You should talk to Dan @ Normal Guy Supercar. Maybe they would fix-up your Ferrari as one of their You Tube channel projects. You know he'll be sympathetic to your situation and he's always looking for content.

He is better off buying a low milage wrecked and sell the parts he doesn’t need and use the parts he needs

Hey Matt, Good to hear you got the tittle!!! Give me call, I might have a lead on a gearbox and motor... Don't Convert it to0 electric. I finally got my F430 fixed. Had to tear the whole motor down, new heads, new cams, new variators and all new pistons. But it's running and was worth the wait. It so nice now that it's all sorted out. hit me up if you still have my diggets.

I would send it to RMT Motorsports in Yorba Linda Ca. Randy is the best in the business for Ferraris. He used to run the service center for Ferrari Newport Beach back in the day and this RMT is his own shop. He works on my exotics and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. He and his team will do the job perfect.

Don't go electric mate. The REASON for that car is the high pitched V8 scream above 5000 rpm. The smiles per mile mine gives me is priceless. Do the rebuild, you'll never regret it.

I feel for you. However, your video makes me feel better about having to pay full sticker for my Charger Scat Pack last fall.

Lol, that's what I'm here for!

send it to Dan in Austin. His shops have all the ferrari knowledge you will need.

Send it to Car Wizard or sell. Take a loss but you can get yourself the sorted one, you always gonna think that something is wrong with this car even when you sort it out. This particular car is just not for you, the universe tells you - get another one, since day one. Good luck!

@ratarossa needs to help this guy!

The motivation to proceed would be tough to muster, followed by expensive. The electric conversion really is the unique option, content wise, and only if shop is fully down to be recorded and interviewed along the process. It would be a cool modernization move, and 90 miles is really a good cruise. What brand or make is the electric system?

You should get a pull out engine and trans from a crashed one. I believe there is a company in California that specializes in exotic car parts like this.

The update I forgot I was waiting for! Progress is progress.

Little bit at a time. Figure out a way to phase the 50k into manageable chunks. Glad to see you got over that huge hurdle. It’s all doable now. Nice seeing a video from you.

Assuming it's "ONLY" $50k! Watch Matt Farah talking to the guy restoring Matt's 308. He reminds Matt that the low mileage cars that cost $50k more, still need the same $60k in AGE maintenance/restoration, as his car did. CARS NEED TO BE USED AND DRIVEN. It's why I feel so bad for the "average" exotic owner. Until you can REALLY DRIVE THEM, you have no idea what else the car needs. If it was this neglected, chances are it goes deeper than "just" $50k

I will say this - She is one beautiful work of art. High maintence lady though.

Thanks for the update. Ugh, what a horrible first-time buyer experience! Now that you have the title, have you considered just selling it at a $60K+ discount with full disclosure? I bet someone who loves these cars and has the time and money to fix it may liberate you from this on-going nightmare. It's gotta be frustrating to have an exotic sitting in the garage that you can't drive until you sink countless thousands to have someone else repair in who-knows-how-long. Best of luck!

Glad you've finally got the title after what you been through you definitely can't sell it owning a car with a fantastic story makes it more than just a car it would be worth fixing definitely don't go down battery swapping it to an ev even if it takes a few years to repair stick with it

You need to find a shop that really knows the 360. One with the knowledge to sort your car out. Even my lowly 996 needed a shop that truly knew that model, not a general Porsche/German car mechanic. With its crazy history I think your Ferrari deserves to be put back to good running condition. Good luck with whatever you decide

Hello man it is Randall here, I sent you an email a while back wondering what happened to you and the car and you responded, Thanks for the update Bro, I was not expecting the multitude of problems. None of your problems are impossible to get over. You have some good suggestions in the comments to reach out to the You Tubers mentioned for help. It could be content first for their channel and then your channel. Or, maybe try reaching out to the clubs or even Ferrari Club of America for help. You also could develop a relationship with a mechanically inclined buddy to help you get the easy things fixed like the hoses that would save you a bunch of money. Research the best shop and have them do the work over a period of time. I think you could save money getting the work done sooner than later. The price of things is just going to keep going up. To get the things fixed is probably only going to go up. The worst thing you can have a car do is sit. If it sits long it may just develop more problems. Good luck bro and I look forward to seeing more content. You have a good story. You have a good cool car and it be cool to continue your story.

Have you tried Stewert's? I've taken my 360 there a few times and they take it in right away. One small job, one big job. Salerno's had me on a long waiting list then told me to find another place after Ben hurt his back.

At first Stuarts said they could do it, but then they just stopped replying to me.

You need to get in touch with Dan from Normal Guy super car. You will save money and be happier. DONT electrify it, sell it before you kill its soul

Honda K swap it lol (But kind of dead serious) You could get a 500-600hp turbo setup swapped in for $15k-20k At least you could DRIVE IT, and ENJOY IT Then, slowly rebuild the Ferrari drivetrain, or source a better, lower mileage drivetrain. another 10 years, and these too will be bringing premium money I agree with no electric though....you'll DESTROY too much of the car to go back to ICE. Unfortunately, you'll LOSE $100k in value after spending $100k on electrifying it lol

You'll have $250,000 into a $150,000 car

WOW

I use to have a BMW M3 that I loved. At one point something new broke down. I decided to cut my losses fix it and sell it it before it broke down again. I don’t the numbers on your car but very low mileage 360’s with major service are selling just north of $100k.

iTS BEEN 3 MONTHS. UPDATE US ON THE 360

do you have an update on CC motors , god no please dont do a eletric ferrari , you can get it working , you can rebuild the motor and repairs for way less or get a whole new enigne and hoses would be less than repairs and replacement hoses, normal guy supercar could help you , they could do a manual swap and fix the 360 all the same

Exactly what I was thinking. Deal with the hoses and gearbox issues/manual conversion. If you still find you need the motor rebuild, then cross that bridge. At the end of the day, you will have a manual 360 freshly rebuilt in perfect working order.

So what’s the update now? Homeless? Still have the car? Talk to me!

Definately don't EV it! The soul of a Ferrari, any Ferrari, is the sound, smell and feel. There's no joy in plugging in and driving silently a hundred miles. EV a Karman Gia, or maybe even a Porsche 996/986 with a bad engine, or an old 3 series. Glad you re-thought that one.

"Promosm"

Don't do the electric thing! If you're gonna do that to an old Ferrari, please just sell the poor thing and buy yourself a Tesla Plaid or something.

call normal guy supercar and have them work on it.

Part this boat anchor out and buy a Porsche
