The Daytona Blown Up clip from Season 3, episode 1 brought me here. I watched that episode when it was originally broadcast in 1986. The demise of Crockett's ride was a pretty big TV event back then. Almost like killing off a major TV character.

Was watching the Mecum auction of a 91 Testarossa and the announcers mentioned Miami Vice and said Enzo Ferrari was a big fan of the show but not of the replica's being used so he said if they use a actual Ferrari (which he gave them) and stop using the replicas all would be forgiven.

I worked for Tom as a body man and painter's assistance. The reason they blew up the car was at that time. Ferrari was pushing a law suite against McBurnie for copyright infringement. Since he was using the Ferrari badging on the cars and also of course the Ferrari body. Ferrari approached the producers of Miami Vice and offered them a New Ferrari to use if they would destroy the McBurnie car. And that is the rest of the story.

Sometime in early 1985 my friends and I saw a black McBurnie Daytona, exactly like the one from the show, on Oakland Park Blvd. in Ft. Lauderdale. It was parked in a plaza (don't remember the stores) so we stopped to look at it. Wish we had a camera back then to take a picture of it, it was gorgeous.

For me two things were game changers in Miami Vice; one was the death of Zito, the other thing was the destruction of the black Daytona/Vette. I know that most people like the Testarossa a lot, after all it is a real Ferrari. But it didn't have the Daytona magic of MV's best years, after all it was a real Corvette.

He was a great car enthusiast. Unfortunately, he screwed up the history of the Captain America bike from Easy Rider. He built 2 Captain America bikes, and 2 of Dennis Hopper's bikes. All of the bikes, except the one crashed at the end of the movie, were stolen after filming and before the movie was released, and have never been seen since. Dan rebuilt the crashed bike, as well as a Captain America clone. He sold them both with a certificate of authenticity, as actual bike from the movie. Now, nobody knows which one is the real one.

I'm just now seeing this short video. At Phil Remington's memorial service, at the Riverside International Raceway Museum (long gone now) I sat at the same table with Tom. We all had the little paper name badges on, and I thought his name sounded familiar? We he got up for a few minutes, I Googled his name, and then I knew. We talked about the cease and desist order, and other things. I asked if I could swing down sometime, and see his shop in El Cajon, if I promised to call first. He said yes. Big surprise, I never got around to making the call, and now I believe his shop is gone like the museum. On a related note, Linda Vaughn was in attendance, and the car she was leaving in (as a passenger) was being driven by Lil' John Butera's daughter, and sitting next to my car. Linda was kind enough to take a couple of pics with me before she left. :)

Al Mardikian marketed replica cars, he had Tom McBurnie build the first 4 which were branded as the Mardikian 350 GTS. 2 of the Mardikian 350 GTS's were sold to Universal, Universal are the ones that re-branded them with the Ferrari badges. The M on the seat was the Mardikian logo.
