- The CAR WIZARD 🧙♂️ gets lots of cars through his shop, but not all of them make him do a double take. The Wizard would love for his '78 308GTB to look as good as this 1982 Ferrari GTSi. Why is this Ferrari in his shop and what repairs/mods would the owner like addressed?

Those bumpers really flow in beautifully and don't ruin the looks one bit, lol not, they are horrendous.
I like that the front bumper doesn't obstruct the already limited engine bay airflow. Obviously, a lot of thought went into the US export revision.
@@Dream0Asylum Maybe a lot of thought, but not a lot of money. It looks just plastered on and completely destroys the overall look of the car. The original European bumper design would make it so much cleaner looking.
Big bumper on the front looks horrible. The colour does not compliment the car at all.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic - sometimes I forget that it doesn't translate very well in writing.
@@Dream0Asylum And I didn't have my second coffee yet that morning - otherwise I might have noticed ;-)
I like how Mr. Wizard includes us in his analysis, like we are on his team.
A local guy once bought a 308 cheap at an auction that was only a few years old. It had a slight knock in the engine so nobody would touch it. He drove it several hundred miles to get home. He was smart enough to know it only needed a water pump.
Perfect opportunity for him to put a 351 Ford in it he'll be anything I don't like 350 Big blocks they're no good I only like Ford engines
He should of put the water pump on before driving it a few hundred miles
Holy shit glad you made thus bs comment
@@joshuarisker5525 you'd be surprised how long some bad parts will go.
@@Bleachanna true but you'd also be surprised how much more you will mess up in the process of pushing the wore out or bad parts to the limits....it goes from a few hundred dollars to fix to a few thousand or tens of thousands quick like
Wow, this car still has the original Michelin TRX tires and wheels. I had a 1979 Mustang Cobra with these size 390 mm wheels and tires. They're now referred to as 'the Betamax of tires'. Still available at Coker, but most cars still on the road with this setup have been converted to the current standard sizes.
Had an 84 Mustang GT-350, had those TRX wheels and tires. We kept it original, showed it at the 45th and 50th Anniversary of the Mustang. Now it lives with its new owner in Florida.
original tires.............really dude....?
@@theewelder I’m sure they’re reproductions. That’s what we had on ours. Identical to originals.
@@theewelder Original as in, equipped from the factory. Not the 'original' tires it came with when new.
you can still get the TRX 390 tyres new from Michelin and they are Ferrari prices... Had remoulds on my Citroen CX25 Gti Turbo that used this size too - its cheaper to buy a set of lookalike imperial alloys with an imperial size tyre than a new set of metric tyres only
The Car Wizards has the coolest walk on UA-cam! I'd love to see a continuous loop video of him just waddling around on his stubby little legs with Pantera's WALK as the background music!
I really like Mrs. Wizard, she's so Kansas! It's all business, but in a polite and respectful way as possible. And she looks Kansas too! Very, very pretty but with an essence of "don't ever mess with me....ever!"
I have to totally agree, just a solid lady ! Wizard lucked out in finding a good life partner, and so did she !! They will cruse off into the sunset together !!
We all know that red 308 is Mrs Wizards car now but I also like the fact the wizard isn't giving in without a fight.
it should be "our" 308
She’s honestly kind of annoying when she keeps saying hers. She seems to have a very demanding personality to be honest. After all wizard does the majority of the channel, she holds the camera….
i continue to say that this is one of the best channels you'll find on youtube.
The final touch will be a Hawaiian shirt and some theme music.
Great video! Nice to see Wizard closing the trunk, frunk and door gently instead of slamming them.
I personally love this generation & line of Ferrari. The aesthetics are absolutely gorgeous, classic elegant. I'd love to own one. Slightly jealous of Mr Wizard.
The purple "comes and goes) wit "coolness" always thought the 308 was gorgeous, and finally removed by enough decades of dorkiness relevant to magnum PI, can't wait to see the berlinetta up and running :)
As always love the 308's. Oh also COBRA!!! How can you put that teaser in the background and not even mention it?
That's what I was looking at too 👍👍
Absolutely. I was scrolling down the page looking to see if anyone else noticed the Cobra. At least a couple of us.
Ditch the 308 and get into the Cobra ….! 😬
Thats a nice 308 and the owner is willing to spend some money to keep it perfect. Lovely car
Beautiful color... truly sweet car. Glad to see guys keeping them going.
I like the lexus in the background. Here in Thailand they are highly regarded and valued.
Nice color. Refreshing. Everything doesn't have to be Red, Black,or Yellow.👍
Another great video from the wizard. Thanks
The "my car" bit has run it's course... we all know you will both share in the enjoyment of the car
Shut up
It's got that lovely fuel crisis speedo that all the cars had back then. Max 85 with a big '55'. Takes me back.
Fuel Crisis? Glad we've got that behind us!!
Alright! I was waiting for this 308 ever since we saw it appear on a previous episode. I hope we get to see it once it's finished. ✌🏻😃
Can we get a video on the A/C Cobra replica behind you?
It doesn't look bad, just different.
Comedic gold.
I owned the exact same car in White about 25 years ago, wish I still had It.
I like how it has the old bumpers still on it. It's historical and needs to be remembered.
I was wondering if I was the only one who felt that way LOL! It amazes me how people look at that one little thing and obsess over how "ugly" it is to the exclusion of all else and would go to insane lengths to "fix" it probably making it UGLIER in the process, dammit just take a couple steps back and take it all in, it actually works!
Nope they got to go... Awful
I like how Mr. wizzard stands his ground in front of Mrs Wizzard when it comes to the 308 ownership...Good for you Mr Wizzard!
This joke is getting a bit tedious and stale.
She's really annoying
I wanna see the black on black ls400! Can you please do a video on it Wizard? It’s such a sentimental platform for me 🥰
Don't put coolant in that white reservoir under the frunk. Its the windshield washer bottle, lol. Those 390 tires are generally only available from Coker tire. Figure about $500 a corner. Also, that oil leakage on the passenger side of the motor is often the cam seals. If you are doing belts anyway, I would change them too, but you probably already knew that.
Yeah I had my doubts about the bottle.
That 308 reminds me of my 308 GTSI QUARTO. Always happy memories. 😊
Pretty good colour editing on the lime green and gold! Sweet!
Wow, U.S. bumper and headlight laws in the '80's really funked up some otherwise good-looking cars. That 308 has certainly been well taken care of. Little bit of leather conditioning and a full detail, and it's mint, and it sounds like the owner actually is doing his due diligence in getting everything brought back up to snuff! Thanks for the video, Mr. and Mrs. Wizard! Have fun fighting over yours when it's done for summer!😂 ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
tnx for the video
Very beautiful color! Hoped you would do a video on it when we saw it in the background. Not a fan od the US bumpers though, but hard ro fight regulations I guess!
I like this color very much, even if I can read in the comments section the internet doesn't.
@I. C Weiner I wouldn't say "lame", but sure it seems red is a "by default" color.
Yummy car!!!! BTW - Can't wait for your car to be enjoyed on the road! It's a cooler car since it's a MAGNUM PI. :) And you are giving it the love it always needed!!
Just an observation, the tail lights are on wrong… The back up lights (white lights) are supposed to be the outside.
Lime green gold wheel SFX noted and appreciated. 📺
Coolant overflow reservoir is the washer botlle for front windscreen....thats a very nice car !!
The outer tie rod arm ball joint on the passenger side looks way different and perhaps collapsed when compared to the drivers side. However what's more important was the oil temp was 145 and my temp hit 210 when all I could think of was well. Legs.... Great video everyone involved. Thanks.
This car is gorgeous. Seen up close. So nice.
Front bumper is BRUTAL
Such a nice car, super clean for how old it is
This video reminds me back in 1986 my very first commercial real estate client a self made millionaire, wanted me to buy his 84 low miles Ferrari GTS cheap for $15k a great deal price. I denied the deal as that Ferrari was black in color! I should have bought it then get it painted red the color I like!
Very nice example but I like your early model GTB a little more
That interior needs a extremely cleaning and reconditioning and Hoovie knows a good one .
LOVE THE COLOR!!!! That is something different that you never see on old Ferrari's, its like "root beer brown" in one light, yet looks like "purple kool-aid" depending on the lighting. That color would look AWESOME on a 1970's/80's Lincoln, Cadillac, Buick Electra 225, Olds 98, Mercury Marquis Brougham, early-mid 70's Chrysler New Yorker/Imperial/Cordoba. Just order the matching brown leather interior on one of those barges.
Also I can see this being deaths by a thousand cuts, yeah it looks great, runs decent but has 10-20 years of deferred maintenance on it. Previous owner probably never drove it to know all the crap that was broken.
Beautiful car, it's a shame it has an U.S spec bumper.
That was some Great coloring editing skills. 5 out of 5 👍
Wow that was a laundry list of upgrades, surprised that doesn't count as "full restoration".
Damn those visual effects at 1:03 blew my mind!😃
I think the only thing computer controlled on this car is the 02 closed loop fuel trim. K Jet (CIS) is a great system for being how old it is, holds up really well and gets great fuel mileage if your 02 is working properly, most are not.
Thanks Mr. & Mrs...WEEzard as Tyler calls you....Shoe🇺🇸
What a gorgeous automobile!
I had an 82 Peugeot 505 from 1990 to 2001. It had the 390mm wheels. I paid over $600 for a set of Michelin which was the only manufacturer of those at the time.
Next time I needed tires I bought some 15 inch wheels. They were four bolt wheels.
The torque spec on those bolts was only 60 pounds. Scary on such a heavy car!
AND THE OSCAR FOR SPECIAL EFFECTS GOES TO... Great colour, love the simple interior.
That colour looks brilliant on that car.
Sweet! Great looking Ferrari that isn't "Red". Plus.... Tires with a SIDEWALL!! Amazing....
I think the 308 is a work of art.
The cap on the coolant tank is awesome, definitely 1980’s looking . That would be cool to have
Non standard
Wow!Nice car! Needs New CHOOZE!! and a few gasket Updates, it is a classic car! Then a Spa Day and then off to the Boat Mr and Mrs Wizard!
Nice color
That Shelby Cobra tho!
Need to see what the turn signals issue is. Mine has issues too. Did the birdman fuse blocks, belt service, and speedo repairs. Both the instrument and the sensor on mine.
Those wheels are TRX wheels on which only fit those type of run flat tires, they all have weird sizes. BMW used to have those type of wheels aswell in the '80's and '90's. Those tires are hard to find and seriously expensive, probably the reason why they're so old. Btw, that color looks amazing on the 308 maybe you should repaint yours like this Wizard. 😉😁
I, to, have always liked the 308, and 400 series of Ferrari. Mostly because, they were affordable, up until 20 odd years ago. Nice examples of the 308, could be had for, between $20, and $30K. The 308, because of the "Magnum P.I.", tv show.... But, the 400, because it looked like the Daytona series, with an actual back seat!
What’s up wizard hope all is going well!
I wish that was still lime green on gold. Fits the car era so well!
Great video. Would be nice to park it next to yours and show off the differences. The Chevy in the background awaiting its jag v12 is making me anxious. Kudos to you for being an awesome mechanic. One more thing… please sit down with wifey and negotiate who the owner of “your” 308 is… I am tired of the family arguments… it makes me feel awkward. My opinion give her the 308 and keep the yellow charger for you. Enjoy your channel.
Gosh dang! Hot car, amazing color…. You film all the cool things
Nice u perform Upholstery repair
very nice car
It's a PITA and expensive to get those metric tires. I used to own an Italian car with those annoying ceramic open torpedo fuses. The fix was to replace them with easily available glass torpedo fuses. No need to replace the fuse panel.
Nice BLUE COBRA off to the side
Wizard, I had a first dropped my 2014 Lincoln mkz at Exxon for an oil change the next day. A groundhog was found under the hood he ate at my underhood sound dampening and the air temp plug, parts cost me 354$
About those 220/55VR390 tires: Those were a first attempt of Michelin to make a low(er) profile tire. They were called Michelin TRX and you would only see them on higher priced cars like BMW 5, 6 and 7 series, Renault Alpine A310 and R30 GTX, Ferrari's, Citroen CX turbo, Peugeot 505 turbo and 604 GTi.
Those tires are OK but no longer cutting edge tire technology and also pretty expensive if you need a new set. Tire choice will be limited as well.
i see at least 4 cars without airbags in the back ground.... people managed to survive for decades with them so I wouldn't be too concerned with being extra careful driving it lol
Ooh, show us more of that black LS400 in the background!
82 was a good year!
Is that steering wheel signed by Enrico Nardi? Awesome!
! C O B R A ! Tell us more, tell us more, tell us more! Thankfully Hoovie is over in Italy playing Mr Big Stuff. Cover it with a tarp when he gets back or he'll want to glom onto it.
Passenger rear rotor is worn much more inboard, compared to the drivers side, which appears to be evenly worn inboard and outboard.
Nice car.
Wizard.....A few notes. Window regulators.... grease inside turns hard and makes them go very slow. You can also add a relay to improve the motor performance. Rear flashers should be outboard and brake lights inboard...his are reversed. The radiator vents are correct in body color on the 82. Its missing the spare tire well insert (big plastic insert that covers up the heater cores and brake booster/master cylinder), and missing the battery cover, spare wheel/tire, and the knob screw to hold it in place. Ditch the horse on the fuse box cover and you got an unmolested car there other than the DIN radio. Prugna is a great color. Those wheels look great, though those tires are going to be pricey! So when can I drop off my 99 355 Spider for a belt service and how much? :D
Thanks for the info. You can call our shop to schedule the 355.
Thanks
It's a good thing that the 308 is Ms. Wizards project car - because if it was Mr. Wizards car he would be dreaming up some ill fated change like the poor Malibu/Jag V12.
I had/have the hot wheels of this car in this color from like 30 years ago.
They had lower the seat and altr the pedals for Tom Selleck to fit in the ferrari and why it was always driven with the target panel is never seen .
Nice Cobra in the back ground wizzard
It was so cool when they made it green for a second
Any Wizard FERRARI vlog is a good one. Even if it’s not about his Ferrari.
I have owned several exotics bought new. I bought a new Lambo Gallardo in 2004. $3000 yearly registration, $3000 yearly checkups, $3000 yearly insurance plus
Massive depreciation once you pass 4,000 miles, it was fun. I own a Tesla model X and 3 with old school Porsche Panamera 4S. Until you own a Tesla you never realized how much maintenance gas cars require. I bought the model X new 2017 and never been to dealership for repairs or service. That Ferrari is nice but to keep decades old cars still running if just a headache. Most shops not happy to work on dated cars. Plus specialty mechanic needed. A corvette has the same engine has every other Chevy. Anyone can work on. European high revving flat plane cranks are intoxicating, though
Still
Love Panterra’s With ford engine. They sound awesome.
u r going to lv this. Big bucks
The rear indicator/reverse lights and tail light/brake lights are wrong way round - The rear indicators/reverse lights on all of the 308/328 GTB's and GTS' should be on the outside, and the tail lights/brake lights should be next to the rear registration plate.
(There's a myth that "back in the day", Ferrari supplied some cars to the US market with the rear indicators/reverse lights inboard, and the rear tail lights/brake lights outboard, so the tail lights marked the outer edge of the car - Not true! - All 308/328 GTB's and GTS' left the factory with the rear indicators outboard, and the tail lights inboard)
The part of mrs wizards leg look
Wizard, you need to seriously start working on a joint custody agreement for your baby Ferrari 🤣🤣
That interior needs a complete detail.
Sounds like they're replacing most of it. I wouldn't. It's only original once.
Coolant overflow mounded overtop the battery 👌
That’s the screen wash bottle.
Blue needles on the gauges are an unusual detail.
I restore cars for a living and one of our customers has a verde green 308 GTB, it looks like old guacamole :D
It's cool and all but that jettronic makes the already anemic engine even slower. The American fuel injected model only makes 205 horsepower compared to the 240 the carbureted models put out so you can actually get overtaken by 3.5 Altimas in your Ferrari.
That's quite a list.
That frunk is missing the steel battery cover and the black fiberglass cover for the a/c dryer, master cylinder, brake booster etc.. Car looks in great shape !! Slow as a dog though :)
Well I remember 1982!We were in a deep resession and cars ran slowly down the assembly line.At that time quality was pretty good with Chrysler probably the worst quality and Ferrari BMW Mercedes Volvo had alot of quality back then.I can't forget Datsun either.
