A 1979 Ferrari 308 GTS that starred in Tom Selleck’s Magnum P.I. is heading to Barrett-Jackson’s Palm Beach auction in April, offered with no reserve. The unrestored, patinaed car—carbureted V-8, about 93,000 miles, five-speed manual—was used in the pilot and early seasons (repainted from Fly Yellow to Rosso Corsa) and comes with show provenance, including a cross-country trip for Car and Driver. Prior sale attempts on Bring a Trailer and at a GAA Classic Cars auction topped around $120k but did not sell. Barrett-Jackson emphasizes its iconic status, and a new owner could technically sit in Selleck’s seat while reliving Magnum P.I. nostalgia.

An armed man identified as 21-year-old Austin Tucker Martin was fatally shot by Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County deputy after entering Mar-a-Lago’s secure perimeter in Palm Beach.

A 2007 draft federal indictment against Jeffrey Epstein laid out charges of sex trafficking and exploitation of more than a dozen teenage girls over six years, detailing a pattern of luring victims to his Palm Beach home, paying them, and even having others recruit more girls, with a coercive threat to a 16-year-old who might report the crimes; the document was never filed because Epstein accepted a state plea deal in 2008, and its release by the Justice Department now shows how extensively investigators believed he operated.
