Seems like a good deal for an 87 328... (#70695)

Not too shabby!

 

Buy it !!!

Thank you

 

A very serious service, new tires, seat ( which are not same color as the others leather parts ! ), carpeting, and.... that's lot of money. What about service history before the storage ???

I'm sure there are some others Rosso GTS in the US market more attractive

 

If you didn't notice in the ad, here's the video on it.

And us Ferrarichat guys get a mention.

 

Mike and Colleen know exactly what's good and bad about this car. I don't think they'd be offering it for $80k or best offer if they thought they could get more.

 

Nice Video - she does a good job of enthusing about the car without going overboard.

 

Colleen is the best! She found my Dino and helped me with the Nero/Nero 328GTB I just bought on BaT.

 

BaT's auction format has proven to be very good at getting people to pay more than they usually would. The excitement of the competition and the cheering of the peanut gallery makes people lose their sense of reason and keep bidding far beyond what they could pay for a similar car advertised on Autotrader, Cars.com, etc. I believe the term is "auction fever". There's an F-chatter who told me he was relieved that he didn't win a BaT auction because when the auction ended he realized he had bid way past what was a reasonable price for the car. BaT lunacy is IMO the primary driver of the runup in values over the last couple of years. Not only that, but there's a sense among a lot of car guys that electric cars are about to take over the world and that gas-powered classics and exotics are only going to go higher and higher and they'd better get one now, at any price, or see their dream fade away.

 

Doesn't look like a bad car overall, and the price isn't crazy. Needs some interior love, for sure. Rear brakes look like they need to be replaced.The aftermarket hoses in the engine wouldn't bother me. Looks to me like a car that was driven, but not abused... and has obvious signs of maintenance over the years.

 

A US car with the correct Euro Vitaloni's on them. I'm happy to see this as I want to put my set on my 328. Someone added a thick rubber back-plate to hide any misaligned holes or previous wear marks. Correct US doors.

 

Not as the guy who paid $320.000

 

LOL— yep, glad I was outbid on that one— auction fever!! The one I did buy was considerably less.

 

Didn't realize that was M. Sheehan's daughter, she does a great job with the videos. Wondering why the roof spoiler is red?

 

Already sold as seen on Ferraris Online facebook !?

 

Wow! That was fast!

 

Simplest answer?: I'd say, as with the Euro-door mirrors - Because the owner thought it looked better than the black, textured look for the spoiler.

Pretty much every UK 328 GTS I've ever seen comes with the roof spoiler body coloured, and to me, it looks much better than the black crinkled texture version, because it looks less after-market.

 

I think a 328 would look slightly odd without the roof spoiler, because they're a standard fitment.

 

Depend on the market Phill, my GTB come without from Pozzi the French importer.

 

One of my projects for this fall is to remove the engine lid louvers to clean them up, and while I'm in there I'm going to remove the spoiler from my 328. I'll post before/after pics.

 

It doesn't leave holes in the engine deck lid once removed?

 

I've done it on my 328. See https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/another-minor-328-mod.62097/ for the whole process (there's a sidebar about 308 seat belt warning lights in the thread for some reason)
