Hello all,

I used to lurk around this site a few years back when I was thinking of my first Ferrari. I moved to Ireland for 3 years and am now back in Los Angeles and am softly re-entering the market for a 328 GTS I think.....

I am doing my homework and reading all I can about this vintage Ferrari....I will come to you guys for advice once I am ready to pull the trigger and start shopping.

Love these cars.....its time for me to have one.

Welcome officially to the forum Shane! This forum is a great wealth of information for potential owners. Good luck in the search for the perfect Ferrari!

Welcome Shane. Download the homework from this site in the Buyer's Guide for that 328.

BTW: What year are you considering? There are some differences in there.

Hello Rik,

I am just starting my research.....I was going to ask someone for this info as some point but what are the differences over the few years the GTS was built? any preferred years? I will do a search for this stuff now.....but any input from folks who are reading is welcomed!

I am NOT an expert on this, but the largest diff, IIRC was ABS in the 328 last years.

I've made too many mistakes on items I have no direct knowledge, so I'll defer.

MANY here have had a 3x8 series.
