Good stuff! Thanks for going into this level of detail. It's rather unusual to see such transparency regarding the work done on these cars and I appreciated seeing it all documented this way. The photos were excellent in showing the "before and after" and that adds a lot. I was comparing with my own experience as my Mondial 3.2 had it's own engine out service, a few years ago. As you indicated, 308 values have gone up considerably in recent years. So, dollar-wise, you are STILL ahead. It's great that you are both so positive and upbeat about it, even with all the "bad news", and the whole process (time+money) that was needed to remedy all the issues. The reward for your efforts is you now have a beautiful example of the 308 and with it, a potential concours winner!

I still dont own a 308 (been trying to hunt down the right one for 6 months now), but I have to say the thing that realy stood out to me with the cars I have looked at is that the suppleness of the materials isnt something I have seen in other cars of the era. I have 0 doubt that porsches are just better designed, but they realy dont have the same physical material quality feel IMO

Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable video. I've been watching the 308 videos on Number 27 channel and KZbin recommended this one. What an absolutely stunning car. I love what you've done to it and the way you have carried out every task exactly the right way. You are also fortunate having some very talented technicians to do work on the car. Despite what it has cost, 308s in this kind of condition must be worth far, far more these days. If I was an envious person I would be envious!

Thanks Phil! Initially I wanted to tear into this myself, but I believe it was the correct decision to let the experts handle this. That stuck head would have been a disaster. I know it seems drastic, but the decision was made to not do further damage to the block and we could always replace the head (we did check first). It runs like a dream now :)

Heidi & Franny: Great video! I was glad to see that you fixed everything properly and did the additional prospective maintenance that was appropriate once you had the engine out. I had several Italian sports cars during college and law school, and my first "nice" car was a used 1978 Alfa Romeo GTV Coupe. Although not in the same class as your Ferrari, it needed substantial (read expensive) work every few weeks. In retrospect, I should have done what you did with your Ferrari, that is, fix everything at the beginning, and then enjoy it. I hope you have many years of enjoyment with your Ferrari.

Thanks for going into all the detail costs of ownership. I thought about getting a 308 but have seen other videos like this one and the cost of ownership just worried me too much. But you are correct that you still have a lot less invested in your 308 than the normal purchase price of one now. If I purchased one now, I might not know if it was well-sorted even with a PPI. I also considered a 360 but finding one well-sorted is also an issue. The 09 Cayman I have is my first venture into the world of Porsche so I got one with a 5-year "bumper to bumper" warranty. I'm having all the required maintenance done on schedule and I think the two prior owners must have done the same (but I have no records other than what's on the CARFAX). It is the nicest car I've ever owned. Safe travels!

It's the cheapest car I ever owned and it's still wonderful. Every car nut should own a Ferrari at some point in their life. The icing on the cake is that it can be a good investment too.

And your shop is always spotless. Not hard to maintain that image if you're only doing a video every couple of months, but you are continually doing videos in cramped quarters. Spectacular! Oh, I recently purchased a 1969 Series II Jaguar E-Type FHC. How do you feel about buying one yourself so I can watch how to fix it?!! Ha! Best of 2020 to you both!

Interesting, well documented project. Like they say, "in for a penny, in for a pound". Great focus. When it got to the point of your having to cut the head off the engine, I was thinking LS , or LT swap. All aluminum, way more horsepower and torque, inexpensive parts, and easy to work on. At the end of the day, it's great that you were able to save a survivor. Take care.

PS, on the cost, amazing that you knew what to do and had that all done and plus the work you did personally,, yes was a lot of money, but when you think about it a lot of cars today are over 50k with tax etc.. and they devalue as soon as you drive out of the show room... but you have a Ferrari, classic. I am Italian born so I am a bit prejudiced toward them.hehe.. the most I have had was a 1975 124sports coupe ( the hard top) and a 124 spider when I was a teen.. wish I still had the 124sports coupe, congrats once again.. .

This is a great video!! Your info on the QV heads may have saved me from making a purchasing mistake! I was about ready to buy a 3.2QV Mondial! I had big costs on running my 1993 Mondial t where the engine has to come out for servicing! That car also needed a replacement Catalytic converter at £2790 or $4000 plus new suspension bushes and new rear shockers. Big bills!! I love the events of The Ferrari Owners’ Club, & I think another 308GT4 is probably the better choice on running costs, if I can afford the latest crazy prices to buy another!

Yes, if you are used to working with German cars and parts, there is some overlap. It will make you smile. For example, the fuses. The Ferrari is also quite different from Porsches too. Get a thorough PPI before you buy and make sure it has had the belts done properly at a certified shop. Last if all, realize there are some markers on the engine at 60K miles, so if if has that kind of mileage, you could be in for new valves. I can go on and on. Feel free to email us on our website with questions. Heidi

Hi David, the fuel distributor seems to be operating well. I know it is susceptible to bad/dirty fuel, but I think that has not been an issue with our car. The WUR was suspect and I think it was a good move to get it looked at (at CIS Flowtech). They did a great job and the car starts very consistently and runs great! As I know you know, when sorted these cars are super reliable and just a joy to drive :)

Just started watching you ladies, I watched the videos on the suspension refurbishment first then watched your video on the cost of buying the car. Ok so here I go first of all I’m a Ferrari nut from Scotland, never owned one but am so happy that a new dealership is opening 15 min from my home so great. Claim to fame is having a 360 spider for the weekend, took my old mum out in it for a drive, she loved it, also having my picture taken with Nikki Laura when he was at Ferrari at the British GP, one to remember. Anyway I am a mechanic to trade but was pretty rubbish at this and found my career elsewhere however I still relate to all the videos around car works and know what is happening. Your 5 videos around the suspension refurbishment was unreal, believe it or not I actually showed my wife the one where you displayed the new nuts and bolts and also how you managed the whole job, as my wife said it takes a woman to be organised on anything not just cars. Hats off to you both as the quality of your enthusiasm and work is brilliant, I follow all the various people on this site like Scott and also our daft but funny Canadian with his Ferrari but fair play ladies you have won my heart, if I am lucky enough to ever own one you guys are doing the restoration. Love and best wishes from Ian at Bonnie Scotland. Xxx ,

I love how these cars look. Wish I could afford one. I did own a Porsche 1977 911 at one point. Fun car

I think the repair costs are inherent and factored into the purchase price. This isn’t really a $40k car if it’s in good condition. This late model QV spider is the exact 308 I’d want, and I’d be willing to fully repair and restore it even if the total cost ends up being $70-$85k.

The 308 is my absolute favorite car, though I prefer the earliest carburetted models. I almost bought one of those during the depths of the last recession when they could be had as low as the mid 20s, but I didn't, and have left that dream behind. In reality, if it's not something that can serve as a daily driver, it's just going to be a big paperweight. So I bought a Porsche 924S-with 'needs'. No one will ever want to steal it, or key it, or likely even pay attention to it. But they have character and I have no problem spending 4x (or more) what it could ever be worth fixing it. If you like a car, it's worth it. I just wish there was an insurance product that would allow me to insure it properly...They won't 'let you' pay higher premiums to insure it for a value above blue book, which I find odd...

Wow, what an interesting video! I would have thought that Ferraris had longer service intervals then that but as you point out, a lot depends on how it's used, or not used. I suspect that (like motorbikes) not being driven regularly often does as much damage as running it into the ground. And bathing it in road dirt doesn't help. Reminds me of a story about a Jeep GC that lived on rural Kansas roads paved with crushed limestone..... but that's long story. Glad you got things sorted and the story ended well, it's a beautiful car that you should be proud of. Thanks for sharing!

Yep, sounds about right for a Ferrari but really , in the end, you came out ahead! Plus, 308’s are only going up in value, soon to be unobtainium. Beautiful car, btw! Really like the 308 Q.V. Euro spec! Almost pulled the trigger on one for a steal but dropped the ball. Now I’m kicking myself. Great job gals! I’m jealous!
