I Bought a Fire Destroyed Ferrari and Fully Restored it in 12 Days

[@Ratarossa]

Loved working on this 430 with you Sam, such a great project. That fire damage that would put most buyers off was a fairly simple fix. This doesn’t mean you can now buy whistling diesels F8 Ferrari and expecting me to work magic on it 😉😉😉

[@murry001]

Although, i'd laugh to see a youtuber attempt to rebuild whistlin diesels Ferrari. Like a parody version hahaha

[@6581punk]

Well to be honest, the work wasn't complex but it is the knowledge you require which makes it possible. Knowing about the pumps being flawed, knowing where to get sensibly priced replacement parts, where to get the wiring loom etc.

[@LymanGreen]

Psyched to see you pop up in Sam’s video, hope it drives new folks to your channel, you deserve it. Sam acknowledging your expertise is also nice I’d imagine!

The biggest upshot of owning a salvage Ferrari is you could put miles on it without worrying too much about the resale value. This looks like a car you should just enjoy and drive once it's finished.

[@lusoamericanpatriot1984]

That’s why James (Stradman), bought a rebuilt titled 430 Scuderia for that reason as well! 😎👍💯🐎🇮🇹🚗

[@Sandermaner]

Until it burns to the ground again. How many more Ferrari / Lambo fire vids until this shit gets called out? A 20 year old used Ford/Merc/Nissan/whatever will never catch fire. But a 6 digit piece of Italian thrash shows up on KZbin burned out. What a joke.

[@shawnhicks619]

Also the more miles you put on after it’s repaired has less of an impact. It’s never going to be highly desired but it will always have a market.

26:00 I'm surprised ferrari hasn't had a class action lawsuit over those fuel pumps......same as the sticky buttons....what should fail is the pump mechanism NOT the connections or housing.....

[@rockerthekid]

You're not wrong but the people who drive cars like this don't need money. They aren't going to waste time on legal proceedings only to be rewarded with something that's not worthwhile to them.

[@xsleep1]

How about a recall?

[@tony_25or6to4]

If it was an American car company, there probably would have been. It's a safety issue.

Not to mention the rear lights breaking off.

[@ndivhorambau1149]

Ferrari's clients would never want to ruin their relationship with the brand, sometimes i believe that they build better cars for their long time client's

[@HagakureJunkie]

V-Tune is amazing. Warming the panel before installation because the bond dries better with heat is genius!

[@shoogafree1]

Great vid. The last two trucks I've bought have been salvage, and it's so rewarding to turn them around. Lots of folks on social media hate on salvage vehicles - probably because they've never resurrected one. Nice work.

[@jnc07res]

This has to be the sweetest rebuild on your channel ever. Cheers to all the talented guys that made it happen.

[@dianeruiz0721]

Hi Sam, I’ve been watching you for a long time. I have to say I’m really proud of you on this one. Yes I agree with you. I would’ve totally done the same thing. You bought your dream car. at half the cost. You also learned a lot on the way. That alone is always a great thing. I’m a car fanatic as well, so maybe I’m not the voice of reason, but you’re lifetime dreams are something that you can’t put a price on. I also think that the rebuild BMW that you auctioned off for charity was a wonderful thing you did. It’s good that you have surrounded yourself with some great people who are there for you. I I hope you’re still married after that Lincoln snafu, but nothing ventured nothing gained. Again I would’ve done the same thing. I think you and I are cut from the same cloth! Regards from Tampa. Keep bringing the phenomenal content! Diane xo ❤
