I also think that the Scud must not be converted this would be a BIG CRIME. The Scud is perfect the transmission is already fast than the regular f430 there is no need for conversion. Its a special car. You made a right decision Dan.
Scud oem exhaust is tops. No need spend money on aftermkt. You are so good at pulling engine, id say drop engine and replace all seals and do clutch job while ur there. Something somewhere leaked on that diffuser. Thats gotta be resolved. Need more details if ur gonna sell it. I trust ur car sales more than most because we get to see you actually wrench on it. Good luck!
Love the Scud! I’d rock one of those NG Supercars carbon fiber license plate frames if a guy knew where to get one. (Looked around on merch sites, no joy.)
Just get an f type, do fluids and metal coolant pipes. Bombproof car. Really. Really. 500hp.....awd. Better looking by far than the 430 (or really all recent Ferraris).
Rented a 2017 F-type this weekend in Hawaii thinking it would be special. Sorry, not even close. Rented a 04 911 turbo earlier which had better performance, throttle response, exhaust, suspension and ergonomics (and no fake noise) despite the dated interior. I bet the F430 beats both?
I AGREE NEVER CONVERT A SCUD! Dumbest suggestion anyone can make. My Scud had the exact same right hand side mounting tab come off the small center grill on the rear diffuser. It just needed to be glued back on. And yea, leather was an option on the Scud. Mine has the alcantera interior; on the dash, and headliner. I got lucky that the previous owner had the local Ferrari dealer do the annual service, install new tires, and brake pads just before putting it up for sale. Good Luck with yours!
You hava a wonderful chanel, so exiting to watch videos about 430 Scuderia. My opinion it is one of the greatest old school Ferraries. The sound of Scuderia is amazing. In February 2024 in Russia i saw a red one, it costed 300k.
This car looked good from a distance but upon closer examination it turns out that it has lots of issues. I don’t understand how someone would pay Ferrari money for a car and then not take proper care of the car.
Dan, I have a 2009 Scud with the gray wheels also. Do you have the Ferrari Paint Code for redoing them? I think the clear is a semi gloss finish??? Also, why not just polish the PPF. If it has never been polished before it should come out very nice.
@@normalguysupercar You have nothing to loose by trying, you might be impressed, there are videos on how to polish the PPF. Also, what about the Wheel Paint Code?
I heard you say something about the California on Thursday night...is it still available ? I went to the inventory page and showed it is still sold.....
The Ferrari's check engine light came on. So? Put it in the driveway and let the neighbors look at it. The Ferrari still fulfills its primary purpose, driving it is secondary.
@@normalguysupercar morale was in the crapper, the AF was hemorrhaging people, and CSAF (Welsh) was called to congress. They asked how morale was and he said "pretty darn good" and became an instant meme lol. Many of us still get Forrest Whittaker eye when we hear those words 😂😂
Agree on (non)conversion comments. Every single person who makes those has never driven a Scud. In terms of mods outside of exhaust, I would recommend the extended carbon fiber paddle shifters and antigravity battery. The exhaust and the battery will take 80 pounds out of the car alone. Other than that the thing is perfect.
Why are these cars so junky? The materials feel cheap compared to merc, bmw, and Porsche. I have no experience with Lamborghini. Are they the same way?
South Florida can be brutal on a car... heat, intense sun, regular thunderstorms and tropical storms. Be thankful the door seals were good!!!
Yes indeed
Hi Dan, wow, this white Scuderia looks great! Congratulations! I am looking forward to seeing you work on this car!
You bet

Amen
Nice car. I love the spec. Really brings out the lines.
Thank you
If you’re going to DIY, would love to see a video of you doing the headliner!
We plan to
My dream car... would own one but worried about maintenence lol look forward to seeing more vids
Maintenance isn't really that big a deal

MUCH LOVE FOR THE SCUDD !
Heck yeah
Love the white and gray stripe. 👍
Like it so much I have a 2024 C8 that’s virtually identical.
Nice!
Hand washing a car is the BEST way to find all the imperfections on the exterior.
Yup!
Cool car, love the car covers on all the cars it will keep the kitty paw prints off the cars.
Yup
Love the Scud! I’d rock one of those NG Supercars carbon fiber license plate frames if a guy knew where to get one. (Looked around on merch sites, no joy.)
Ah we can sell those I suppose. They are surprisingly expensive
@@normalguysupercar Certainly.
I agree, it looks better with out tint 👍
Yeah
I LOVE white Ferrari! I’d LOVE a white Cali! Or your Scud! Scuds are SO NICE!
Scud is amazing
love these vids
Thank you
It's all worth it just so you can say "I have a Scud" 👍
Lol yup
@@normalguysupercarThe good kind, not the one that blows up…usually. 😜
@@crazyman8472 Whenever I hear Scud, I get flashbacks of the Gulf War.
How are you going to fix the paint damage on the trim around the windows? Remove and repaint black?
Not sure yet
Beautiful car. The yellowed ppf and windshield tint don't really show up on camera. Has to be out in the sun to show?
It's pretty obvious in person
Just get an f type, do fluids and metal coolant pipes. Bombproof car. Really.

It's more common than your think

The PPF is yellow due to age, you can't polish it clear
@@normalguysupercar You have nothing to loose by trying, you might be impressed, there are videos on how to polish the PPF. Also, what about the Wheel Paint Code?
Which exhaust are you planning on? Headers too?
We will see
Such a rad car!!
Thank you
I heard you say something about the California on Thursday night...is it still available ? I went to the inventory page and showed it is still sold.....
It's sold
Nice car love your video 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! 👍
is it easy to drive on local roads? such as watching for speed limits, traffic,
Sure
Is there a way to put a Scud Transmission in a regular 430?
I'm sure there's a way
Such a beautiful spec....
Thanks
Pretty sure I’ve seen this car on the road in Miami
Entirely possible
The Scud Will Get There 👍 🚀
Oh yes
Not much else to do I guess. Would probably treat all the leather with Leatherique. Miami is hard on things.
Yes it is
Can you add the name and model of your OBD II? Thanks.
Launch x431 pro s 3+
Love it. To me, the leather dash is better.
It's interesting having a Scud with leather
Love the Scud!
Me too
If you convert the Scud, we will march on the Hub!
Lol
Are the headlights cracking yet?
They have the Scud issue
Very nice. I'd definitely remove the stripes
Oh no
The front window tint probably didn't help with spotting that deer 😑
Lol probably not!
Put a non functioning roof scoop on that bad boy. Time to pimp this ride.
Hell yes. Lol
Dan I hear you are serious about you Scuderia.
Yes
I blame the cats
Damn cats
Yeah it's junk. I'll take it. LMK when you want me to get it 😁
Lol anytime
you should convert it
Nope
@@normalguysupercar 😁
OMFG did he just wash the car under direct sunlight?
Ohhhh noes!
The Ferrari's check engine light came on. So? Put it in the driveway and let the neighbors look at it. The Ferrari still fulfills its primary purpose, driving it is secondary.
Or fix the cel.... But you know whatever
Hear me out, black calipers! 👀
Na
you need to wrap this car, in a metallic red, white color takes away from the lines of this car, wrap it
Eww not metallic
Apply Taco Bell to engine. Cures check engine lights.
Lol that seems like a great idea. Not sure why but yes
@@normalguysupercar Taco Bell is always a good idea. ALWAYS
Please don't say "pretty darn good", that's like nails on a chalkboard to anyone who's been in the Air Force for a while :P
Oh I was unaware of that

Are you keeping this for yourself? You should really keep this for yourself.
