Ferrari 328 GTS Parts & Accessories

The Ferrari 328 GTS is the Targa-roof variant of the 328 platform and the most commercially successful of the entire 308/328 family, with Pininfarina styling that combined the accessibility of open-air driving with the structural benefits of a fixed windscreen frame and removable hardtop panel. Owners of the 328 GTS work with the same 3.2-liter Bosch Motronic-injected V8 as the GTB berlinetta, meaning engine service parts are shared across both variants, while Targa-specific body components including the roof panel seals, storage compartment liners, and B-pillar hardware are unique to the GTS. The 328 GTS remains one of the most driven classic Ferraris in the world, valued for its combination of usable performance, manageable maintenance costs, and the unmistakable Pininfarina silhouette that makes it instantly recognizable on any road. Keeping one in proper mechanical health requires a steady supply of correctly specified parts for both the engine and the open-top body structure.

Popular Upgrades

Timing belt replacement kits with water pump, tensioner, and cam cover gaskets top the service parts list for the 328 GTS due to the interference V8's sensitivity to belt condition and age. Bosch Motronic 2.5 injection components including fuel pressure regulators, idle control valves, and injector rebuild kits address the most common running issues on aging injection systems. Targa roof panel rubber seals, door seals, engine access hatch seals, and B-pillar top hardware are regularly replaced on cars that have suffered from years of open-air use and UV exposure. Suspension bushings, Koni or Bilstein shock absorbers, brake caliper rebuild kits, and Ferodo friction pads round out the essential maintenance parts for track preparation and touring events.

Performance and Handling

The 328 GTS uses the same revised double-wishbone suspension geometry as the GTB, calibrated to manage the 270-horsepower output of the 3.2-liter V8 with predictable balance through corners. The Targa body adds modest weight over the GTB berlinetta but Ferrari's engineers reinforced the sills and floor structure sufficiently that chassis flex is not perceptible during normal road driving. Refreshing worn suspension bushings on a 328 GTS dramatically improves steering feel and corner entry precision, since the original rubber components degrade significantly after thirty-five years and reduce the accuracy of the steering geometry. Matching fresh suspension work with properly bedded Ferodo brake pads and correctly balanced wheels restores the driving experience that made the 328 GTS the enthusiast benchmark of its era.

What are the most common maintenance issues on the Ferrari 328 GTS?

The timing belt service is the single most important maintenance item on the 328 GTS due to the interference engine design and the age-related degradation of the rubber belt compound, which can fail without mileage warning. Idle and cold-start issues are common on aging Motronic injection systems and are usually traced to the idle speed controller, auxiliary air valve, or throttle position sensor, all of which are serviceable components. Fuel pump failure is also a known issue on high-mileage cars and high-storage-time cars, and replacing the in-tank pump proactively during a major service prevents the stranding scenario that results from unexpected pump failure.

Is it difficult to find parts for a Ferrari 328 GTS?

The 328 GTS benefits from relatively strong parts availability compared to older Ferraris, partly because of its production volume and partly because of the global community of marque specialists who have built supply chains for these cars over several decades. Mechanical components including belts, pumps, bushings, and brake hardware are generally available through specialist suppliers, while some cosmetic and trim items require patience to source correctly. Having a reliable supply relationship with a parts provider who catalogs items by specific 328 chassis and body variant makes a measurable difference in service turnaround time and parts accuracy.

Why These Parts Fit Right

Parts in this collection are cataloged by the 328 GTS body specification and 3.2-liter engine configuration, with fitment notes that identify Targa-specific components separately from items shared with the GTB. Vehicle-specific compatibility information reduces incorrect orders and return shipping costs. Orders ship fast from stocked inventory so your service schedule stays on track.
