- After more then a decade off the road, I tackle this classic Ferrari and see if we can make it a driver once more!
Follow along for today's makeover start to finish!
I have tried to figure out why as a seventy yr old woman who knows nothing about cars except how to fill the tank, is so fascinated with your repair car videos. I have come to the conclusion it is the cleaning. I always love how each car part that you clean interior and exterior, looks so shiny and new!! (not so obsessed with if it runs or not, LOL)
Me too!! 73 here!
That's because Alex's passion is infectious!
Me too...75 here....👍

It's Alex's energy. My !!! He has the energy of five ten year-olds and the creative mind of a genius. " Arty, arty arrrr" 😂
I’m a 67 year old women from Florida! I was an industrial mechanic when I worked and I really miss wrenching! I really love watching you wrenching on the old cars! My husband and I used to work on cars ourselves! Love it!!!!!
thats so awesome!!
Hey Alex, nice job on the Ferrari! When the weather greens up over there you should park the Citreon, the Jag and the Ferrari out in the front driveway for a pic in front of the new homestead. You'll want to frame that one for the garage. ;-)
That's one very sweet vintage ride Alexander. Kudos to you on yet another resurrection. I sure hope you get to enjoy some time behind the wheel before you pass it on. Thanks so much for sharing: "1967 Ferrari: The Movie". Cheers!
Oh Alex, that sounds soooo good! Deep and throaty - brings back memories of “the good old days” when cars sounded like cars not wound rubber bands. Thx
It is a handsome vehicle, and your hard work has paid off. Hope you get a lot of enjoyment from driving it.
Great video. Lovely to see and hear the car running again. Looking at the French number, plate 75 is the Department code for Paris, so it definitely spent time there.
Just wow!
Through all your blood sweat and tears, you've made a dream come alive. Great job Alexander. I think I'll call you the, "White Gloved Restorer".
Good Morning Alexander and Melissa 🙋🏽.car is looking good ‼️👍🏽😃
Alex, I did hear you say you need to check the wiring. My husband had to totally rewrite a couple of cars that belonged to employees of a grain mill. Those little buggers ( mice) invaded and chewed off the wire insulation!!
What an absolutey gorgeous car, really enjoyed the long format video , and congrats on bringing it back!
I like the way you organized the video so we could follow along at one sitting. Yeah, I am another old gal (78 yr old)..finding this video is enjoyable even though I know NOTHING about fixing cars!
Midnight and I’m fascinated. Thank you.
Exciting to see you and Steven in that Ferrari!
That beauty came out the same year as I did!.. We're classics 😅😂
Wow it is beautiful! What an amazing project and it turned out so well. A lot of hard work Alex but it was worth the wait. :) :)
Beautiful Alex! Thanks for sharing
Ooooo! Great Job!
And she is so purrrty!🤗
You may not be sponsored by NAPA but, you SHOULD BE!!
The mouse probably chewed on the electrical wires. They love those. Good luck!
It's a beaut!
The year I was born 1967 heck yeah lol awesome video thanks for sharing,lot of work but you done it.
It’s a Ferrari we love it we wanna watch you fix it thanks for the video. I will catch you on your next one.
impressive collection of bikes on the side...
It's beautiful. Well done. Xx
Alex, I inherited the love of cars from my dad, as the oldest of 3 girls, I was the chosen Italian American “son” lol
We named our cars and saw the personality in each. I believe your Ferrari is happy you found her, look at her grill, she’s smiling and happy you’re giving her the love she deserves. I only wish my dad were here to enjoy your work with me.
Blessings

ps it’s my thought your lil furry friend climbed through the dash. They’re very flexible. Lolololol🐁🤣
Is there anything you don’t do? And you work so long and hard! Just terrific! Cheese?
Great job ❤
i believe the smoke was due to the PB Blaster in the pots, bc you put the plugs in without turning it over the blaster is burning
Good job, young man 😊
you know what works really well on dried leather believe it or not use pure plane Aveno lotion. It works wonders and you can leave it on and the leather becomes seriously soft and really helps make it last a long time.
You can change the anti freeze flow to run forward and backward. Just change the lighting Hz.
(Alex complains about the finish on the Ferrari) Me: looks at her 2005 Nissan in the garage. Uhmm.....
I do not see a Shelby Cobra
Was that a prior video ?
You are “driven” !
Thank you for sharing your journeys!
Reminds me of Ferris Buellers Day off hehe. Fun Stuff Alex!
Yes I have seen this before. But I enjoy watching it again.
The end is all new
Gorgeous car!!!
Great video
Thats a 300,ooo dollar US car when healthy. Send that car to the Car Wizard in Kansas. Meet him and Hoovie. Expand your channel exponentially. l would take it to the wonderful wizard and have him repair it and watch them salivate while attempting to throw obscene piles of mammon at you.
Maybe put a sign by the car lift button that reads “Check hood and doors”.
ALEX >>>> Alternator is BAD! I heard a dry bearing, front clutch on alt, slipping? NO output on Amp Meter! You were most likely running ONLY on battery during the test drive!! Double check my diagnosis.
Needs a little rumble in the exhaust. Vacuum cleaner sound doesn't do it for a V-12.
Heads up, this video is 80% old video and the last bit is new. If you’ve been here a while you e seen most of this video. If you are new, watch the entire thing please. Very pretty cars.
That Enzo saying was at the 61 Geneva Motor Show direct to Sir William Lyons.
❤
great job ...,loves a fast car esp that red one ....GREAT JOB
Now we know where topo gigio actually lived. 😂
It is a hot looking car. Whoever Toni. Is. he. has done a good job. I would like to know where he got his inspiration at for the style. Just curious that is me.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tyrrell’s Classic workshop just released an episode with a 330 Gt😊
could you please give us a fleet update?
I'm confused, why did that shop cut and move your radiator brackets? Was it an accident?
The car is looking and sounding great! Did the wiper motor start working?
They probably had to remove them in the restoration process...and then didn't put them back exactly where they had been.
Would be cool if you shared what you paid for the car and what it cost for to to bring it back to running and driving. And maybe even the value after it's done.

You do such a good job on your cars. Very interesting. Thanks a lot! Do you have a sink in your garage? If so, where is it?
I don't think he does but just up the steps into the house is a utility room and a cloakroom so not far away for him to wash his hands & rinse things off. & He had a hose connection and drain for washing cars in there.
@@outoftheburrough 😊 thank you
😊
Nice car want to swap with my Toyota Vitz.
do you have mice problems in the house? Bring the cat out to the garage. Just wondering if you bring in mice when putting your old cars in the garage. Maybe this is why you are building a new building.
It's time to take out the shop vac our
Those tires are not safe if they have sat that long. Tires age regardless. Just like us!
Hate to be a "mom" .BUT PLEASE WEAR A MASK When you clean those things.
I know you've had issues with coughs/asthmatic problems. This could be dangerous.
Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is a severe, sometimes fatal, respiratory disease in humans caused by infection with hantaviruses. Anyone who comes into contact with rodents that carry hantaviruses is at risk of HPS. Rodent infestation in and around the home remains the primary risk for hantavirus exposure.
It can be carried in dust.
I remember when I was younger, my uncle worked at a Ford Factory here locally. He was talking about how Ford and Ferrari had merged or one had bought the other. It’s been a while so I don’t remember it all but that was the gist of it and that blew my mind. So perhaps the question about what kind of Ford is your Ferrari wasn’t as far left field as it seems. I think I’m going to research about it. I’m so excited to see your videos over again to watch how you arrived to this point. I admire the heck out of you Alex. 🤟🏼🤍 Update, watch the movie Ford vs Ferrari. It’s pretty great.
Alex, I am not a car buff, but I watch your car repair vids with avid interest. You are a master at capturing your audience no matter what age or interest. You walk us through the intricate details with finesse. 😊
I just love your channel,
So glad l had found it!
So interesting & entertaining, fascinating & heart warming too!
Never a dull moment !
You and Melissa go from antiques, to hoarder homes to abandon units, to car repairs to building your own home...Just wow!
Love how you accepted your half siblings into your life & l think your Dad would be awfully proud! Thank you Alex for sharing! You make a difference in our world!
You and Melissa make such a great team & the children are so amazing ! The best to you all!!
God Bless!
You can't beat the beautiful styling on those old Ferraris. Just gorgeous. Great job on bring her back from the dead!
The last pretty Ferraris had chrome bumpers and an engine in front. Lovely car, wish I could say I liked the color.
MOMMA MIA! A Ferrari daily driver. Or do you wanna take the Citroen today? Maybe a quick trip in the Jaguar? Please Alexander, don't sell or trade any of these three gems until at least until the end of summer. Take them all to car shows and allow your peers to drool over them.
Well done sir. Thanks for the beginning to end showing of this series. Stay well.
Maybe your little Italian mouse was Topo Gigio:)
“Oh Eddie!” I loved Topo Gigio!
I really love to see your different interests. Antiques, old cars, music, hoarder situations... You are a really cool guy! I started following with the Potters House and have been following ever since.
And what a journey that was. I love to see you pursuing your dreams and sharing the journey here with us.
All the best to you and your family from Germany ❤
Looks good! It was interesting to see the progress.
She's a beaut, Alex. Thanks for fleshing out some of the history. It's something out of the ordinary and also out of the reach of most folks. It is a thing to be cherished. All the best, Mart in England.
Wow-zers-a-roonie Alex!! 🎉 such a ride! Goes well with the Jag, the SM ....and that mysterious 190!❤
Loved watching this series...what a beautiful gorgeous car! Imagine the $ you've saved, being able to bring it back to a "Daily Driver" if you so desire....what a treat it will be for others to see at any of the car shows you attend this summer!! Kudos!!!! ...as always...Best From BC ♥
That was great watching this all put into one video Alex. Certainly more fun driving a Ferrari over a Tesla I bet!😊😊
PLEASE READ!! Beautiful car. You mentioned flat spots in the tires, there is a chance they can fail badly. I had a set of BF Goodrich that sat for a bit flat spots set in. Started driving it daily. 4 to 5 months later, going 65 mph the left rear blew, damaged the wheel well bent/pushed it out and took out the fill tube for the gas tank.
Tires would have been cheeper.
Hope you read this!!
Great point!
@@CuriosityIncorporated and like your tires,mine appeared to be in good shape, with 70% tread.
Again that is a beautiful car!! And much respect for you and your choice of garage artwork, your response was heartwarming!!
A steel belted radial tire with flat spots means the steel cables will have two kinks that causes the cable to eventually break at highway speeds. New tires are definitely much safer.
Tires age out

I think that mouse knew he was living at the Ritz, he was very respectful lol . BTY beautiful car!!
Just read the most recent comment before mine from the 70 year old lady--really made me smile, because I am a 76 y/o lady who is also fascinated with your car restorations!! Lots of work, and what a beautiful automobile! My first car was a 67 yellow Mustang, which was a great car and a joy to drive. Appreciate your expertise and attention to detail!
70 year old lady here…this is just amazing!!!
Me too!
Truly a beauty of a car!
Congrats on the completion of your renovation.
Alex, I loved, loved, loved this video. I am the impatient type. I like seeing car projects from beginning to end in one sitting. THANKS!!!!!!
Thanks for the great compilation video. It was helpful to see, once again, all the work that went into bringing that car up to speed. 🙂
Alex another great car clean up. But this episode is a repeat, right down to the ratty glove box and aviators and the emergency window crank. Oh, and already having the replacement radio!
We just put them all in one video
It's cool watching the full journey in one spot! 💖
alex I never find you boring...
just a little question...do you have fire extinguisher's
Always nice to see a car like this slowly being brought back to life. The fluid coming out of the radiator was in laminar flow which is why it looked like that. Even the drain hole was designed by Ferrari to do this, now that is attention to detail! 😁
The sale from this car will bring a nice payday for the other projects you are working on, good job!
Love this episode! I really like your episodes dealing with cars. I hope you do more.
What a beautiful car, good for you Alex.
Yay! Alexander talking while working for a good long time so I can get things done too while listening.
Wow Alexander you did an amazingly job on the car and video. I love cars. Especially out of the 50’s 60’sand 70’s❤ there’s something magical about the sound of a Ferrari engine.
Alex, I love your work ethics and your fortitude to see things through!!! I truly love your honesty and your caring of others!!! You're a great guy Alex!!! Never listen to negative comments. Thank you for making the world a nicer place to live in. Thank you for all the work to improve people's lives and give hope to watch all that goodness success in this crazy world of evil and immortality.
The head room in that car is so much better than most! I think that’s the one I’d keep.
I love seeing you repair old cars.
I remember the first video, I watched was the recovery of the rare Mercedes ambulance that was made by Matchbox as a toy car.
And been with you on the car recovery and rebuilt to running again.
Just beautiful Alex , what a fantastic car , well done Sir
1967 my birth year….I wish I looked that good.
Same 😂
A thing of beauty ❤
What a cool car. You so lucky making these look brand new and this one wasn't to bad. Good find Alex.
Just love seeing you do a great DIY refurbish of a beautiful vehicle. Look forward to it being finished to your high standards Alex.
Love your channel!! I watch all the time.
What a gorgeous car and me, too…I’m a 69 year old woman and I’m absolutely obsessed and mesmerized with Alex’s “fixer-upper” vintage cars’ videos. I wish Alex was my mechanic!
