These are one of the last of Ferrari that you can service yourself, timing belt is simple to change without the removing the engine. And everything is still analog without the use of expensive computer diagnostic. Love it!

No truer words concerning Ferraris have ever been spoken! Well done, you know Ferraris.

Thanks for listening to feedback and making this video. Worth the wait. You raise some excellent points, glad to know my 1989 GTS ticks all your boxes.
Cheers

Great and easy breakdown of the most important points, looking at a 328 right now

I own a 1989 328 GTS.

The convex wheels were introduced because of the changes to the suspension to introduce the "anti-dive suspension"

It is possible to buy an anti-dive suspension / convex wheels car that does NOT have ABS

I *believe* that both changes were introduced at the same time in the USA

However in the UK the upgraded suspension was introduce with convex wheels and the ABS was an OPTION!!!!

Later ABS became a standard feature.

So it's possible to buy a convex wheels / anti-dive suspension car which does not have ABS!!!!

great breakdown of what to look out for, thanks so much!

Very informative. Thanks for the video. I’m considering adding a 328 or 308 to my stable and came upon this video. BTW I recognized Adam Merlin from an episode of caffeine and octane. Nice surprise! Keep up the great work with this well produced video. Cheers

Would have been interesting to hear how often the cam belts need attention or what items to look for. It really goes without saying that fewer owners, lower milage and a better quality shop + meticulous maintenance saves money.... but what should one look out for with this era of Ferrari ??? i.e. if x; y & z hasn't been done in the past e.g. 3 or 5 years then that's a bill to expect to see.

Very informational - the presenter is certainly a very profound at vehicle build and tech

328 GTB, very rare. Less than 100 of them in the US, only around 1 or 2 for sale at any given time.

My god i would have a stroke if i was in that room, thats what heaven would be for me when i died, lol, 328, one of my all time favorite Ferrari's, i know its not a F40 or it doesn't have a Colombo V12 or this and all that, lol but its iconic and no, nothing to do with the Mustache man either, its just a beautiful car, thank you for this video.

Great interview and always a pleasure to see a 328.
just a small remark; the convex rims were introduced just after the ABS, it was not because of the ABS, but it was to standardize with the rims of the Mondial t, thus there is well a beginning of series between 88 and 89 with concave rims and with ABS.

[josephsudlersr.]

Enjoyed the vedio always one of my favorite the 328, but got hooked on the nsx a 1992

[ruedesaugiers]

Very impressive video ! I'm just sorry you did not mention the GTS/GTB turbo... Which are 2 Liters turbo charged and were produced at 828 and 308 units between 1986 and 1989.

[LaurieWilliams-lkfc]

Mentions climate but not rust. Serious trouble if it's been on wet roads where salt is applied.

[ohroonoko]

The convex wheels spoil the look of the car IMO. But today I learned that ABS is why they switched to convex wheels.

[ingocernohorsky]

Do you mind making a buyers guide for the mondial series?

[richardrichardgonzales]

I have a 19 88 GTS 328 that runs beautiful and I wouldn't trade it in for any other vehicle it's the same color as the one that's on the set orange color red color whatever it is it's beautiful color I love the color it's a testarossa I believe the GPS 328 GTS 328
