1985 Ferrari 328 GTS - Rosso Corsa - 76,254km - 3.2L V8 Manual Convertible
Overview
The Ferrari 328 GTS stands as one of the most iconic mid-engine sports cars of the 1980s, representing the pinnacle of Ferrari's entry-level supercar philosophy. This 1985 example is a genuine, unmodified GTS variant finished in classic Rosso Corsa red with a cream leather interior, presenting as a faithful example of Ferrari's golden era of naturally aspirated V8 performance. The 328 GTS introduced the targa-top configuration to Ferrari's mid-range lineup, combining open-air motoring with the structural integrity of a removable roof panel. With 76,254 kilometres on the odometer, this vehicle represents a well-used but carefully maintained example of one of the most celebrated driver's cars ever produced.
The exterior presents in honest condition consistent with a four-decade-old sports car. The Rosso Corsa finish holds good depth across all panels, with minor stone chipping visible on the bonnet leading edge and light patina appropriate to the vehicle's age and use. Panel gaps are even and straight, with no evidence of accident repair or panel replacement. The iconic pop-up headlights function correctly, and the removable targa roof panel is present and fits securely. Wheels are the original Pininfarina design alloys, finished in silver with period-correct Michelin tyres. The windscreen and side windows are clear with no cracks or crazing.
The interior is finished in cream leather with brown suede accents, showing honest wear consistent with 76,254 kilometres of use. The driver's seat bolster shows expected creasing and patina, while the passenger side remains relatively preserved. The iconic three-spoke Momo steering wheel is original and shows character wear. The dashboard is complete with all original Veglia Borletti analogue instruments, including the distinctive horizontal speedometer reading to 280 km/h. The centre console houses the original five-speed manual gearbox selector with its characteristic small round knob and leather gaiter boot. Climate control and the original AM/FM radio are present. The cabin retains its original configuration with no modern infotainment retrofits, preserving the authentic 1985 driving experience.
The engine bay reveals the legendary 3.2-litre naturally aspirated V8, mounted longitudinally behind the driver. The red plastic engine cover is original and bears the Ferrari script. The engine presents cleanly with no evidence of major overhaul or modification. Original Agip lubricant specifications are documented on the engine bay placard. The fuel system, cooling system, and electrical components appear original and functional. No turbochargers, superchargers, or forced-induction modifications are present, preserving the authentic naturally aspirated character that defines the 328 GTS experience. The engine bay is tidy and well-maintained, with no fluid leaks visible.
At a market guide of $180,000 to $240,000 AUD for comparable 328 GTS examples in this condition and mileage, this vehicle represents a genuine entry point into Ferrari ownership. The 328 GTS has become increasingly collectible as prices for earlier 308 models have escalated, making the 328 generation an attractive alternative for enthusiasts seeking authentic Ferrari mid-engine dynamics at a more accessible price point. The combination of manual transmission, targa-top configuration, and unmodified originality makes this a compelling proposition for the serious collector or enthusiast driver seeking a usable, daily-capable Ferrari with genuine provenance.
