Great video thank you for posting. I am looking forward to enjoying this story as it unfolds. Will you be replacing the shocks and springs while you deal with the suspension, seeing that they have been in the car for almost 45 years since 1980?

Shocks were in good condition so just a strip down and refinish, no need to send them for recondition this time. Springs pretty much the same, powdercoat and back on 🙂

Cant remember off the top of my head, but i would always recommend getting hold of the manual. Easiest way to get a copy would be from the 330 registry (330gt.com) its where i got one of my digital copies from for free a while back 👍

Seems like challenge of a Ferrari is in owning them, rather than working on them. Gives me confidence to see you wrenching on them as easily as any other, and maybe I can find all of my future 308 GT4’s known issues and fix them as soon as I buy it and make it a reasonably reliable daily driver? Thanks for the videos.

At the end of the day they are still just a car like any other, i guess im a little bias as i have grown up working on them. When the day comes and you have your future GT4 i should hopefully be here to help if needed. As a daily driver you should have no issues, they really are brilliantly reliable and fun cars, so long as you keep on top of the general maintenance

Slow or non-op electric windows are a flaw from the factory. The grease they used quickly hardens and needs to be removed and replaced. Once that’s done I bet the windows will work speedily and the motors will prove to be fine.

I’d probably steer you toward a 430, less costly on maintenance than a 360 as it’s on timing chain rather than belts, and more reliable as more developed than a 360 and less electronic than a California. A good 430 is definitely the way to go 👍🏻

Instrument cluster is classically cool. 😎 Great project and fun to see something that’s not high dollar restored properly.

This is an unnecessary video in my opinion. Bad-mouthing Ferrari models that other people like a lot. The Ferrari California is very pretty and super nice to drive car that offers a lot of joy. The 612 may not be the most beautiful Ferrari, but it is a great pleasure to drive - ant the interior is excellent. The negative argument about the FF is just absurd - what would you need 4WD for at very high speeds? Are you a rally driver, or what? The 4WD system of the FF and the GTC4 Lusso is in fact a very smart concept. So I don't understand the purpose of this video. Not really convincing.
