Among the vehicles you expect to see on Facebook, a barn find Ferrari is not one of them. It’s amazing how much a social media site has disrupted the automotive classifieds landscape; to this day, the death of craigslist remains one of the more baffling missteps in the history of e-commerce. I know, I know – there are still plenty of good vehicles on craigslist, but I find the bulk of the inventory now resides on Marketplace. Regardless, a Ferrari 328 in this sort of condition would be a shock to see on either page, but you’ll find this 1996 model listed here on Facebook Marketplace for $74,000 firm.

Now, my first reaction was that this looked a little too – I don’t know, perfect? The Ferrari sits on flat tires, yes, but it doesn’t seem to have the kind of filth that would be associated with barn storage for 20 years, as the listing claims. I tried to zoom in on the plate, as it appears to either be a temporary tag or perhaps a dealer plastic insert. Regardless, there are some pockets of dirt and the car cover is in tatters, but all of that can be manufactured if someone is desperate enough to cause a stir. Additionally, this looks like the backdrop of someone who trades in old C10 pickups and the occasional Harley; dropping a Ferrari 328 GTS into this setting seems awfully random.

But then, my faith was slightly restored because I wanted to call foul on the front passenger wheel; it clearly wasn’t chrome and it just looked off – perhaps the wonders of AI? But as you scroll through the listing, you’ll see that it’s clear the spare tire was swapped on to either get the car rolling, or perhaps it’s been sitting way for years – the tire was quite flat. In the shop photos post-extraction, it now rides on the original chrome wheel on the front right side, and it looks correct. The antenna is still bent as it was in the barn photos. The paint certainly cleaned up well, but it’s nothing like the interior.

The cabin was truly a shock, as I thought for sure it would be covered in dirt and evidence of rodents. Perhaps it was, and if there was a mice infestation, you’d not want to share that photo for fear of ruining the experience for anyone weighing a barn find Ferrari purchase. Like all neglected Ferraris, it will require an engine-out belt service, along with a full cooling system refresh and I’m guessing a lot more. Budget $20,000, conservatively, and likely more to get the Ferrari back on the road. Hearing that 3.2L V8 and its 270 horses come back to life? Completely worth it, I suspect.
