWS

 

A very nice car. I believe only 4 white cars were produced in 1988??

 

This is correct. I own 76713 and it has all the post-76626 changes but no ABS. Built in March, 1988.

 

If it has the convex wheels rather than the concave, then it's an ABS car.

 

I have a 1989 GTB, with convex and no ABS.

 

That is incorrect.

 

Forza magazine dated Feb 20, 2014 states starting with #76626 there was a suspension upgrade and in 88 (88.5) the ABS was an option but was NOT available in the USA. It also states ABS was standard equipment in 89.
Believe it may be issue #133, dated May 2014 (?) which has a 328 buyers guide for the 328 in that issue.
I need to figure out how to cut and paste this stuff on an iPad.

 

The easiest way to tell if a car has got ABS, or not, is to simply open the front hood and look at the brake fluid reservoir, which is situated in front of the windscreen, in the shroud around the spare wheel.
If the (plastic) brake fluid reservoir is rather large and situated right in the middle of said shroud, the car has got ABS; if the brake fluid reservoir is rather small and offset towards the passenger side, the car has no ABS.

I have an 88.5 no ABS with the Convex wheels... the wheels are based on the Suspension upgrade NOT ABS

GLWS!

 

That really is the definitive way to tell (and "ANTI-LOCK" light on dash). If the car has ABS, then it is an ABS car, not wheels, serial number, country, etc. Too many exceptions to the rules.

That is a very nice looking white 328! Best of luck with your brother's sale.

 

The wheels are based on the Suspension upgrade NOT ABS

 

It's a convex wheel 88.5 and does not have ABS - best of both worlds in most people's opinion. Upgraded suspension without the possible problems of the ABS in the future. Great car.

 

Except the wheels are ugly.

 

You are right
