Indeed If my memory serve me well, one of the previous F-chatter owner noticed wrongfully as Tobacco. Should be the cause of the confusion Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I am also 6’4” and I just bought a 1986 328 GTS. I’m not going to say the car is roomy, but honestly after driving it a while, it’s much more comfortable than I imagined it would be. I ordered a Hill Engineering steering wheel spacer so that I can have the seat all the way back and still maintain somewhat of a correct distance from the wheel. I was also going to look at Mondials, but truthfully, they weren’t my dream car. The 3x8 is my dream car. And I fit!

The radar detector works great! If you notice in the top down video, I slow down at 1:00 and then you see I pass the po-po at 1:04
I'm 6'4" also. When I first bought my 328, I initially had trouble getting comfortable. The seats are slightly angled, to put your feet more inboard, which takes a little getting used to. I kept knocking my knees on the dash. But then I shifted position to heel & toe .... and everything dropped into place. I find it very comfortable, now. Not a lot of room to fidget, but more comfortable than my ricer.
In addition to being a ton of fun to drive on the back roads, it's surprisingly comfy on long highway drives too.
Happy to run Carfax and/or Autoecheck for anyone interested. I'd prefer to sell to another Ferrarichat member otherwise it will be on eBay soon.
Nice car, I dont think I have ever seen a brown interior on a 328 !! My only dislike is the exhaust note, sounds " ruff " not pleasing to the ear. Tubi sounds way better, I was wanting to ask why the owner picked XOST ?? Why not Tubi, or Capristo they are much better suited for the 328.
Sorry, that's a result of the mic more than anything. The go-pro mic is okay but it doesn't pick up the exhaust well enough, plus with the targa top removed, there's some wind noise. In the second video I tried an external mic right above the rear bumper. In reality the sound is not far off from the Tubi.
If I may chime in. I am a lean 6'2" (longer legs/shorter torso) and we just got in a 128 mile '89 328 at Symbolic and I fit fine in that. Much more room than say a Dino 206 or 246 where my right knee is basically resting on the shifter ball. That yellow is really nice.
This is killing me! This car deserves to go to a member, a successor caretaker. Somebody remind me why I had kids, ruling out another two-seater?
Because these cars are not daily drivers/commuter cars for most people, I would venture to say (based on evidence here on F-chat) that a new owner could get several decades of great enjoyment from this car! In a word I'd say RELIABLE (owned mine for 20 years.) Very nice special Ferrari! GLWS
