Based on the 308 model that it was replacing, the 328 GTS differed with its larger engine at 3.2-liters and subtle external updates to its appearance. Its 270-hp mid-mounted V-8 engine with five-speed manual transmission provided the power and thrills worthy of any sports car bearing the Ferrari name and the sleek Pininfarina lines made for a car as visually exciting as it was to drive. For all of that and more, it has gained allegiance from many Ferrari fans as being one of the most user friendly models the company has offered and continues to fascinate to this day.

This red with tan leather example is described as being original, and it has the popular removable targa top, factory alloy wheels, air conditioning, Sanyo AM/FM radio, power windows, power four-wheel disc brakes, hidden headlights, power steering and embroidered Ferrari floor mats. The paint is reported as being in good condition and the 308 also has a clean engine bay, and nicely preserved leather interior, plus the car has smooth running and driving characteristics.

Reliable sources indicate that over the 1985 to 1989 production run for the 328 GTS, there were only 6,068 similar examples built.
