The Ferrari 308 is already an icon, but this one is even more special. This 1979 Ferrari 308 GTS was used in the pilot episode Magnum, PI, 1980s crime drama starring Tom Selleck, and you can buy it.
Barrett-Jackson is auctioning a Ferrari at a Palm Beach event next month. The car has documentation, including letters from Ferrari historians and F-Register, claiming the car appeared in the first season of the show. The car even features seat modifications to accommodate Selleck’s tall stature.
Under the hood was a 2.9-liter quad-cam V8 engine with four Webber carburetors, producing 230 horsepower. It’s paired with a five-speed manual transmission, and equipped with a limited-slip differential and four-wheel disc brakes, which hide behind 15.4-inch Cromodora wheels.
The Ferrari features a Rosso Corsa red exterior and a Creama interior. This car has air conditioning, power windows, pop-up headlights and a removable roof. It is an icon of show.
The car will roll across the auction block in mid-April with no reserve. Another Ferrari 308 GTS from the show recently sold for more than $100,000.

Motorcycle Pickup1: There may not be a Ferrari V12, but the Magnum, PI, and Selleck make the 308 GTS cool. It’s still there 40 years later, and you totally bought it—minus the mustache.
