Looking forward to seeing how this unfolds. Ps. Its no longer the CarTrek Ferrari! Its The Car Wizard Ferrari!!
he's the Car Trek Wizard too ;)
Might need to get a Hawaiian shirt and shave all but a mustache.
I agree! Yay Wizard! 👍🏾
Detroit tigers hat as well...
actually it is car trek Ferrari it's just car wizard.
I'm very glad you got this car. Can't wait to see it running great! They are 270 cams, by the way ;)
Really cool someone had Isky custom grind cams for this car
Watching your VR4 vids Tavarish.....Ive got it bad for 3000gt's....my 97 Caracas Red is almost pristine...
Hi
It’s so good to see all of you guys following each other
Tavarish we´d love to hear up speak Spanish some day ;)
this ferrari has a bright future now (hopefully)
Hopefully not in the sense of it bursting a fuel line and catching on fire.
Yeah a fun future sitting around for a couple years waiting to get worked on piecemeal by someone managing literally 20 other projects
Maybe, maybe not. Wizard has a pretty solid history of starting projects and then finding something new. The Olds, the Malibu, the yacht, now a Ferrari.
You're omniscient , frank
But is it a "forever home!" I'd foster it for awhile!
It would be a riot if In the end , wizard 1 writes wizard 2 a bill and they have to go to the office to take care of it.
wizard 2 has got to be a over animated hoovie impression!
@@AnonymousEliteZero and faint at the final price
What a good idea!
What if his wife played the roll of wizard 1 while she shops for a bigger wedding ring (or something to the effect)
and when wizard1 comes to meet with wizard2, wizard 2 is looking at private jets for sale on PC...
If you decently restore this Ferrari you can easily double your investment.
And drive it for a couple thousand km too ! Without much depreciation
Still a beautiful car
and tons of content to monetize
@@hexicalcat4937 you could ride it for as long as you want, its done depreciating.
"If you decently restore...easily double your money"
Uhh, no.
Rough but all original, low miles '78 GTBs in "fair" condition currently sell for $30K-$40K. Well sorted all original low miles cars in "good" condition sell for $45K-$50K
To get that hacked-up POS to original "fair" condition would cost $20K in parts alone. Parts alone to get it to "good" condition would run twice that.
$40K in original, period-correct parts plus a shitton of "free" labor and he might be able to get it to "good" condition and sell it for $45K-$50K. Putting $75K into a car you sell for $50K isn't "doubling your money". Even if he managed to somehow get that POS into market-recognized "excellent" condition, all original, low miles '78 GTBs in "excellent" condition sell in the $75K range.
Buying and repairing this car brought me back to the channel. Recently the channel has drifted away from actually doing mechanic work on engines in favor or car reviews. I enjoy seeing the repairs and engine disassembly.
Agreed.
I'd replace all of the rubber fuel lines also as they have a habit of breaking down over many years. It could also be a source of the particles in the fuel. You don't want to end up with Ferrari barbecue.
hoovie moment
I thoroughly agree, change all the rubber fuel hose, when I was working as a mechanic back in the 70/80s we had no end of blocked carburettors due to perished rubber fuel hose,particles were often microscopic ☹
He can sell it back to freddy when that happens.
@@getchasome6230 Yup, and he could cut the back end of each of them and weld both front ends together and make a "two-headed" Ferrari! 🤣😉
**Homer Simpson drool** "Mmmmmm... Ferrari-cue..."
3:44 Holy cow the Wizard has some incredible aim with that spray bottle!
Last time I tried with brake cleaner I got my engine on fire...dangerous stuff
You learn fast when spraying petrol into multi-carb'd cars or bikes, git gud or go get the fire extinguisher! 🤣 if it's not for you, you find out fast :)
Still, at least he was actually using petrol and not Cosby-in-a-can like some other channels would.... a little more dangerous but a whole lot kinder to the engine
Wow the Wizard is laser sharp when he goes through what he needs to do.
The Magnum PI fans are likely congregating around this series. I know I am! Always wanted to own one of these. That car will never get old to stare at
Well it's easier than fixing up T.C.'s helicopter.
@@lurkndog next episode....look what we found in a scrapyard.....TC's helicopter
Yeah, I wore a Detroit Tigers hat
This may have never really been a supercar, but it's one of my favorite shapes of all time.
It's the one shape that just screams *FERRARI* at you.
There was no 'super-car' in the late 1970s. EPA/DOT was trying to restrict CO pollution, and clamped-down on cars that didn't meet emissions standards. The 308 was the ONLY model Ferrari could import under the new regulations.
Yes, God I love this car
Today I learned that aftermarket cruise control is a thing 🤣
I had aftermarket cruise on my 1979 Yamaha XS1100 that someone put on. It literally just held the throttle in place on the handlebar... slightly sketchy.
LOL yes it has been for a very long time
When I was in high school, one of my class-mates was trying to build his own after-market cruise control. It involved a plumb-bob to adjust the throttle when going up and down hills. I don't know if he ever succeeded.
Lol same here
Never expected u to be a car guy
“They just sandwiched some silicon in the leaks”
This thing literally IS a movie car lol
It's literally one hair fracture away from grenading due to lack of lubrications. :D
Only if it has zip ties somewhere.
No zip ties = No movie car. 😁
@@makpsv oh but you see there are in the front
@@unorganized_account Aha, then we can confirm it: A TRUE movie car! 😁
And don't forget the deleted rear Ferrari badge since they didn't want to sponsor the film! 🤣
Kind of ironic the @tavarish fixed a movie car on his channel, then created a "movie car".
I love projects like this, where something looks really rough, but with a bit of work and care, it can be straightened out and enjoyed!
I just love when things are done properly Old School, not a quick bodge job.
4:33 there's a glitch in the matrix. I knew the Wizard was a machine! Isky did killer cam work.
I thought this one would overwhelm you - turns out, you’re more than up to the task. I look forward to this once-great beauty being restored to its’ former glory…
I think after surviving the Neverending drama of Hoovie's Bentley Turbo R, anything looks looks easy no matter what he has to do to it 😉
After the jobs he has done for Hoovie this is a walk in the park.
He doesn’t seem intimidated in the least. At the end of the day, it’s just another foreign car . . .
Honestly, these old exotics are more simple than production cars of the time.
I had one of those many years ago.1/24 scale went very well with a good push.
WIZARD!! You need to do a detailed carb rebuild its a dying trade keep it alive I would live to see a video or series of how you clean and rebuild PLEASE
Cheers
Yes!! Absolutely!! Knowledge on the old Weber’s is sadly fading into obscurity. Would be a super cool video
I rode a '76 Honda CB-750-four for years. Every six months or so I would pull the carbs off and clean them. Took about an hour. I would open them up and in all the ports that I could access I would spray CRC Brakleen non-flammable brake parts cleaner [red can] to clean out any crud or buildup. I literally put the little red straw right up against the tiny brass hole. When I was done, I would put them back on and for a few weeks I could start the cold engine with the kickstarter, on the first kick....Without the choke on at all!
CRC NF Brakleen is a miracle worker with carbs. Just make sure you wear gloves, you don't want to get this on your skin. If you do, it will cause an odd tingling sensation and remove all the skin oil from where it landed!
GREAT video Wizard! I love this car!
This is the most beautiful and timeless car ever. Just gorgeous!
I like how he wants to keep it original, and is leaving the wheel/tire setup as is.
In Forza I always put 19's on the 80's and 90's cars...I think it looks badass!!! LOL
Thomas Magnum agrees with you!
More than the E-type or Muira? I think not.
@@069ban9 I agree...but certainly the most beautiful on Car Trek.
@@069ban9 Yes for sure!
Wizard, a quick tip for you on the carb. Get yourself a ultrasonic cleaner if you don't have one. It'll save some frustration and get to places not easily accessed and can be used for a ton or different stuff depending on the size of the cleaner you get. It's not harsh on the parts and pretty efficient just takes a bit of time but you can set it and forget it.
Mr. Wizard, I really appreciate you restoring this car. It deserves it! And you deserve the car for sure! Keep up the great work!
This is the most exciting build I've seen since following the Wizard. Especially cool as it's being done on a real world budget, saving as much as possible and reusing what can be re used. Awesome!!!
Mrs Wizard must be watching old eps of Top Gear. Her camerawork and how she frames shots and transitions from one thing to another, I noticed has gotten much better in the last handfuls of videos.
On of the surgeons at a surgery center owned a 308 GTB. It did not have a reverse, it wouldn't stay fixed when it was repaired. He gave up getting it fixed, and everyday had to push it into his parking slot at the hospital. Ha!
I want to see Wizard dressed up as Magnum PI once this is done :)
It would be great if he could get Tom Selleck over to the shop and give it a spin. Maybe Wizard is famous enough to do that.
Recreate the title sequence?
I met Ed back in the nineties and he was a really cool guy. Other people told me the storys about him doing regrinds in his garage when he first started. What an honor to have some Isky regrinds in your ride.
Glad to see the Wizard do a Hooptie rescue mission, but with a positive ROI!!
Can we just appreciate how wholesome this is? Mrs. Wizard is all in and knowledgeable, too!
So glad you're saving the car. Such a beautiful car.
We had a study example of a impeller pump that was moving water around - the corrosion looked very similar. The corrosion was as a result of cavitation within the system, air was getting in and causing sloshing of the water. This in turn stripped the aluminium out and this was the damage. We did the same - TIG welded some material on the flat spots and re-faced everything.
Thanks for giving us a video on this so quick.
I wholeheartedly appreaciate it.
Yup, I mostly only work on old cars... the corrosion was caused by the antifreeze going acid. Which in turn is more likely if exhaust is getting into the antifreeze to sour it or if it hasn't been changed in a very long time.
That’s gonna be a nice project can’t wait to see this on the road
You are already further than Freddy would have been on this Ferrari. I can't wait to see that weird dash and stereo/radar? stuff removed and put back to factory spec. I may have to drive up there just to see it like it is, if it's OK. I have had my Pfizer shots. I got the 2nd 3 weeks ago. I know you and your crew are super busy, plus you and Mrs. Wizard are still finishing up the 2nd yacht. I don't know how you have time, it is truly amazing though. Thank you for showing us.
Doing a fine job as always Wizard, so glad you took this project on
I have been kicking around buying a Ferrari for a long time. It's a treat watching someone who knows what they are doing working on their own. You are not going to make any mistakes. I'm looking forward to seeing this car tuned right, looking right, and pristine.
That is the most perfect angle to see that beautiful car.
In the UK there is a channel called Harry’s Garage. He is getting a Jag V12 restoration done. Total body and engine. The guy pulled the heads off and found exactly the same type of corrosion. I think he is trying to save the parts too in the same way but he may end up replacing them as the corrosion looked far worse than yours.
Good luck Wizard, save this beauty!
I can only imagine how well this old gal will run when you’re done with her!!!
Like new I would hope,.......after all it is his car now!!!!
It will still be slower than an Accord.
@@christelford2243 A 40 year old Accord?
@@christelford2243 Slower? Who cares. Which would you rather drive and be seen in??
@@christelford2243 ...because the only measure of worth in the world is how fast a thing is. Right? This is a collectible car. Restored, at 40 years of age... not a single Honda Accord ever made would approach its value. Are there faster cars in the world? Of course. I’m pretty sure my Charger RT Max would blow its doors off. But my Charger isn’t a collector car. It’s a family car with a powerful engine. So is an Accord. Peace. 👍🏼
So pleased you have this Ferrari under your expert care - its so nice to see things done in a sensible and considered way.
10:48 As we say in Germany: Vertrauen ist gut, Kontrolle ist besser!
If you know, you don't have to trust.
What does that mean?
@@robertjusic9097 Something in the lines of "Trusting is great but checking (controlling) is better"
That's going to be a very fun car when you're finished. Part of the sound is from the high-revving In-Plane V8, and part of it is from the nearly straight-cut gears in the transaxle.
A friend of mine had a '79 308 GTS (Rosso Chiaro with Fawn interior) and an '85 308 GTSi QV (Argento Metallic with Nero Interior) several years ago. We spent a long time pulling out all the aftermarket stuff added to the '79 (Becker Rebranded Sony Stereo, Becker Alarm System, some other stuff) and repairing the interior. No repaint, but I spent a fair bit of time rubbing out the worst of the cracks and putting a shine back on it. It was only running on 5 cylinders when it came in. Unfortunately, the only photos I can find of either one are just of the front bumpers and parts of the hoods.
My new favorite automotive RUclipsr 🤓❤️ make it run fella ☺️
I had a 1978 308 GTB as well. What happened to them was that the 76 and 77 308's had 240 BHP, BUT in 1978 Ferrari had to put all the smog equipment on the engine. That cut the power to 205 bhp! Ferrari realized that the engine had the same per cylinder displacement as the 365 GBT/4 Daytona and that the Daytona had higher compression pistons. So Ferrari offered the pistons and new cams ground to "Daytona" spec to claw back some of the lost horsepower. I would hazard a guess that these cams are the same grind.
Cool project. Once finished, I hope you pull into Hoovies driveway with Magnum P.I. theme music a blazing.
Dam that was nice to hear a professional talking about a old hard to fix product & not just sending it off somewhere for someone else to fix, I think I will keep following this & just subscribed, well done.
I love these kinds of projects, looking forward to updates!
"Have you ever seen corrosion like what these intakes had?" Nothing that bad. Glad the Wizard is going to do some proper repairs on them. My first thought was to mill them down, but that wouldn't work right if the linkages didn't connect properly or are misaligned. The carbs should be an easy fix with just some cleaning. Nice to see this project moving along quickly. Guess what this coming Monday is?! Memorial Day! So hope to see you guys out on the boat with Hoovie.
VT247
This is where you shine. I really see that now. This is truly a treat for me. Thanks.
The V8 is super reliable and durable. A number of these have served as daily drivers and have 200k miles on them. Very good engine!!!
Those webers will be fine, just need a night in the hot tank. Do you have a weber drill bit set? That's the right way to jet these carbs.
I suspect the alloy used on the intake is different than the heads, hence, the lack of corrosion.
You mentioned suspension bushings were bad... IIRC, the OEM were brass... use brass, delrin or heim joints. I love the idea of heim joints. I put a kit on my old 1992 corvette to upgrade the rear suspension... it used heim joints and flat out rocked.
Going to be nice to see a car thoroughly looked over and restored for personal use by wizard
Well he bought a Ferrari. Raises his italian levels by at least 80%
I bet once you get the carbs and intake manifolds sorted out, that engine will wake up and sing that sweet Ferrari song and the car will perform and go more like the thoroughbred it is. I love these 308s! One of if not my my favorite Ferrari’s this one is.
Hey Wizard. Know you mentioned in the previous video that you're gonna delete the AC. Have you thought about an electric ac that doesn't run off a pulley? You could then keep the easy change belts and enjoy the car all year.
Just a thought.
That sounds like an interesting idea. I recall Edd China saying that upgraded alternators are available for classic cars that preserve the original form factor. I wonder if that's all that would be required to drive the system?
In theory, add load to the electrical stuff of an italian car of this era is not the best idea...
but as this one is fried anyway and needs full overhaul... why not
Such a realist and not some over sensational car guy channel. That’s why we love ya Wiz! Love this car. 30 years ago rented one in Hawaii on our honeymoon. Fell in love twice that 7 days! Ha! No Ferrari yet but still have the Mrs! I think I’m better off. This is gonna be a big money pit but I love it!
I can't wait to see this 308 in running condition! Great job Wizard!
Hello Wizard. Thank you for putting subtitles in the portion where you were showing the carb issues. I do have one issue with them, though. I am colorblind. Red is the worst color for me to see. It was difficult to read your captions because they were red text on a mostly black background.
Could you make them white or some other high-contrast color in future videos to help out myself and others that have colorblindness?
Thank you! Great video, btw. You really can see the love you have for fixing things the RIGHT way. Keep it up!
NICE TO BE WORKING ON YOUR OWN CAR- huh. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL LOOKING OL FERRARI - really like the body styling
You could save money by fixing the manifolds and water pipe yourself using low-temp Alumiweld rods and a propane torch. Then just block sand the manifolds flat again. I've done that exact repair before (though not on a Ferrari). Works great.
happy to see that 308 in good hands. I had a hard time seeing tavarish mistreat this car during car trek.
Dear Car Wizard,
You have stolen my heart!
Very much appreciated detailed report on Freddy's car, I was a bit sad when his journey had problems. However, I look forward to seeing you restore and renew the great car that it can be once again.....
Philip Cupid - Zug Switzerland
Brilliant Wizard. Love watching someone save a car, instead for wreaking it. Looking forward to the next RUclips. Cheers John
wrecking, not wreaking.
Amazing to see how you break down the engine and check every component. Very entertaining to watch, thanks for sharing, Wizard.
Keep it up Wizard! I really want to see this Ferrari perform as its suppose too.
The body of the 308 is beautiful. Glad you are restoring it.
This is a fun project to watch.
I have seen that kind of intake manifold corrosion on older stuff. I fixed it with of all things JB Weld and a steady hand to grind it flat. The leaks were fixed and the customer was satisfied. Coolant can become acidic over time and that pits up aluminum.
This Ferrari from 79 is easier to work on and simpler than a new Toyota. Think about that.
You don't even have to jack up the engine or transaxle or disturb motor mounts to replace the 308 clutch. The left hand fuel tank has a nice cutout in it to remove the bellhousing.
Racing tech, for those endurance races.
Yeah then governments got involved with fuel economy requirements, and people want more power and complexity comes in. Realize the new Toyota makes about the same power from a v6
Have you ever tried tuning four carbs? it's a nightmare.
@@mymidschoollife8485 never worked on a 4 carb Ferrari but the 72 xke jag v12 that still haunts me .....
I like the idea of tig welding the pit marks and then machine it. Years ago early vw rabbits had same problem with coolant flanges and the cylinder head surface as well, use to apply a smooth coat of JB weld let sit 24 hours and then sand smooth, never had a concern after that.
I'm excited for this build ill be here all the way
Well after several heater core replacements I've seen many scary dashes and stripped interiors so I feel you when you say it's like an open heart surgery in there. We need to be extra careful with old cars and their wiring. But I think everyone can see in your face expressions that you do love this car and you want to enjoy it as much as possible. Let's not forget that running a business like the Car Wizard's consumes most of your time in daily basis. I believe you will get it back in great shape in no time and most of all, you'll make it reliable. Who cares if you're gonna use the correct bumpers or door panels etc etc. Do what your heart tells you, make it reliable and take Mrs Wizard for some nice cruises down memory lane with this beautiful time machine. All of you guys on RUclips and generally the internet please bare in mind that some times there are some genuine folks out there like the Car Wizard who do things as they wish and like. Not for the views, neither for the advertising of their business. Just for the liking of a vehicle and in order to let us know some inside stuff when it comes to fixing a car. I'm a car mechanic for almost 20 years here in Greece and even I have learned many things from the Car Wizard's channel. We should thank Tyler Hoover for giving the idea to this man. All of this goes to the people in and out of the Internet who enjoy expressing hate. Keep up the great work and videos Mr Wizard and we're all waiting to hear this beauty purr like a kitten. Good night from the north of Greece.
Car's like these getting a second chance by someone who knows what they’re doing is great
Tavarish .... BURNNNNNNNNN
I am glad to see that car is being saved , it was the reason i use to watch the original magnum p.i.
I’m very disappointed your not wearing a Hawaiian shirt when you do these videos on this.
That would be racissssssssst and you tube would probably take it down, due to snowflakery
Only when he drives it. As you can see, it's in no condition to drive.
And the mustache only
Magnum drove a newer GTS. This is a GTB.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH GTB and GTS are the same car, the 308. The GTS just has a targa top.
Man, I would never spray gas over a running Ferrari engine! You're a brave man. Thought you were gonna go up like a buddhist monk! I nursed my cousin's 308 back to life back in the 1980s. Wonderful car, but the heavy clutch was almost undriveable in traffic.
Wait a sec? Is that the same 308 that had its doors off in Car Trek? What am I seeing?
Yup, Freddie sold the Car Trek 308 to the Wizard!
The title on this and previous video didn't give it away huh?
@@dwarf365 lol it’s a joke
They put the doors back on.
@@basithph8958 lol went clean over my head 😂
If there is one person, other than tavarish, who I'd be interested in watching do this job, it's definitely the Weezard! Can't wait to see how this goes!
Careful not to void the maintenance warranty!
He is the warranty !
Couldn’t have been bought by a better man! Really excited to see the love and TLC this sexy motor is going to receive from the wizard. Well done wizard!
Anyone noticed how much the Wizard uses his hands when speaking? He reminds me of an Itailan. Lol
He's a wizard, he's casting spells!
Yeah hes so used to kneading pasta dough while talking he does it even when he doesnt have dough.
I bet if you tied his hands up he couldn't speak.
It's a mechanic thing Scotty Kilmer does it too.
I noticed that too, on one of his videos I said "if he flaps his hands any faster he'd take off and fly around the garage" lol
I LOVE how the wizard says Bonnet when working on Euro-trash, and hood when working on anything else.
Love this rebuild. Can't wait to see how great you get it.
When you say a "lot" of debris, that not what I imagined lol. I pulled the carb off the 1960 Lincoln Premiere I'm working on and it had a solid 1/8" layer of grit in the bowl. I took 2 days to disassemble and clean every single part of that carb and re-assemble it with new seals and parts.
Very interested to see the progression of this red stallion.

It's not about ignorance but unprofessional brokers in the market
No offense Wizard, but this ain't a $25,000 car I don't care if it's a Ferrari. It's a $10,000 car, Ferrari or Chevy. That engine needs serious work to get right. You showed how the interior needed to be completely redone in the last episode. This car is roached, toasted, burnt up, run hard, and put away soaking wet.
Sure, but sorted id be worth more. Good examples are still 50k+
I’m really glad you decided to save this 308 - thanks for sharing the journey with us Wizard 👍
Sell off those Webers and use that money for a bolt on xFI from Holley. 😁
Get a small improvement in performance and reliability... and cut the value of the car in half.
With velocity stacks.
@@douglasburnside Because that $4k in carburetors is really what sets it off? It's already heavily modified and also been through hell being on Car Trek 4.
Fine, keep the webers in a box. Car WIzard hates carbs so should still upgrade to xFI.
Carbs can give better performance if adjusted right. Sadly carb adjustment is a dying skill.
@@nicostenfors5690 You can't hook up your carb to a laptop and program it.
Webers are awesome carbs, and if you are willing to work on them they will serve you well.
It's much more enjoyable to watch the work being done rather than just a walk around tour of the car.
To answer the question about corrosion: yes, I’ve seen it. Some ‘80s Honda CRs (2 stroke motocross bikes) have magnesium water pump covers, and they can corrode and fail, and plug up the radiators with degraded material. I’ve seen a bad one, luckily mine is ok.
You've probably had those intakes TIG welded already, but JB Weld actually works great for this repair. Same in waterboxer Vanagons.
Go car wizard you, deserve the new subs. No car trek can be produced without you!!
So I went to Amazon store and was scrolling down when I saw what I thought was a wizard action figure. Was all excited and then I realized it was the clothes he wears in the shop! I’d totally buy a wizard action figure! Lol! Ultimate sign of success !
I have always LOVED these cars, and am thrilled to be able to watch your bringing this beautiful machine back to life.
I honestly thought this Ferrari was doomed, my hat is off to you car wizard I stand fully corrected and kudos for keeping it alive
Thanks for tearing down and doing in depth mechanical diagnosis.
Norwood’s in Dallas used to do those single distributor set ups. Much better and easier to maintain than the old points and condensers. A lot easier to set the ignition advance and time one dist. vs two. Also, you can but sealed bearings direct from SKF for your carbs to get rid of some the air leaks in the carbs. Really a pretty easy rebuild, just be careful with the float studs....breaking them sucks! 😳
You need to get a suitable Magnum-style Hawaiian shirt when you get this out on the road, Wizard! I'm so glad I get to see this car restored, I felt bad when Freddy said he was selling it after CarTrek.
It may not be fast or reliable but bloody hell it looks so good 😍
