Vehicle description
I purchased this car from a dealer in CA and traced the ownership back to the last "real" owner, AJS in PA who owned the car for several years and posted some of his experiences on Fchat. He told me the car was good mechanically, accident free, but needed paint. Also that he sold it with a full binder of service records to a dealer in FL. Well to cut a long story short, at some point between his ownership and mine, the service records got lost (well I managed to get the receipt for the last major in PA thanks to AJS putting me in touch with the shop), but on the upside the car was professionally repainted in the original Nero (black) and now looks stunning. After I bought the car I had Yelcab (great guy and another Fchatter) in CA do the major for me, it was due based on time but not miles as this car has done less than a thousand miles since AJS sold it. And I bought some new parts that Yelcab suggested I would need, not to install right now but probably at the next major (new distributors, rotors, plug wire, radiator cap etc.) that are all with the car. I replaced the radio, it was not functioning. I meant to do the A/C in time for TX summer (it was winter when I got it so I put that off) but I have not. I will get that working before delivering the car. About the time the 328 got to TX I got the crazy idea to build a 288GTO (well Bob Norwood is building it, I am just paying and paying and paying) and that is now almost complete, so I need the garage space. So here it goes again, hopefully this time to someone who will hang onto it and drive it for many years. It"s a stunning car in a really nice color combination. And lastly, it"s a 1988.5 which means it has the upgraded suspension but not the troublesome ABS. Many consider that to be the most desirable configuration and these cars are now appreciating steadily as buyers appreciate the timeless Pininfarina styling and the bulletproof simple mechanicals. Additional paperwork available to the serious buyer includes the ppi done by Ferrari of San Fran when I bought it (the compression was excellent!), the major done by Yelcab, the prior major done in PA.
I am flexible as to how to close on the deal but I would suggest the following: we do a bill of sale subject to whatever conditions the buyer stipulates. Buyer then has 7 days to close. If closing entails a PPI, buyer sends a $500 deposit to reserve the car in his name, by paypal or wire and upon receipt of that I will take the car to Bob Norwood in Dallas, who is the nearest F car guy I know but it"s still 175 miles away hence the deposit. We then resolve any PPI issues, I don"t expect anything material. At that point buyer wires the balance, or shows up in person with cashier"s check in hand. I sign over title (well it"s still in AJS name with multiple dealer reassignments) and buyer collects car from Bob, or has his transporter collect it. (It"s worth a visit to see the special cars Bob works on including my 288 project.) In the unlikely event there is some unresolved issue arising out of the PPI, I will refund the buyer"s deposit and buyer will be responsible for the cost of the PPI of course. If buyer passes wishes to inspect the car himself he can do that at my place near Brownwood TX as long as that happens within the 7 days.
I looked a long time for this car and I feel silly now selling it but realistically, one Ferrari at a time is enough. Well I do have a BMW 2002 Turbo but that is a special exception!
