wow the sound when you really pushed it from 11:40-12:05 is just sublime.. These cars pretty inexpensive compared to other Ferraris from same 1967-1973 era. Thanks Tom

If this car was in Houston where I am, you must have a/c. To cool and defog from the coastal humidity.

Now on top of all of your other great skills you are a Ferrari HVAC tech!

Yep, you need a phenolic insulating disc on BOTH sides of the cigarette lighter casing.

Forza Tom! Great success What is your humidity? Important for wet bulb reference

Super

Good to hear that glorious sound back ;-) Pity you did not know the amount of fuel you had.

Do these drone a fair bit at partial throttle cruising? Or is it just the impression from the audio?

Funny my rear cig lighter I noticed had a broken piece on its bottom. Not sure what’s it’s called. But I agree with you about the necessity of having 12V available. Anyway it’s nice for everything to work on a classic like these. Thanks for the video!

There are aftermarket A/C companies in the street rod space that make custom systems that will freeze you out. Vintage Air is one of them ( I think they're still in business )

BORING BORING

Tom, thanks for this most excellent "show and tell" , "compare and contrast." I've always thought that Enzo considered the Lusso to be an inside joke. Yes, it is luxurious with all the leather and the great diamond-stitched rear parcel deck. But, for luxury (?) the door handle and the window crank are placed exactly opposite of the positions they occpy on almost every other car. So, when you reach for the door handle you get a window crank, and vice versa. There is no power steering, no power window, no AC and no radio. Virtually no storage whatsoever with the exception of minimal map pockets, with no console. Well, the gauge layout IS quite unique, but that hardly justifies its complete lack of practicality. No driver I know, would rather know what time it is than the rev count. However, there can be no denying that the Lusso is one of the two most beautiful cars in the world. (The other being an XKE roadster.) Great video fun to watch.Thanx again. Steve Meltzer.

Tom, Nice work polishing the stainless and getting the glass installed!! You made what can at times be a frustrating job look very easy. What is the name of that rich dark blue finish on the 330?

We used to have to replace windshields on subway crane car cabs. They used a rubber gasket and between the differences between machines and replacement glass , I have broken a few and the metal tool would crack them right away if it touches the glass. I am impressed, it is a Ferrari you are working on. Patience, experience and skill wins the day.

I never seen anyone put the trim in 1st They always beat it in after the window installed and the have a hard time

Is their protective film for windshields, the same way exists for bodywork?

Very elegant car, and great video! The GTC is the kind of car that one would take out for a long journey instead of going canyon carving for a couple of hours.

Brings back memories of installing the rear window of my '88 911 -- basically the same process shown here. A steep learning curve. I don't know how you install the window on the car without a helper putting outside pressure on the window so you can gently pull the gasket over the edge with the string from inside the car -- but you're a pro. Fun to watch.

That was a nail biter! I was waiting for the “crack”. Glad it went well. Looks great.

Wow, real time install, fantastic!!! Great outcome too

Again, sharp story, a working man , working on beautifull Cars. Sorry for poor.danish-english

Very sharp, skilled video on beatiaufull handmade car.

Thank you sir I find it extraordinary that you take the the time to share your work with viewers its much appreciated. Good luck

Love the channel, great content. Also, shows us that Ferraris are „just cars,“ too. I also love hearing about why they did things the way they did etc. Like the video where you compared different engines, inside plug 250, outside plug and 330. by the way, what are the differences between the numerous engine type they made, for example, among the 250s or 330s, apart from obvious things like inside plugs with 3 inlet channels to outside plugs with 6 or more carburetors, did they also change the camshafts, valve sizes, and other aspects of the engines as they evolved or for different models (for the 250s, for example, did a GTE and a Lusso and a SWB habe the same engines or were they different and how?) Were the clutches different? How long does a clutch last, btw., if you’re really good with it?

My father bought a new 250 GTE (then called the 2+2) Series one in 1962 from Brundage Motors, later to become Brumos. Mr Brundage also bought a 250 SWB steel body at the same time and sold that locally in Jacksonville also. Should not have done it but my teenage brain kept the plug wrench when the car was sold in 1965 and I still have it. Your videos are great and I hope you keep it up. Thanks

Solid vid, Tom. Love that 330 and happy you use it as it was designed to be used.

I bought a 1970 fiat 124 spider a year ago, and learning the ins and outs of a vintage manual has been quite the experience- gratifying at the end of the day

As a lifelong admirer of vintage Ferraris, I find the content of your channel truly insightful. Please keep the content coming !

Tom, great, a fuse box that is actually maintainable, love it. Another informative episode, personally I subscribe, learn and take interest because the work is on real cars, as opposed to the everyday cars currently on the road. Vintage Ferrari, Alfa, and Lancia, even a smaller number of Fiat examples hold a very special place in the industry which other manufactures of the day could not capture, with the possible exception of Jaguar and Aston Martin. These cars are historically significant, and a better understanding of their details is important, thanks so much for taking the time to produce this series. KZfaq, well thats a whole mystery on to itself, suffice to say “the content is important, not the stats” Thanks again.

There are some other channels that started out with genuine intentions but have at some point jumped the shark. You start to notice that it's now all about maximising revenue, and the quality of the content goes down. This is not one of those. I really enjoy your videos!

I’ve watched many of your videos. They are always informative and enjoy them thoroughly! Big thank you!!

I always like watching your videos. Since I was knee high to a grasshopper I have loved Ferrari and seeing these amazing classics closeup and learning about them is always a treat!

Really enjoy the content, it’s been very helpful in my own old Italian car journey!

I enjoy your videos Tom, interesting, clear and informative. I'm fortunate enough to have owned classic Ferraris and Lamborghinis in the past although sadly not any longer, however i still often have to work on older classics and the same tips and jobs often apply to 'regular' old cars 👍

liked and subscribed. I'm older, this is more the era of Ferrari that I would own, if i could afford it. Years ago I almost purchased a 330 2+2 but seeing part prices i knew i couldn't afford it. That said, I do sort of enjoy being an "armchair" owner and seeing what I might have had to go through if i had one. I enjoy the few times Tom takes us for a ride.......

Great lesson on the unseen work that it takes to maintain the great ones. Sounded fantastic!

Hey Tom, I really enjoy and find your videos enlightening and extremely useful. So please do keep them coming. Now for a small suggestion. Let's say someone needs to see some videos of this sort, but does not know of you but searches for classic Ferraris. I think you should always start the heading of your videos with '' Classic Ferrari Electrics Trouble shooting'' instead of this heading you used here. This way, I should think that you could have a much wider audience. Good luck.

Great video Tom. I'm replacing all the fuses on my cousin 275 GTS next week. Going to clean and tighten everything just as you did.

The Internet is filled with folks buying and/or destroying the latest and most expensive. I've been a Ferrari custodian for years, only the old ones, and I loved watching you troubleshoot and explain the resolve. I subscribed 😁

Excellent electrical fault tracing tutorial which can be applied to other makes and electrical systems, well done, thank you!

Just great honest intertainment from Tom, thank you for keeping doping these Thing. ( sorry for poor danish-english😊 )

I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

For enthusiasts who like to keep a sharp eye on whats going on in the big picture, your weekly episodes are like 'Your Daily Bread' . I think this is a pious religious expression but I feel it applies here too. Keep up the good work. BTW I am still running the original 1967 Bendix canister pump on my 'whip' (hardy har-har). I did change it out for the facet replacement as a preventive excercise, But it does not sing the thump thum thump chorus. It has this barren whirring sound instead, ummm Nope - reinstalled the rightful inhabitor of that position and smile every time I hear the beat. Also the transistor (?) circuitry in the updated pump is very sensitive to voltage, requiring a minimum around 12, which my car was just ever so slightly below for the random cold start. Knowing how the carbs evaporate the fuel so quickly after shutdown with modern fuel injection optimised blends this would result in a no start, so just another plug for rock solid reliable simplicity of the original breaker point mechanism in the old school Bendix thumpers. Another BTW ... Happy Summer Solstice !!

Great content and always much appreciated. Seeing your dedication to keeping these classics in top form is a pleasure.

I have been watching your Utube video’s ever since I saw the 250 PF you had displayed at the Lime Rock Historics. These videos are great for any vintage Italian car owner. Please keep it up. We will help spread the word.

YES I do ENJOY your videos The only bad thing is I don't own a Ferrari

You should invest in a power probe. Ground and power are easier to test. Thanks for the videos. I appreciate your work and explanations.

Have always enjoyed your videos. I once worked at an Alfa dealer where we would get to work on some old Ferrari's of the same era as yours. I especially like the videos you make where you drive the cars after the repair. It's nice to see these cars in motion with all 12 cylinders firing as they should.

I've been watching since the early vids and never miss one, even though I'm not a mechanic. Witnessing how you problem solve is an exercise is patience and logic and could be applied to many other fields. Thank you.

Are there any Nazis in here i hope not.
