Rescuing a Ferrari 328 GTS

It's time for Barkaways to rescue another Ferrari!
This 1 owner 328 GTS had been stored for many years in an underground car park in London before Barkaways were enlisted to get it back up and running again. Watch as we bring the car out into the sunshine for the first time in well over a decade and take a closer look at what is needed to recommission this classic 80's Ferrari.

The 308/328 is one of my favourite Ferraris. I love the shape.

Although it's understandable that after a passing the family would just park it, however, any car that sits unused (like airplanes btw) are not happy and perish. They are meant to be used and worked. The cost later on to rejuvenate or bring back from the dead is usually prohibitive especially with exotics. Beautiful job bringing her back!

I was going to say "I would use air to clean off the initial dirt as you don't know if some of it is caked on really good and you don't want the paint damaged by power washing Well, so much for that idea. Paints looks amazing though...

Yes, when restoring a car like this, all the rubber and electrical bits have to be replaced. That's just a given. Then flush out all the liquids that have been sitting in there. Then restore whatever else needs restoring. Mostly all the little tiny bits.

One of my all-time favorite cars. And still very serviceable. Not into cars much anymore but would still love to have a Ferrari 328GTS. One of the most perfect looking cars ever. And looks to be a blast to drive.

84’ 308Gtsi is my dream care! Huge Magnum Pi fan! Getting this car up and sorted was probably
$25, 000 US plus. I know timing belts job is around $10, 000 US itself
But hey it all needed done
Looks good

Fantastic work as always. Really informative 👏

I had a 328 GTS and second gear was always "difficult" until the gearbox warmed bet the gate broke with someone trying to force the gear change. I always went 1st to 3rd until everything was up to temp.

Excellent project and professionalism.

I love the video. Those are not brake pipes, they`re flex hose. I was a dealership tech for many years and I`ve got to say, what you`re doing is much more rewarding.

I really hate the rear spoiler on the cars. My favourite Ferrari but I want one without the spoiler!
