Taking much of its design styling from the 308, the 328 exhibits several subtle differences from its predecessor, including body-color bumpers that are integral to the valance panels, a slightly smaller front grille, and a roof spoiler. Pininfarina’s designers also smoothed out the contours of the body’s shape to make it appear slightly less aggressive and more sophisticated.

Inside, Ferrari introduced new and more supportive seats and refined ergonomics, with improved general quality to make the car’s driving experience more intuitive. Mechanically, engine capacity was raised to 3,185 cubic centimeters by increasing the bore and stroke, which helped to bring maximum horsepower to 270 horsepower at 7,000 rpm. The 328 GTS could also reach a top speed of 163 mph and sprint from 0 to 60 in just 5.9 seconds.

The example offered here is undeniably remarkable, as it is in near-new condition, and it is one of those cars that must be seen to be believed. The interior and exterior are nearly flawless, and all of the rubber, carpets, gauges, and ancillary attachments remain excellent throughout.

This outstanding condition is the direct result of the original owner, Mark Neiberg, of Valley Alternator. Neiberg ordered this GTS in late 1986 from Hollywood Sports Cars, and he knew what he wanted: a black-on-black 328 Ferrari. This car also happened to be one of approximately twenty-nine produced in that combination with identical options for that year. From the day he took delivery, the car was kept in his climate-controlled garage in Encino, California. Not only did he take care of how the car was stored, he also drove it only 7,233 miles and had it serviced regularly by the Ferrari dealership.

This Ferrari has new tires, has had a recent service, and is ready to drive as intended. It is offered with only six miles since it received its California emission control certification, dated 5/2013, and a full tune-up and fluid change. A major service for a timing belt change and full brake service was completed within this time and is documented with receipts. All other service records, an original handbook, promotional literature, sale documents, an original Ferrari tool kit, silk red seat covers with prancing horses, and contracts and registrations accompany this car.

Note that this Ferrari was special-ordered and delivered as a U.S. model with California emissions control, and it is legal in all 50 states. As this breathtaking car is in near-new condition, its sale is an opportunity not to be missed.
