1988.5 328GTS Red/Tan, 61xxx miles, $45,000. 1988.5 means convex wheels, 89
suspension upgrades, but no ABS.

I bought it from Ferrari of Huston, 12 -13 years ago, I?m the second owner.
First owner had a back operation and couldn?t get in and out so he sold it. 

I bought it to extend my time with my kids and it worked, they?re all car
people and we loved the track weekends and being with other Owners?.
However, time has passed and now they have their own lives and the car just
sits on the battery charger most of the time, which is a shame in my book. I
never needed a battery charger before because it was driven regularly. Good
times are not over, but I don?t think there will be anymore track weekends
in the foreseeable future, thus the reason for the sale.

Recent service at Ferrari of Atlanta included, changing all fluids, a brake
booster pump replacement and pre-sale inspection $3,500.

 

Car is stock no modifications (except radio stuff and cross drilled rotors),
selling to FerrariListers $45K, others $50K. I?m located in Memphis. Only
two issues that need to be addressed, sometimes it has a fast idle and need
to check out the left rear strut to find out if it is bent or not. If I sold
it for $50K I would take it to James Patterson, owner of Norwoods and the
shop that does frame/alignment work both located in Dallas. The car has a
perfect 4 wheel alignment so there is another issue, strut, or something and
I just haven?t checked it out.

Remember, not a garage queen so there are plenty of chips, etc. nothing
major but it could bother an anal owner. It is a driver?s car and if you
want the fastest 328 has ever seen, and want to truly drive a Ferrari then
this is the car for you. Ask Charles Perry, he drove it a couples of days in
the GA mountains; and Crawford White. My son did a dyno on the car at one of
our gatherings, but I forget what rear wheel hp we actually have. If you?re
interested I?ll ask him.

Only issue after this service will be an A/C leak. Had FOA check out the
suspension and no problems but from age, so the tech said, is sits ¼ inch
lower on the driver?s side. Y?all may remember I bent the frame at Hallet
many years ago and had it fixed by FODallas and have subsequently had it
check but the original frame person and now by FOA race tech and both have
determined its fine.

Not a garage queen so it has normal wear and paint chips, etc for 61xxx
miles.

 

Thanks for your interest.
