The evolved 308 — bigger 3.2 V8, body-coloured bumpers and the last of the analogue mid-engined Pininfarina Ferraris.
Launched at Frankfurt in 1985, the 328 is the direct development of the 308 Quattrovalvole: the same Pininfarina architecture with body-coloured bumpers, revised skirts and a fresh interior, powered by an enlarged 3.2-litre four-valve V8.
It ran only four seasons before the 348 replaced it in 1989, and the late-production cars — ABS and revised suspension geometry from 1988 — are widely regarded as the sharpest, best-resolved iteration of the shape.
The 328 is the final and best-sorted version of the Pininfarina mid-engined V8 line that began with the 308. For the earlier 3.0-litre carb, injection and Quattrovalvole cars, see the separate 308 buyer's guide.
| Variant | Years | Production | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 328 GTB | 1985–1989 | 1,344 | Fixed-roof coupe. 3.2-litre V8 with 266 bhp / 270 PS. Rarer of the two bodystyles. |
| 328 GTS | 1985–1989 | 6,068 | Targa-roof; the majority of 328 production. Same drivetrain as GTB. |
| 328 GTB / GTS (late ABS cars) | 1988–1989 | Not separately recorded | ABS as standard, revised suspension geometry, convex wheels. Widely regarded as the definitive iteration. |
Start with identity, paperwork and originality. For the Ferrari 328, the strongest cars have continuous ownership history, matching numbers where applicable, original books and tools, factory build documentation and evidence of work by manufacturer-approved specialists. Late-production ABS cars, original paint, matching numbers, documented Ferrari service history and complete book/tool set.
Tipo F105C 3.2-litre transverse V8 with Bosch K-Jetronic injection and Marelli Microplex ignition. Cam-belt service every 3–5 years is non-negotiable and can be done in situ by an experienced Ferrari specialist. The Microplex ignition module and the original fuse board are known age-related failure items and are routinely replaced with modern equivalents. A proper pre-purchase inspection includes cold-start behaviour, ECU diagnostics and fault-code history (where applicable), leak-down or compression testing, underbody photography, suspension and chassis inspection, brake condition and a long enough road test to expose heat-related faults. Deferred maintenance on a car of this class is almost always more expensive than buying a better-sorted example.
Use a paint-depth gauge, lift access and a specialist familiar with the model's factory panel gaps and finish standards. Collector value is dramatically affected by structural repairs, refinished panels, poor paintwork and missing factory trim or option content. Documented cosmetic refresh is acceptable; concealed accident or fire damage must be priced severely.
Late-production ABS cars (1988–1989) in original colour with continuous history lead. The GTS targa is the more numerous and more tradable body; GTB coupes trade at a modest rarity premium. Specification, colour, options and limited-build variants move values significantly. Buy the best-documented example in the most desirable specification you can justify, rather than a tired example of a rarer derivative that will need years of corrective work.

January 2026 Mecum Kissimmee standout 328 results recorded with the sale-house lot record; treated as directional ceilings rather than a confirmed new standard tier pending corroboration.
The best-sorted iteration of the Pininfarina mid-engined V8 line and the final gated-manual, analogue mid-Ferrari before the 348. Late-production ABS cars in original colour with continuous history should continue to lead; mid-grade cars will track inflation.
