What’s up guys? Welcome back to the MotorJeff channel! Today on the channel we’re going to be picking up a new project! We bought a wrecked Ferrari race car on eBay Motors and it’s time to give it a totally wild transformation. Make sure you subscribe and click the bell icon to stay up to date with all three hundred installments of me getting in over my head, overpaying for parts, getting a bunch of shit for free, blowing up the motor on the dyno, and finally giving up and starting the whole process over again.

This thing has some pretty good bones. With a 3.9-liter 670-horsepower turbocharged V8, this thing would make a pretty great drift car or safari-style rally car, whatever the viewers of the channel think would click better. Hell, if I get a million likes on this video, I’ll put the whole thing in a crusher right now and save us all a bunch of trouble. We all know there’s no way this project will ever get finished.

I think the first mod is going to be putting a sticker on the back window with my Instagram account on it. Or maybe I should wrap it in a new livery.

The good? Well, it’s a Ferrari, duh. I can get fitted for a custom Ferrari race suit now, because I actually have a Ferrari race car. And I can put a Ferrari sticker on my F-350 tow rig, and wear exclusively Ferrari-branded clothing for the next year. Most of the stuff that makes this a Ferrari are still there, like the engine and transmission. Obviously there aren’t any wheels, so I’ll spend at least four videos teasing my new wheel choices until one of those companies decides to sponsor me and send a set for free.

The bad? Well, obviously there are some pieces missing. Those pieces are pretty expensive, so maybe I’ll try to fabricate some of them myself. I’m sure nothing will go wrong. This is definitely something I can do. The other downside is that I didn’t read the listing where it says this is not a street-legal car, so my plan is probably to do some fraud and drive it without plates or with plates from a different car, because nothing bad ever happens to a guy with a Ferrari.

That’s all the time we have left for today. Make sure to tell all your friends about this Ferrari project so they can give to my Patreon, too!

And thanks again to everyone who watched our last build project, a Lamborghini Aventador with a Tesla swap and tank tracks. From episode one “My New Project Lamborghini Is So Awesome” to episode 491 “It’s Over, I’m Selling My Dream Car.” You guys have been so great, and thanks to everyone who funded the project by subscribing to my underdeveloped Patreon page. If you guys keep giving me money, I’ll continue pumping out useless content.

Whatever, I don’t even like cars. Anyone want to buy feet pics?
