Whether you're willing to admit it or not, we have dreamed of owning a real supercar at one point, no matter how old it is. Be it from the modern era or the golden age of machines, it would be our prize and joy and one of the reasons that get us out of bed in the morning.
It could be a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, a Porsche, or even a Nissan or a Honda, as in the right spec, it would be the stuff of dreams. Speaking of dreams, are you still looking for a great blue-blooded machine with a nice gated manual transmission? How about a Ferrari 328?
This model was put together from 1985 to 1989, and the 348, F355, and 360 succeeded it. The series then continued with the F430, the 458, 488, and the modern-day F8, which was recently discontinued. It wears Pininfarina's signature all over it, and as you already know, it stays true to the rear mid-engine and rear-wheel drive recipe.
Factor in the awesome gated manual transmission (no auto option available), which has five forward gears in this case, and you've got a great weekend car that's waiting to be pushed where the legislation and road allow it. A 3.2L V8 supplies the firepower, and it is a naturally aspirated unit making 270 hp (275 ps/201 kW) when the car left the assembly line at the Maranello factory in Italy.

This 1987 Ferrari 328 GTS has been with the same owner since new, who has always serviced it at Cauley Ferrari. At the time of cataloging, it had 51,153 miles (82,323 km) on the clock, and despite being almost 40 years old, it still looks ready to inject adrenaline into its occupants whenever the person sitting in the driver's seat abuses the right pedal.
The classic supercar has a white paint finish, retro-painted matched Epsilon wheels, a beige leather interior, and no tuning touches. Thus, what you see is what you get, namely, an old Ferrari with a gated manual that still has a lot of life left in it. Its future owner's pockets should be deep enough, as the maintenance isn't cheap. Moreover, they mustn't be afraid of elbow grease, as doing some of the work on their own would save them a lot of money.
Garage Kept Motors advertises this exotic spider on its website here, and it will cost you a cool $92,900 to sign your name on the dotted line. Yep, that's a lot of money for an old supercar, but we've seen muscle cars fetch much more than that. So, in the end, what would you want? A pony model or a real exotic? Sign us up for this one!
