Used Ferrari 328 for sale

The Ferrari 328 was manufactured before modern electronic safety aids became standard. It includes basics like seatbelts, sturdy construction and dependable disc brakes, though it lacks airbags or traction control. Late models may have anti-lock brakes. As the 328 was built in the 1980s, it has no official safety rating and lags substantially behind modern safety expectations.

All Ferrari 328s come with a 3.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine and five-speed transmission. There were no alternative engine sizes or powertrains during its production run. The engine’s strong, linear power delivery is part of the car’s enduring attraction. You can find two versions of the 328 – the GTB closed-top coupe and the GTS targa-top with a removable roof panel. Both use the same engine.

Technology in the 328 is limited by today’s standards. Expect easy-to-read analogue gauges, a basic heater and a period radio or cassette player – all add to the classic driving feel. Don't expect modern infotainment features like navigation or Bluetooth.

Typical fuel consumption for the Ferrari 328 sits around 20-25mpg, though this can drop with spirited driving. It’s more efficient than some later or larger-engined Ferraris, but running costs reflect its performance nature.

Look for a complete service history using reputable specialists – dedicated upkeep is essential on cars of this era and value. Pay attention to timing belt changes, corrosion in lower body panels, and the condition of the interior. The AA Vehicle Inspection service can help you buy with confidence.

With regular upkeep from experienced hands, the Ferrari 328 is one of the more reliable classic Ferraris. Its simpler mechanics, proven engineering and the lack of need to remove the engine for servicing (unlike other Ferraris) make it easier to own. Neglect can be costly, though, so investing in a comprehensive service schedule is vital.
