How Tom Selleck and the humble 308 rescued Ferrari from oblivion.
Common for a Ferrari, relatively affordable to maintain, and finely engineered by any standard, the 308 is the affordable-ish choice if you want to get out and put a lot of miles on a classic analog Ferrari.
Featured in more films and TV shows than any other Ferrari, the 308 is pure Hollywood. Its CV towers over even some big-name actors. The Internet Movie Cars Database lists almost 300 on-screen appearances. It had a starring role in, and a rev-happy Christie Brinkley teased Chevy Chase from behind its wheel in. Next to the always competent but ordinary G-body Porsche 911, the Ferrari was a supermodel with pipes to match. A 308 said you were somebody. The 911 said you were another dentist.
Many claim the 308 isn’t as solid or dependable as G-body Porsches, but this reputation isn’t entirely deserved. Donnie Callaway, a Ferrari master technician who lent us “O’Belo,” his 308 GTB, doesn’t blame the cars. “Eighties Ferraris are incredibly well made and engineered,” he says. “A 308, like an air-cooled 911, may have mechanical issues from time to time, but it will almost never leave you stranded. It will tell you something needs attention.
