Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Most Expensive Early 928?

[Hunter N. Schultz (hns]

Ferrari was not opposed to the idea either. I don't recall if they gave the cars to the show at first. I think they did for the injected cars. Certainly not the first one.

Due to Magnum, by the time Miami Vice rolled around, Ferrari basically gave them the TRs to get the McBurney Daytona off the air. If memory serves...

Tom didn't fit too well in the 308 either. They had to take out the bottom seat cushion and he basically sat on the floor with little padding. The spyder top sealed the deal for the producers.

That car received fan mail... Makes you wonder how that was handled at the production office?

Cheers,

Hunter

The reason why the 928 wasn't used in Magnum is that Tom didn't fit in it!  Access for the camera dictated a sunroof and 928s lost too much headroom with it.

You'd never see a 79 928 at this kind of money anywhere else:

Love the Risky Business tie in - amazing that Porsche didn't want the product placement back then.

 

I'm pretty sure I read that Magnum PI was supposed to drive a 928 too...and then Ferrari came in and the rest is history.

Maybe Porsche wasn't too happy with the scene at the pier?
