Lol I actually just so happen to catch this on tv...notice the only part where it showed the seller shaking hands with the buyer which was Reggie Jackson it cut off the gas monkey guys face you just saw his arm shake with tattoos lol...

I knew that had to be the one that gas monkey built when it said it was involved in a crash...thanks for posting...

Yeah, that's another gripe...NEVER put stickers on a Ferrari.

I love that they replaced the pop up lights with vents. I think it looks sick. Now they just need to remove the LED lights, those are ugly.

A 1987 328 in Marrone Colorado Brown with Saddle Brown interior. I would imagine a Brown on Brown Ferrari is pretty rare, though dubiously desirable for most people.

I do too. I would think rolling up to a Cars and Coffee in that 328 would draw some eyeballs with that combo.

yeah I like that color too. it's similar to Toyota's Anthracite, which they used on MKIV Supra and 4Runners of that era (not sure it is still being used today). A color which was pretty low on the popular scale back in the day - indeed, it was referred to as "monkey shit brown" (MSB) in the Supra circles - but in retrospect is a pretty cool color. I liked it back then, too.

Supra pic for reference:

It's definitely different. Works for the car. But, again...if I'm buying that model, has to be red.

Me too. It's a beautiful car and at the price, it's not a bad deal.

I don't understand people that buy something like the 400i, which is just awful.

I like the 328.. and I also like the 400i.

the 400i is one of the last "classic" style Ferrari motorcars before they went balls out into sportscar mode

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the 400i. Looks (to me) like it should be a Lancia or an Alfa.

Strange, the one on the left doesn't have F40 embossed in the wing. Was that an option? A yearly change?

That's a serious wing

A quick search shows that it's Roland Linder's (the co-driver of the Enzo that took a bath in Canada a few years ago) F40 LM.

thanks for the update - it doesn't change how I feel about the car though.

and damn, when you are able to mod an F40 in that manner, that's when you know you are swimming in green stuff.

holy crap that Gas Monkey F40 is hot. Like on a scale of 1-10, it would be a ScarJo, Jennifer Lawrence, and Olivia Wilde threesome-hot.
