Awesome video!! The sound of the “small” displacement Colombo v-12 is fantastic. One of the greatest of all time!! Oh, and the previous video of Josh’s adjusting the carbs was epic too. Good stuff!!!
Wow, what a car! I am in 😍. I could have heard it wrong but it sounds like it has straight cut gears for the 1st gear if I was not mistaken? Very popular feature in Italian cars of the time.
Amazing car glad he’s driving it. Still don’t understand driving gloves, but if I was gonna wear them, I suppose that’s the car that I’d wanna be in lol
Some folks have naturally sweaty hands. The gloves help maintain a sure grip on the steering wheel. Plus in the old days of wood wheels, like this car...it helps prevent splinter from a worn wheel.
Sweaty hands or not, these wooden wheels are slippery without. I don't like driving gloves but my 250 GTE I have to drive with gloves and I'm not a sweatzer.
Man.....! You have NO idea how jealous I am of you in this moment. Nuthin' purdier that a Ferrari dressed up in Boranis. Gotta go change my drawers now. Tell Josh he done good! Great vid, sir!
I wish he had a calendar when he was going to drive it because I would be out on the curb waiting for it to come by. I live about 3 miles away from there. Nothing like the old V12.
Dan, there have got to be moments when your like, “Thank God for RU-vid and my decision to purchase a Ferrari.” If not for those two things would you have experienced something as awesome as the Lusso? Thanks for sharing and I hope wifey and Moe are ok.
@@dzikijohnny I know that fuel gets old, and if you let it sit too long, it'll cover parts of the carbuerator with varnish. I swear, in the old days, even when new carbourated cars just went out of tune whether you drove them or not. They'd be fine, but slowly would start running a little rough about a year in, no matter what. Maybe if you don't drive them, they go out of tune faster, I'm not sure.
@@cathrynm We have ethanol free fuel, and nothing in my collection sits long enough to be a problem. It's a full time job, and the pay is terrible, but to be able to enjoy all of the collection is a privilage that I humbly accept. Everything gets driven or sold.
@@cathrynm Here's something else to remember, and the GTO's that are now raced is the perfect example. Even IF you have an incident with these cars, more often than not, they are so old and things have happened, so in reality if something happens, it rarely affects the value. You send it off to Maranello and they fix it, assuming you survived what happened. The market for these cars is different than for the modern cars, and repairs etc. is just something people often consider part of the cars history with these cars.
No, far from it actually. Mcqueen's car was, and there is no way to say it nicely, diarrhoea brown with a brown interior. Kinda cool, but a bit ugly too. If you want a cool Lusso, check out the Ingrid Bergman car. Stunning.
Risk VS Reward. Should I park it? Should I drive? Every day, wake up and decide what to do. Drive an expensive car? YES. Save it for someone else to drive....no. Cars are meant to be driven, no matter what the risk. Why else would we own it?
@@cajunairman Couldn't agree more. Taking my 250 for a 1000 km trip in three days. Very beautiful car Jeff. If you don't mind me asking, is it a regular car with the 36 mm Webers or does it have the "Powerpack" with the 40 mm carbs and performance cams?
If you dated a super model, would you not fornicate with her so you can save her lady parts for the next guy? That is Ferrari owner’s mindset in a nutshell.
