Ferrari 328 GTS (1987) – The last stage of the evolution

Ferrari 328 GTS (1987) Emil Frey Classic Auctions (3)

When Ferrari presented the 328 in 1985, it was not a new development, but rather the logical evolution of the 308 Quattrovalvole. An increase in displacement, detailed improvements and visual retouches made the 308 the most technically advanced version of this series, which had been in production since 1975.

The basic concept remained unchanged: transversely mounted V8 engine, space frame, double wishbones, five-speed transaxle. The displacement grew from 2.9 to 3.2 litres. In the European version, the engine produced 270 hp, and 255 hp in the catalytic converter version.

By 1989, 7,412 units of the 328 had been produced, 6,068 of which were GTS models with removable roof panels – the clearly more popular variant.

The Ferrari 328 GTS (1987) on offer

The vehicle on offer here is a white Ferrari 328 GTS with red leather interior, registered in 1987. This combination was ordered much less frequently than the classic Rosso Corsa and stands out noticeably in today’s market.

The mileage is stated as approximately 67,500 kilometres. The vehicle has been owned by the same owner since 1997. According to the description, various maintenance invoices are available. A service including a timing belt change is to be carried out before the auction.

This special Ferrari 328 GTS (1987) is currently up for auction.

Market position of the 328

Today, the 328 is considered the most technically advanced version of the 308 family. While early 308 variants suffered in some cases from maintenance and workmanship issues, the 328 is credited with improved everyday usability.

In the market environment, the 328 is positioned above the 308 QV, but below later V8 designs such as the 348 or F355. It benefits from the trend towards mechanically direct, electronically unadulterated sports cars.

Market values and classification

Good vehicles in condition 2 currently range from around £95,000 to £120,000, depending on their history, originality and mileage, or the equivalent in Swiss francs.

Factors that are particularly relevant to value include a documented maintenance history, original condition, accident-free bodywork, documented timing belt intervals and complete on-board documentation.

As the 328 is a model with solid production figures, the market differentiates strongly according to quality and transparency.

Conclusion

The 1987 Ferrari 328 GTS represents the final stage of development of the classic 308 series. It combines the styling of the 1970s with technically sophisticated mechanics.

The vehicle offered here has a market-appropriate mileage, a long ownership history and is to be technically serviced before the auction.

In addition to the Ferrari 328 GTS (1987), numerous other special classics will be auctioned by Emil Frey Classic Auctions on 14 March 2026.
