Wizard, I think you've found a goldmine of new content with these types of videos. Seeing you put your expertise to work restoring classic cars like this 308 gets an immediate click from me.
I'm pretty sure it would drive more subscribers to his vlog with this Ferrari. Freddie did it that way with his first lambo and so did Goonzquad boys. He'll be proving that one can own and maintain a Ferrari without paying ridiculous prices.
I agree - would happily watch these all day long!
True
I love the Wizards matter of fact delivery. Very genuine. No hype, no yelling and no BS. Looking forward to seeing this 308 completed!
Exactly - he’s very educational and respectful.
I love how these car youtubers are friends and respect each others hustle. It's wizards attitude that keeps me watching
I love that Wizard actually throws shade back at the commenters. "You couldn't be more wrong."
The Wizard does his research. It shows!
😎just love the burn
Spitting 🔥🔥🔥 back at the keyboard commandos! Hahahahaha!
I hope the replies to negative commenters just an affectation for views on his part, because 90%+ of us do not share the naysayer's opinions.
Wizards way of throwing a middle finger. 😎
"I've found more things to fix." ...said every Ferrari owner (or mechanic) in history.
The Wizard abides.
Little did Mrs. Wizard know when she married a nerdy mechanic she'd be driving a Maserati and begging him to fix the AC in the Ferrari.
That's what makes him more interesting because he doesn't flaunt like other TH-camrs on how much his fancy car is worth. He looks for a cost effective solution. Frickin wizard with the wallet, if you asked me.
hes not nerdy he was in the military
@@EazyDuz18 How exactly does him being in the military disqualify him from being nerdy?
Nerds run the world man.
@@EazyDuz18 Haven't you seen any war movie? Every unit has one nerdy guy (always wearing helmet & glasses) who runs the tech or does the firing math lol
I think most everyone thought this thing was gonna spend the end of its life as a parts car. It looked absolutely beat by the end of Cartrek... So awesome to see it being restored properly 💪🏼Can't wait to see it on the road!
When done ,and you motor around in it,you need to wear MAGUMN PI HAWIIAN SHIRT AND MS.WIZ NEEDS RELAXING OUTFFIT TOO
I love the Wizard burn - “you couldn’t be more wrong” 🔥🔥😎
I'd be tempted to get those US side markers removed when you get the front lip repaired. Engine looks great.
Yes I agree, my 328 GTS never had them, US rules are kinda strange about marker lights, Rj in Oz
@@rjnation5042 they started at a certain year you needed those side markers added
Yep definitely remove the American nonsense
Side makers required in US since 1968 model year. Most automakers simply incorporated them as “wraparounds” during model year updates to meet the requirements.
@@ToxicMisfitsYt 1968 for cars
I really appreciate the straightforward, detailed and steady presentation of Car Wizard’s videos - over-production at the expense of actual content is what puts me off so much of modern television, not to mention a lot of other TH-cam channels. It’s very refreshing in 2021. Don’t change.
“I want it to be clean and presentable”. Best tinder profile ever.
I'm kind of confused by the whole "You're just going to sell it when you're done" comments that are mentioned. If Wizard does the car up to a reliably running, presentable state and then decides to take the option to double his money or more, that's entirely Wizard's choice. Sounds like petty jealousy to be honest. I'm really glad the car is getting some TLC, I honestly expected it to give up completely during the trip in Car Trek 4, so it's earned the work, and regardless of whether it's kept or sold on, it'll be in a much better state than when it first graced our TH-cam Algorithm.
Its amazing he is saving this ferrari. When tavarish was driving it in car trek 4 it was mad cringe and i just wanted to see it at its former glory, wizard is the guy to do it even though i figured tavarish would have done it.
You are absolutely right. It's so weird how people frequently think they have a say in someones decisions just because they consume their content
@@Watzleroviak1210 No, the principal is that the Wizard should not put himself in a corner by stating he will not be selling it. He can absolutely do that and eventually should . He is awesome for saving it , but he could have said something like I have no immediate plans to sell it! Then , if he decides let it go to somebody, the trolls will not be able pick at him! Enjoy it , and sell it when you want to start another project if you choose. The car will live on !
@@MikeJohnson-ld9rn I agree with both of you. I even made a similar comment above. If the time ever comes, I really hope he ignores all the youtube keyboard warriors who just want a hey (wanna hear the history) bragging rights. And passes it on to an enthusiast with an equal love for it.
@@MikeJohnson-ld9rn "Im not getting rid of this car anytime soon. I eventually will someday. Probably..." - car wizard 14:20
“I’m not going to get rid of it any time soon” that made me so happy to hear Car Wizard. I hope to see a cool new intro with the Ferrari included hahaha
Next month on Cars on Bids...
I thought he was going to say, "It's not going to be in the next 2 or 3 years", instead he said not in the next 2 or 3 months. lol. I wouldn't even dream of selling this car.
THHHHHIS is a 1978 Ferrari 308GTB and it's on sale at cars & bids!
Nothing makes for better car related entertainment than someone brining a classic back from near death by a skilled mechanic IMO - it's why I used to love Wheeler Dealers so much back when Ed China used to be on it.
@@Beer_Dad1975 You probably know, but Edd China recently started doing his own series on TH-cam.
Dang it we're all hooked on this 308 videos!
Can’t wait to hear the car run. The Wizard is doing some serious Magic.
It's all nuts and bolts and some research.
He is making sensible upgrades and spending money wisely and I like his approach.
The 308 is such a classic Ferrari shape, it has aged so well and it can only go up in value from here on out!
Agreed. It's aged very well. Unlike the Countach, imho.
This one wont. Now too far from original.
@@nothingfaced1 this one will be worth more tbh, given its modifications and being tied to car trek.
@@nothingfaced1 He's already been offered more than he paid for it!
@@nothingfaced1 Interesting. I didn't know the shape changed....
Thanks wizard for restoring that Ferrari.
I was really glad to hear that as well. The only Ferrari that i really truly love.
You are the Mr.Rogers of mechanics. Your cadence and mannerisms are so on point. Thank you for being a good example of the profession.
The Bob Ross of auto repair 😎👍
:: soothing calm voice ::: And here we have a happy little Ferrari. You never can have too many happy Ferrari's. 😜
I like the 308, but still looking forward to seeing that V12 Chevelle put together.
Oh Yeah that Thing is awesome hope hell make progress there soon
I like the channel but my main reason for dropping in is the V12 Jagabu
I think we know which one is Wizard's favorite! I would feel the same.
For the radio Blaupunkt has a modern unit with the modern amenities but with the 80's look it's the Bremen SQR 46 DAB
Yes
I think Continental / VDO also has a few retro look radios with some good features!
MacGruber approves.
The man is called "the Car Wizard" guys he knows his stuff.
BuT I hAvE wAtChEd TeN mIlLiOn HoUrS oF yOuTuBe!!!11!1!
Wizard PI about to hit the streets in style on the island of Kansas
Timing belt looks easier to do then on some modern cars I have seen!
yes because old school engineers didn't feel the need to improve something to the point it's useless. They realized that at some point work will need to be done and instead of making it next to impossible to do, they made it easy. For eg: ford eco boost 3.5L where the water pump, a regular fail item, is located inside the timing cover behind the timing components so when the seals go, it dumps coolant into the oil pooching the engine.
Found the channel because of Car Trek and this car. Your knowledge and passion is amazing
Welcome, it's a fun channel. I've been watching him for quite awhile now. He likes to do things the right way.
eventually you'll come to appreciate him the most out of all the characters in the Hoovieverse
1970's Engineer: "Let's design it to make routine maintenance realistically easy."
2010 Engineer: "Let's make it so they have to remove the transmission to change a lightbulb. BuWaHaHa !!"
You're right Wizard, I'm really enjoying this 'build'. It's my kind of car at an affordable price point. Once you drive your 308, if you are comfortable in it (it's small) I doubt you ever get rid of it. The sound alone is addicting. Thanks for the fun, enjoy the summer . . . you certainly deserve it!
I agree with Mrs.Wizard, the A/C definitely needs to come back especially if the only missing component is the compressor.
Gotta be totally cool with the ac on......vintage air kit???
@@rsprockets7846 x2 maybe a vintage air would actually work vs the stock setup
The factory AC is not good but a vintage air would actually work well. Vintage air would be out of place in this car I think. I would probably repair the AC just to have it but in my experience the windows are better than the AC, then again it could be the modern refrigerants just dont get as cold. Propane is really cold, more like freon, so that could be an option also.
Or how about a newer replacement compressor made to replace that unit and associated stuff leaving the factory dash stuff in place
Depending on how long the system has been open to the atmosphere, he's probably going to have to replace every component that holds freon. It is all prone to corrosion.
That engine looks fantastic Wizard. Ferrari enthusiasts like Wayne Carini would be proud. Seriously. You've done a beautiful job.
Total respect to the Wizard for doing this job. Please show more detail of the work as you do it. That engine bay has had a transformation and I wish we could have seen all that went into the changes you made. I know you have condensed what might be hundreds of hours of work into a watchable form, but the details of some of your work would be welcome.
I won't say no to more Ferrari content. I am so glad that such a beautiful and iconic car is being worked on by someone who definitely knows what he's doing.
I love the dynamic with all the TH-cam car channels, between you, Hoovie, Freddie, Ed, uncle Rich, etc... it's nice that you take care when releasing videos not to step on each other's toes
Mrs. Wizard's line about doing the AC cracked me up!
I really enjoy watching this project come together. I'll bet it's going to be a fun car once you finish. I'm looking forward to seeing the videos of you and Mrs. Wizard cruising around Kansas in it.
Wizard's clients are super lucky, his attention to detail and his skills are incredible. Keep up the good work!
Air conditioning on a 308 is a must. Have you changed the heater hose and brake vacuum hose that run from the front through the sill to the engine compartment? Chances are they’ll need renewal. Enjoying the 308 content tremendously 👍 Keep up the good work!
The front end is early 80’s 308 GTS QV going by the lines and shape - no doubt the car wizard will not see this comment
I believe that front end is a Euro style bumper. I really love these 308's and I'm glad you bought this one because it deserves to be fixed up.
Yeah the front end is perfect for it
Nope - EU bumper is still a bumper but just a thin strip at the top that is almost flush (288GTO is similar). There is no bumper here, it's all grille - and I think it looks pretty sweet.
@@wombatsauce The front looks good, but I think the original euro black bumper should be there.
It’s a bumper delete kit from that era by the looks of it. 288 stuff looks different.
You and 539 Restorations have the right mix of progress and technical details when totally restoring vehicles and doing updates on youtube. Zero wasted time.
I love the fact that you've done more in a couple weeks than Freddie did in months. Fully understand he's a busy guy but love seeing this project coming together.
Freddie said on car trek, he had covid and was messed up for a long time. That's why he never got to it.
He had covid and has barely been making regular videos. He got messed up pretty bad.
That engine looks 200x better, you're doing an awesome job on this man!
Love the authenticity of the Weez and his projects. It shows, and the bombmenters are just jelly.
The Wizard is hands down the most polite and respectful mechanic and youtuber out there, massive respect for you man.
This is basically your version of Hoovies 348! Raw V8 gated Ferrari you can park anywhere and enjoy without pause.. I love it
As told to me by a Ferrari owner on parts estimate. Take a normal price for a part, double it and add a zero.
Fantastic!
Sounds about right for that spare x.x
Might be cheaper to custom fab one lol
LOL!! So true.
The track rod end for a 308 is the same as an old Mini - true story!
Waiting your turn. That's a classic BOB ROSS OF AUTO MECHANICS move. Thank you for being a team player Car Wizard!
Car Wizard, your motivations are out of the question. You are a 'light' person. Your only presence provokes happiness in the environment. You are doing a terrific job. Thanks for sharing! Regards, Nacho.
I love this series because a old Italian neighbor of mine has the exact same car hidden in his garage. I haven't drawn up the courage yet to ask him about it.
You should ask you never know might not have any close family and if they are a car person they might want it to see new life after they are gone.
I'd say reach out. Just tell you'd love to talk cars and some photos. Car people generally love to talk cars with other car people.
Make him an offer he can't refuse!
@@andylucas8262 It might be just a matter of respect and showing interest. I've never turned away someone interested in my vehicle. I'm nowhere near thinking about selling, but I appreciate their interest and will always answer their questions. I was that guy once and so was he. Start with "Doggone that's a beautiful car" and you can't go wrong.
I'm not a Ferrari person, but this is one of the few that I like. If I ever make my way that way, I'd love to get a few pictures in person of it!
I love this series! I didn’t know you had your own TH-cam channel. I’ve watched you on “Hoovies garage” and of course “car trek “ for a while now. I’m glad the TH-cam gods put you in my feed. I love m this particular Ferrari and was bummed to hear how much of a lost cause the car seemed to be(on the show). I’m glad you’re bringing it back to life!
Thanks for being a very gifted old and new school mechanic, I can enjoy not just being entertained but learn on you're technics thanks again and please keep it going
10W60 is a pretty euro thing I guess? 10W60 is often recommended for hard driving / racing instead of 10W40. Since you'll most likely hit higher oil temps while giving it the beans, you don't want your oil getting too thin (and have less oil pressure).
i own a 2008 bmw m6 - also uses 10w60. guys at the local auto parts store didn't believe me until they looked it up.
I am loving this channel bigtime since I connected to it through all the other related car channels and apart from his insane expertise, this guy just comes across as a damn nice decent guy. There is no real show for the cameras or crazy stuff, just him and the missus talking, doing and showing, and it is awesome.
This has been some of my favorite content on TH-cam in the last month. Thank you for doing this and sharing the progress!
*One of the few really useful car channels. It's nice to see a blogger who knows how to work not only with his own tongue but also with his hands.*
Great video. I'm always amazed by your skills, no matter the brand you're working with. A friend of mine is retired as a Ferrari's mechanic, I've got to show him your videos about the 308 ! Best wishes from a french viewer across the atlantic !
I watch all of the guys channels because I used to work on cars. Lambo, BMW, Sports and crazy I have had. But the Magnum 308 is my all time dream car, all these years later and it still gets my heart buzzing. Beautiful and sexy. You're a lucky man Mr Wizard and when it's done you and your wife should take a road trip.
There's something about those 308's that just speaks out for what cars stood for back then. No computers, no gps, no faking your driving skills.
Go ahead and do the A/C. You won't regret it on a hot summer day. Mrs Wizard has spoken. Gotta do it now! Yes!
I think the front-end looks GREAT!!! PLEASE keep it! And on a side note, what happened to the question at the end of your videos??? Please bring that back!!!
The 308 has always been one of my favorite cars since I was a kid. Great job wizard, can't wait to see the finished product.
Keep up the good work Wizard! Greetings from Germany
Love the channel! Good on you to wait your turn to put out the vid man , new to all you guys channels glad I found ya’ll .. good people fixin good cars , love it
Thanks for the update, sorry about all those neigh-sayers on here. I'm really digging this project and watching you do this build. Your on track and doing it properly. Hats off to you sir.
Def keep the 288 look! Best looking 308 ive seen
anyone else just automatically like when they click a Car Wizard video? love this stuff
Yes! He could be reviewing a red solo cup, he's getting a like!
You really should be detailing all of the areas you have apart while you go. Not only will it save you time not having to go back but it will also make everything look better in your videos.
All of the dirt, grease, and grime should definitely be addressed. It doesn't take too long and makes the car's condition appear that much better.
Such a tremendous improvements since the first videos! Not only with wizard allocution for also with Mrs filming: so much smoother and dynamic now; good job both of you guys!
That old Ferrari has always been my dream car
Me too... I love this era of Italian sports cars! I have a '88 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce that gives me a somewhat similar experience!
any time i watch car wizard i feel like i’m watching a PBS show
Good Call! I thought the same thing 👍
from the 70's....lol.....
So glad you have the ultimate shop!
Hey man great job !! and thanks for being tight forward !
It's a beautiful car and I'm really happy to watch it being restored properly. :)
Awesome content Mr. and Mrs. Wizard! Keep up the good work!
The more I watch your work, the more impressed I am! Hats off sir, you've got another subscriber!
Really like the way you’re tackling the build, keep the vids coming
He’s such a robot I love it no fuss just straight talk
Pumped for another video on this. This car got so much hate on Car Trek but it’s such a beautiful car, wish it was in better shape for the series!
The slowest and oldest car of the three, and the only one with a recorded breakdown, but it had more HEART than the other two Ferrari's combined.
I find your understanding of these things blows my mind!
I love how you're giving this car the TLC it needs. Thses are my favorite ferraris, and seeing you put the effort into fixing it is beautiful.
I'm really enjoying this video series and can't wait to see it finished.
I watch your videos in amazement. You are able to do things that I’d consider impossible…and make it look relatively straight forward. Keep up the good work on that beautiful Ferrari…
I mean it is pretty straight forward. He won't even take on particular jobs as he's said in the past. Nearly everything he does is easy money.
So glad you are doing this car in your calm, no gimmicks, no weird E-celeb drama, nice guy style. These cars are meant to be shown off and are a legacy compared to the modern over engineered super cars on the roads today. Beautiful car!
I like that you prepped the cam covers. They look nice.
Loving this series wizard!
Hook the AC back up...Mrs. Wizard has spoken.
Love your work on this project Wizard 😎
Such good work. That engine looks incredible.
Got to get rid of those worm gear clamps and get some constant tension clamps will look so much better
He so damn cheap that I doubt he would.
@@joshuagibson2520 If you two are so hard up to see Ferrari parts on this car, maybe it's time you two ponied up to start writing checks on this build. It's called putting your money where your mouth is.
@@houseofno I didn't say anything about using Ferrari parts.
@@houseofno never said anything about Ferrari parts but you can pick up a 200 piece kit on Amazon for about 20 bucks if he's that hard up for it I'm sure I could fund that one
Hey Wizard P I & Mrs Wizard, count me in as one of the ones that loves the Ferrari 👍🙂
Get the A/C!!!! Well done sir. Cool car...cannot wait to hear it run and rev.
Go for it, Wizard! Always impressed by your knowledge and skill when it comes to everything automotive; and your attitude overall. Thanks for sharing your expertise! Bob
Almost time for a hawian shirt and a magnum p.i. mustache!
Better get that moustache ready for Magnum mode
Hoovie can play Higgins
Magnum drove a GTS, not a GTB.
Dang, i should have scrolled down said the same!
Front end looks like a 308 LM front end have a look online. Was for a Le Mans racing 308, wide bodied and looks the business. Great car 👍🏻
I really love, Love, LOVE that 288 GTO front fascia, and I'm positively chuffed that you've decided to keep it! It gives your 308 a very distinctive look.
love this project
Wizard is making bank of the car trek geeks.
Enjoy it! You work hard and need to ignore the haters!!! Great job on the Ferrari work, I really am envious of your methodical approach to diagnosing and fixing your cars. Keep it up. Your videos are great.
Good for you Wizard that’s awesome keep doing what you do
