Someone in that thread also said that the 328 was the last of the DIY friendly Ferraris (as ar as Ferraris go, anyway). There is a local fellah with a 328 and he told me the same thing, the 328 isn't as quick or mdern feeling as a 348, but much easier to troubleshoot & work on.
Funny, last night I almost posted about Testarossas... I just can't get over the prices. Plenty of great cars for 50K, and if you hunt around there seem to be some nice ones for <40k. Seems pretty extraordinary for the Ferrari flagship of the 80's. Equivalent Countaches seem to be 2x the price... I know they are more "exotic" but the Testarossa seems so much more driveable. Why are 512bb's worth 2x a Testarossa? Am I missing something?
And while we're on the topic of Ferraris, anyone else here perversely attracted to the "orphan" models? GT4, Mondial, 412? |
TR's where factory made rather than hand built. That makes a difference in the long run on value - also BB's are much harder to get parts for, making parts cars worth a lot - which drove up the price of a good car by even more. BB's high prices are a "recent" happening of the past five years or so.
