If the "308" was painted gray, Kirby would have fit,

Nope. It was definitely a 308. A GTB, I think.
I shall check with the owner!

Well, he used to own it. and then he got married and then he had kids and
well.
He doesn't have it anymore.

Or is it possible Kirby is talking about a 308 GT4? They had a little back
seat so it would stand to reason that the seat might not go back as far?
Kirby what say you?

Unfortunately a lot of exotic sports cars are too small for us tall guys;
although I had a 308 and don't remember it being that bad. In fact my
recollection is that it was roomier than my Pantera, but it's been a long
time ago so my memory could be questionable.
>>>I drove your Ferrari 308 from Texas to California to deliver it to new
(and current) owner Rick Moseley. Your recollection is correct. They have
quite a bit more room than a Pantera inside, and are certainly more
comfortable. I'm six feet tall and had to have the seat several clicks
forward of the rearmost position to be seated correctly.
I would suggest that the 308 Kirby tried had 'issues' and the seat wasn't
all the way back.
I've seen the 308 that was used in Magnum PI; they had to cut the floorpan
and bolt the seat to the floor and Tom Selleck was still never really 'in'
that car; his head stuck out through the top and there is no way they could
fit the roof on.
