Magnum P.I. film clip

I'm told that on the old TV show, Magnum P.I., he drove a 280Z(X)... is this true? If so, does anyone have a film clip of said car? I just bought a gold colored matchbox on ebay and it says "Magnum P.I." on the side. It looks like - and I'm guessing - a 1979ZX non-turbo...

He drove a Ferrari 308. I suppose that it's possible than an early episode or start of the show he drove something else. I don't think so though. Look on youtube.

He drove the Z in the prequill

Magnum.. Devry the 2nd month....

You have got to be kidding...

How is this even remotely considered a TECH question?

It's not.... but it is entertaining!

"Don't ruin my whiskey with ice, I'm NOT a bloody American!" Sorry, He drove the Ferrari in the pilot too. Even for 1980 the Navy guys had way too much hair. And I never knew a Marine warrant officer who had his wings. WO flew in the Army...not Marine Corps. Annnnndd...it's 1980 and Magnum had just gotten out of the Navy...obviously serving during Nam...he should have been at least a Lt Cdr by then.

Yes, but Rick drove a red 280ZX in quite a few episodes...and TC had the VW Vanagon, also with the Island Hoppers logo & paint scheme, like the helicopter.

Which episode?

I just watched 3 of the 4 episodes on the first disk...not that one...Welll, things to do today. A copper 82 made it on Fox news couple nights ago when they were discussing the unemployed.
