Steve Bolton is a child of the ‘80s, so the fact that he was influenced by a certain Hawaiian detective TV show is no surprise. The allure of the Pininfarina-styled body and the distinctive roar of the V-8 is a combination that’s hard to resist, no matter your age. The Ferrari 308 came after the unloved Bertone 308GT4, and many felt this was finally a worthy successor to the voluptuous curves of the Dino a few years prior. The 1977 Ferrari 308 was also the first year of steel-bodied cars, instead of fiberglass, plus it had the desirable carbureted engine. Not many people get the chance to drive their childhood dreams, but in today’s film, this is precisely what happens. Even though this particular model is a GTB, versus the famous GTS, the emotion, and sound, is just as exciting.

It's true, owning a Ferrari is a relationship no doubt...I don't really know what it is, the history, the legend, or that there seems to be a supernatural presence in the car's DNA. I like to think of it as, the spirit of Enzo. Michael Schumacher once said, when he jumped in to the Ferrari F1, something magical happened and the car seemed to drive itself. Buy a classic Ferrari, drive it, work on it and live it, and you'll know what I mean. Whenever I drive mine, I always feel like I'm part of something just a little bit special. I admit it, I do talk to my car sometimes, it seems to run better. Forza Ferrari !

The best thing my dad did to this exact year Ferrari was gut the muffler. We shoved a 70 SS 350 Camaro exhaust within the existing muffler shell. It made a massive difference. On Ferrari track days before, the 12 cylinders would pull away on the straights from him. Afterwards, he kept up just fine. Even sounded better.

Steve's car is the best-looking version of the 308-328 series: Berlinetta, Euro bumpers, small front spoiler, no rear wing. As the owner of a 328 GTS, I know exactly how he feels. I will also drive mine in the rain (though mine used galvanized steel, which his didn't) and I also don't work on the car myself. But I average 4000 miles a year, and the car likes that! Enzo himself said, "My cars were meant to be driven!"

My Hubbie not only drives his 77 '308 GT4 in the rain, he drove it from Toronto, Canada to College Station Texas, and home again, for the unveiling of the Ferrari F40 in the 90's. It was late in the year with very cold roads making for a harder ride then usual. He watched the Speedometer roll past 99,999 miles and start all over again. At the College Station track he road his car hard for 3 days. Luckily they only used part of the oval and had a portion with twisty infield. The long wheelbase makes this car a sleeper on the curves. But only after removing the A/C and adding 5 gal dry sump instead. He also has a sunroof which helps on those hot days.!

In an effort to drive the costs of survivor '77 308 GTB fiberglass Ferrari's up, in the '80's we bought one and chopped it up making a full race GT-2 racer out of it. The engine and transmission work was done by the legendary Bob Wallace here in Phoenix. All other work was done locally and we campaigned it with some success for a couple of years. In full race form it was a formidable adversary in the GT-2 field. We had the pleasure of racing at Riverside prior to its 1989 closure. What a time it was. What a car it was. And the sound. Magnificent.

Another great therapy video from petrolicious and as others have said, no pretentious look at me vibe. Engine overrun sounds amazing! Loads of toggle switches and dials too, what a great interior with the Ferrari gated gear selector. I think that's where restomods have it over new cars, same reliability and performance but more dials and switches. But still there's a charm to the unmolested classic where the boot smells of engine oil and you still have to keep an eye on that temp gauge........however you wouldn't leave that car outside in the UK, unless you like moss growing in your window tracks.

I’m glad he’s enjoying his car and drives it. I’ve had a series of 328s, and most certainly enjoyed them as well although never drove them in the rain. It seemed like he was inferring that it wasn’t garaged? He “left it outside”? If so, that’s worth discussion. In any event, a nice 👍 for sharing his car with us. I will say that the back pressure from the exhaust system (older Borlas maybe?) does not quite seem right. Surprised no comments about that. Back pressure is not good long term for the motor.

The great appeal of cars, to me, is the total combination - the design, the engineering, the sound. Looks AND function, if you take away one of them it’s no longer a car. Without drivning they’re pure pieces of art, sculptures. Which is fine. I like sculptures, but I love cars... That’s also why I have trouble getting excited about pre-war, or even 40-50’s cars often - you can’t really use them, which is half the allure... This guy certainly uses his Ferrari - good for him!

I have quite a bit of seat time (4k+ miles) in a 308GTSi. I spent a lot of time splitting between a 1998 Diablo, a 1986 Testarossa and the 308. In that trio, you'd think the 308 may be a disappointment, but frankly speaking, I highly enjoyed the 308. It's true...it's not fast, by todays standards, but the car is a real classic feeling, Italian machine...very mechanical, very simple and frankly...less attention getting which was good in my opinion. The Diablo and the Testarossa was constant interruption in your day at gas stations or wherever...but the 308 allowed you to live with the car uninterrupted. Aside from the occasional enthusiast...it was the car easiest to live with. That being said...if I could have any of them back, it'd be the Testarossa.

Not a troll , or a hater, I actually owned an 81 GTB I bought off consignment at F40 motor sports in Portland, CT. I want to say around 1999-2000. Anyway, I was like this guy, I fell in love with the aura, prestige and mystique. I was young , in my 20’s. In actuality, the car was a dog speed wise. Had to get new tires and alignment. The second gear synchro went. And last but not least, I discovered rust and rot in the very bottom of the doors and quarter panels, which I was never told about. I eventually sold it 2-3 years later for $15,000...half what I paid for it. Moral of the story, these cars can be like relationships. This guy had like at least a dozen negative comments, but STILL loves the car !!! It’s only a machine, don’t be afraid to let go and cut your losses !! Anyone remember pet rocks ?

The best-kept secret in cool-looking, fun-to-drive, affordable cares are the Ferrari 308s and Mondials. You can pick one up for $30 to $80K, they perform reasonably well (given that they are 30+ years old) and maintenance costs are modest, because they are analog cars, and by today's standard, not particularly complicated.

These are suprisingly practical. I used mine to pass my test, use as a daily - even in snow, pizza delivery and even a house move (all but the furniture!). Even comfortable on 400+ miles round trips

Early 308's are not only some of the most underappreciated Ferrari's, but underappreciated sports cars in general. Not only great to look at but vastly underrated for it's driving characteristics. Not necessarily fast or great on the brakes, but the overall package works really well. And like the owner says, its somewhat of a time capsule. Unmistakably "1977," but most of us know this was not a high point in car design (esp in America.) However the 308 is one of a handful of cars of the era that are aesthetically fantastic. Great car, great owner and great video!

I wish there were a shot of his house. I could tell it was modernist from the couple of shots that were featured. Brilliant film as usual.

As much as I desire a Ferrari car and realizing that I will never be able to afford one, I feel good when people who are lucky to have one really appreciate its beauty and quality.

Made me laugh about putting anything in the trunk. It’s exactly what will happen in mine.. Super heated and smell like gas... Although any passenger that’s been with me, is having a great time..well, except my wife!! Can attest to everything you said. Great video I was waiting for this

My Fiat X1/9 (don't laugh) had a rear boot that did exactly the same - we used to call it the pizza oven.
