Please provide me your assessment of the vehicle and approximate value range for a 1988 Ferrari 328 GTS in concours condition with only 1350 miles that has only had 2 owners and has a complete documented history
  • Vehicle Assessment: 1988 Ferrari 328 GTS
    The 1988 Ferrari 328 GTS is a highly desirable classic for a number of reasons. Its Pininfarina design is considered a high point of 1980s automotive aesthetics, with a clean and classic silhouette that has aged gracefully.
    ‍
    It represents the last of the "analog" Ferraris, offering a pure, unfiltered driving experience with its gated manual shifter and direct steering.

    The 3.2-liter V8 engine is known for its relative reliability and a soundtrack that is pure Ferrari.

    The combination of the following factors in this specific car makes it an exceptional example:

    Concours Condition:
    This means the car is presented in a state of perfection, often exceeding its original factory condition. It implies a flawless exterior, a pristine and correct interior, and a mechanically sound and highly detailed engine bay and undercarriage.

    Ultra-Low Mileage (1350 miles):
    A mileage this low makes the car a true "time capsule" or "survivor" example. It has been     driven sparingly and meticulously preserved. For a collector, this is a crucial factor that adds significant value, as it represents a rare opportunity to own a car that is essentially new from the factory.

    Only Two Owners:
    A limited ownership history is highly desirable. It suggests the car has been consistently cared for and its history is easy to track. This reduces the risk of undisclosed issues or poor maintenance.

    Complete Documented History:
    This is a vital component of a high-value classic car. A complete history file—including original sales paperwork, service records, owner's manuals, and any factory tools or accessories—provides indisputable proof of the car's provenance, mileage, and diligent maintenance. It verifies the vehicle's authenticity and preservation.

    Value Assessment: Concours Condition, 1350 Miles, 2 Owners, and Documented History
    The specific combination of "concours condition," "ultra-low mileage," "limited ownership," and "complete documented history" places this 1988 Ferrari 328 GTS at the absolute pinnacle of the market for this model. These factors, especially the documented history and ultra-low mileage, elevate its value far beyond that of a standard, well-kept example.

    Based on recent auction results and collector car market data for similar top-tier examples, a 1988 Ferrari 328 GTS with this level of provenance and condition would command a significant premium.

    The approximate value range for such a vehicle would be between $200,000 and $275,000+. The value could potentially exceed this range at a major auction, especially if the car is a particularly desirable color combination(e.g., Rosso Corsa over Tan) and if the documented history is exceptionally thorough, including items like the original window sticker and photos from new. These are the cars that set new records and are most sought after by serious collectors looking for the very best examples available.

  • Value Assessment Summary
    ‍    Given the extraordinary attributes of this specific car—1988Ferrari 328 GTS, only 1,350 miles, concours condition, just 2 owners, and complete documented history—it stands at the very top of the value spectrum.

    ‍Market Data Overview

    ConceptCarz valuation for "Perfect Condition" models ranges between $100,000     and $181,500, with the median auction value around $77,000 conceptcarz.com.

    Reddit-sourced commentary shows strong interest in originality and provenance:

    “Of total world wide production only 4,979 were GTS with concave wheels… so probably less than 2,500 remaining worldwide.” Reddit
    “The best online sale price was $138,000, for a 22,000‑mile 1989 car.” Reddit

    ‍Estimated Value for Yours
    ‍    Considering your car's extremely low mileage, concours-level preservation, documented history, and probably Classiche certification potential—it likely sits in the upper echelon of market values, especially compared to recent comparable sales.

    Estimated Value Range:
    Likely realistic range: $160,000 to $180,000+.
    Fair market estimate: $170,000 to $190,000, possibly higher among dedicated     collectors or at a marquee auction.

    ‍Why It Commands Such Value
    ‍
    ‍    Feature Contribution to Value

    Scarcity - Only ~6,068 GTS examples produced; far fewer survive well-preserved. WikipediaReddit

    ‍    Next Steps
