WISE INVESTMENT:

Now's the time to invest in a Ferrari and for several reasons, all of which make good economic sense. Think about it. The financial world has never settled since the recession.  Stocks go up and down; the real estate market is in a constant state of flux. Europe’s economy has had its fair share of troubles. Yet Art and Ferraris are going only one direction and that’s up.  Ferraris are an international commodity. They're desired from Beverly Hills to Beijing and bought, sold and shipped as such.

 

They're not making any more 328 Ferrari’s while they continue to mine for new gold and diamonds. India, China and Russia, the emerging economies, will add nearly 3 billion consumers to the 1 billion current Ferrari consumer categories (USA-Europe-Japan).  As those economies strengthen there will be an ever increasing demand for older/classic, Ferraris. Modern legislation means there will never be cars that look like the older/classic sculpted Ferraris designed by Pinin Farina.  Ferraris will continue to be great machines, but they will not be the cars built under Enzo Ferrari and designed by Pinin Farina when Ferrari truly was “Ferrari.”  

 

Supply and demand set price. Dino’s are pushing $300k to $400k.  Pinin Farina, the same designer who designed the Dino also designed the Ferrari 328. The Ferrari 328 is the Dino’s successor. In the last several years the once unloved Ferrari 330GT 2+2 has gone from $30k to more than $100k!  Now is the time to buy your quality older/classic Ferrari’s…while they are still affordable. The Ferrari 328 is arguably one of the best looking Ferrari’s of the last 40 years.  

 

HISTORY:

According to the publication Sports Car Market, “In my opinion the 328 is the best built, most reliable Ferrari ever. PERIOD. It is the product of a dozen years of 308 experience. It was solidly constructed with a steel body welded to an oval tube frame. It featured simple Bosch fuel injection, a go/no-go electronic ignition system and an engine you serviced without removing from the car.  Most important, it was the last Ferrari that could be repaired by a good import shop. The following generation of V8 Ferraris evolved into temples to high tech gadgetry. When something goes wrong with one of these technological marvels, you have to truck your car to an authorized Ferrari dealer—they’re the only place that has the computer necessary to fix your car.”

 

I am the 3rd owner of this beautiful Ferrari. This vehicle has been meticulously maintained with all proper paperwork and documentation. The vehicle has only been serviced by a Ferrari Dealer and certified Ferrari mechanics.  

 

This car originated from Ferrari Kessler Auto Group in NYC in 1987. The first owner traded the car to Ferrari Miller Motors of Greenwich, CT in 1994 (Kessler Auto Group left NYC to become Ferrari Miller Motors) with 14,662 miles. The second owner purchased the car from Ferrari Miller Motors in 1994. The third owner (me) purchased the car in 2012 with 31,000 miles.

 

DETAILS:

Exterior is in flawless condition. The car was repainted by the second owner by a highly recommended exotic car auto body shop from Ferrari Miller Motors. Paint shows no scratches, dents, swirls marks or imperfections. You will not find a nicer paint job on a 328 and I consistently get compliments at car shows on how flawless this car looks!

 

Interior is great condition for its age showing some aging and wear. Carpets, dashboard, and roof liner are in pristine condition.  Only flaw is a small quarter inch wear mark in drivers side seat (see photo).

 

Professionally installed Alpine CD/Audio System including 6.5” component speaker system and amplifier.

 

SERVICES:

Full services completed by Ferrari Miller Motor Cars, Greenwich, CT (this car has two major services within its lifetime with the last major service being done less than 3,000 miles ago).

 

16,179 miles the following services were completed:

Dealer installed new clutch (when traded-in 1994)

 

24,430 miles the following services were completed:

31,200 miles the following services were completed:

The vehicle is garage stored and used only on various weekends throughout the summer season after the roads are cleaned from the winter sand/salt. Vehicle comes with all accessories, tools, manuals, covers and service/history documentation.

 

I even have the original window sticker from 1987 and original dealer bill of sale! The Ferrari 328 is the last real Ferrari designed by Pinin Farina and is timeless in design. The 3.2-litre V8 engine is one of Ferrari's most reliably motors with the lowest maintenance costs. If you’re looking for a stunning classic Ferrari that has been well cared for, this is the vehicle for you!

 

According to Ferrari Market Letter Ferrari 328GTS's are going up in value significantly and can only increase as they become rarer. Ferrari 328's are the continuation of the bloodline started with the 246's then evolved into 308's and finally vastly improved 328's. 328's are considered the most reliable and maintenance free of Enzo era Ferrari's.

Race Recap: 2014 Spanish Grand Prix is boom and bust [spoilers]

Mon, 12 May 2014

The Spanish Grand Prix's 2.892-mile Circuit de Catalunya is considered a preview for the rest of the season, since it's a combination of long front straight and twisting middle sectors mimic sections from every other Formula One track to follow. After the long break following the flyaway races to open the season, teams and fans have also been looking forward to this race to see if anyone had a realistic hope of catching Mercedes AMG Petronas; Infiniti Red Bull Racing honcho Christian Horner boiled his team's outlook for the season down to the line, "We've got to [beat them in Spain] if we're going to make a championship of it."
If we take that as our starting point then the weekend began as a bust. Lewis Hamilton only just beat Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg for pole, the Brit's final effort getting him 0.178 seconds clear of the German. Daniel Ricciardo, proving Red Bull is at least the best of the rest, took third but did so more than a second behind Hamilton. Valtteri Bottas of Williams lined up fourth, almost 1.5 second behind and Romain Grosjean delivered overdue good news for Lotus by taking fifth on the grid, more than 1.7 seconds behind pole. Kimi Räikkönen in sixth outqualified his Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso in seventh, but he couldn't be happy about it because the Ferraris were nearly two seconds behind, and Jenson Button in eighth in the McLaren was more than two second behind. Felipe Massa put the second Williams in ninth, and Sebastian Vettel overcame a terrible start to the weekend to make it into Q3, then didn't set a time when his gearbox failed, then got dropped five places to 15th on the grid when the gearbox had to be changed.
When the lights went out, then came the boom...

Ford GT40 makes historic return to racing at Goodwood

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Is there a more iconic, American racecar than the Ford GT40? That may be a discussion for another day (although by all means, tell us how wrong we are in Comments), but this video of heaps of GT40s running in the Goodwood Revival races certainly has us thinking that Ford's Ferrari-killer might just be the best racer the Land Of The Free and Home Of The Brave has ever come up with.
That's completely ignoring the fact that the GT40 was largely developed by Brits using American money, but that's besides the point (there was also a rather brash Texan, who had a big role later in development). The resulting vehicle was dominant, besting the cars of Il Commendatore from 1966 to 1969, although it should be noted that Ford's GT40 was unable to beat Ferrari in its first two Le Mans outings in 1964 and 1965.
Those four years of dominance, which started with Ford sweeping the podium, were enough to establish the GT40's legend. And now, here we are almost 50 years later, celebrating the mid-engined monsters at Goodwood, in their first ever one-make race. Take a look below for the entire video.

Ferrari 458 Speciale already sold out for first year

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

Ferrari tends to sell its models out extremely quickly - its wait lists are the stuff of legend. That's especially true when the cars in question are of the fastest or most exclusive variety. If new reports are to be believed, Maranello has already sold the entire 499-unit production run of its new LaFerrari hypercar, and now Australia's Motoring is claiming that Ferrari has also filled its order book for the entire first year's production run of its new 458 Speciale.
For those unfamiliar, the 458 Speciale follows in a proud line of hardcore mid-engined V8 Ferraris in the footsteps of the 360 Challenge Stradale and 430 Scuderia. It's lighter, more powerful and more aerodynamically advanced than the 458 Italia upon which it's based, and just trails half a second behind the more powerful F12 Berlinetta (and the aforementioned LaFerrari) as the third-quickest road car ever to lap the Italian automaker's Fiorano test track. That means it's quicker even than the 599 GTO and Enzo.
Although we've yet to receive official word, we're expecting a sticker price approaching $300,000 - about a quarter more than the 458 Italia. But that doesn't appear to have stopped Ferrari from raking in the orders. Check it out in our substantially updated image gallery above.
