We found the original Miami Vice Ferrari in a garage

Now for some, you'll know right off the bat that this was not an original Ferrari, however they were replicas of the real Ferrari Daytona Spyder. These cars were built off corvette chassis and used in the filming of Miami Vice. This particular car was used as the camera car in many of the famous driving scenes. We caught up with the owner of this car, and got the whole backstory on this amazing car.
Thanks for watching!

Ferrari Testarossa the last few seasons

[@ThomasFerrugia]

Not certain this is all accurate. First, Tom McBurnie built the original two cars (not 'Tim'). Second, there are number of ways to distinguish the Miami Vice replicas from the real car (in addition to the fly-windows), such as: the replica's Corvette windshield is nearly vertical compared to the steep rake of the real car; the replica's fenders are flared out aggressively while the original has very thin/small fenders, the replica's rear quarter panel marker lights are recessed within the body-line, while the real car's are above the line and ringed in chrome; the replica has big chrome handles set in the doors, while the originals were just little finger pulls positioned on top of the frame; the replica has square headlamps while the originals are circular; and the seats/interiors are completely different. Third, while the Carl Roberts cars were commissioned during Season 2 for use in Season 3 (to supplement the two McBurnie cars seen) they never made it on air due to the Ferrari lawsuit against Tom McBurnie and ensuing deal between NBC/Universal to replace Crockett's "Daytona" with the Testarossa. Fourth, the production destroyed a miniature Daytona on air, the real cars weren't damaged.

[@ejscarfo19]

I was thinking the same thing when watching this. Any real car guy would notice the difference between this replica and the real thing. The GM sport mirrors are a dead giveaway, the real one would of had a small chrome mirror with round face.

[@cwindsor8585]

The car has the camera mounts on it I have been in his garage this is the real deal they used many cars

[@ThomasFerrugia]

@@cwindsor8585 : No. Just two cars were used for the show. One is in the Vuolo museum and the other is owned by a private collector and hasn’t been seen in decades.

[@cwindsor8585]

[@ThomasFerrugia]

@@cwindsor8585 : I’m well aware of how TV shows and films are produced. Again, only two replica Daytonas (in total) were used for filming the TV show. One based on a ‘76 Corvette and the other on a ‘79. That’s the entirety of the cars NBC had (please go ahead and look it up). One went to a collector and the other was later featured in the movie Speed Zone before winding up in the Vuolo museum. This car’s interior and badging are all wrong anyway. If it has markings of camera mounts, it may be the Daytona replica featured in an 80s TV movie called ‘Moving Target’ starring Jason Bateman. Or, it could be one of the cars that NBC commissioned after season 2 for season 3 that were never got used.

Greetings from Brazil. In the 80's I didn't miss a single episode of this wonderful series. Everything was iconic, the songs, the cars, the clothes, everything. The 80s were wonderful. Today I'm a police officer, and when I go to Miami on vacation I keep trying to imagine what it was like in the wonderful 80s. Excellent video.

ABSOLUTELY NOT affiliated with the show in any way. He's only got 1/3 of the facts about the cars correct. The rest sounds like a cut and paste of Wiki misinformation. If he really owned an original, you would think he could get Tom Mcburnie's name correct. And yes, Tom calls BS on this car. Guy couldn't even get the Zenith brand of wheels correct. Michael Talbott never owned a Daytona. He acquired the T-Bird that he drove in the show. I became friends with Michael after doing a meet and greet event with him, the Volo screen used Daytona and our screen used Scarab from season 2. He talked about having the T-Bird, but never said anything about a Daytona. Pretty sure that conversation would've came up that day. When I told him that we purchased the Daytona that was built for Zenith, to promote their wheels at the auto shows in the 80s, there was still never a mention of having owned one. Had a conversation with Olivia Brown about memorabilia that the actors acquired at a meet and greet with her and the Scarab. No story about Michael and a Daytona. Anyone can get a picture taken with their car and an actor at a comic con event and make up a back story. Happens all the time in the TV vehicle world. Fact is, Tom Mcburnie himself, cast members and crew members that we're in close touch with, all state only two Daytona replicas were used and one original for one brief scene in the pilot.

[@ebt12]

In an interview here on KZbin, Tom McBurnie stated the show used cars 1 and 4. Car 1 was based on a 1976 Corvette, and car 4 a 1981 Corvette. There were also other differences between a real Daytona and the replica, not just the triangular windows on the doors. You are so right, he got a lot of information on the car incorrect.

[@VoloMuseum]

Talbot's name was put on the title just a few years ago as a co-owner so it could be said "he owned it". The car is out and out fraud.

[@mickywinters8451]

The actual original car from the show was on display at the Ft Lauderdale swap shop outdoor flea market. They had the car inside for years and years inside a gated display that no one could touch. I used to work there and it may still be there on display. It was actually a corvette with a Daytona Ferrari body kit. Since this show was filmed down in Miami it’s safe to say the original was 25 miles north in ft Lauderdale at the ft Lauderdale swap shop. At least it was for over 2 decades. I believe they still have the white testarossa from the show as well. If you google them you’ll see the white one in the pics inside there.

Truthfully the only reason you would really want a Ferrari Daytona is as a collector and hopefully an investment other than that their shit most died by fire, I would rather have this and be able to drive and enjoy it you wouldn't want to drive a Daytona just because of what you paid for it and the cost of maintaining it.

[@3.2Carrera]

My Dad was a vice cop in South Florida in the late 70's and all though the 80's. They didn't have Ferraris, but undercover agents did have unmarked cars and they were rotated often with some sports cars thrown in like a gen 3 Trans Am. The actual cars were wired for a siren with hidden switches because they could have suspects in the car. Sheriff's depts in FL use blue lights so he had the exact same light but in blue. I recall a radio was somewhere in the car hidden, but can't remember the details of that. I remember they were always made my Motorola. When the show was on Mickey Talbott spent time with them researching and he was very well liked by the cops. The undercover agents that were making dangerous cases against cocaine traffickers were a bit put off by Don Johnson and his own "vices", which they were very well aware of, lol. One more thing- the agent badge would have looked similar. I need to find my Dad's, but I recall is was an eagle over a Sheriff's star. It it would have said Sheriff's Department (or later Office) Dade County FLA or something like that and then on the bottom is would have said agent. I don't remember badge numbers on the shield. The ID card would have been closer to what was issued.

I’m also friends with McBurnie who built both cars for the show, they were 2 of the first 4 cars he built and those 4 cars have unique characteristics that only the 1st 4 cars had which are part of the construction and missing from this car. Everything about the 2 real cars is heavily authenticated.

[@cwindsor8585]

I doubt you own 1 of the four cars. How do you know John? Because I know him personally, he is avery successful individual with no reason to fabricate wild stories . He is credible and has done work with multiple major film and tv companies. Also, are you trying to say that? Michael was willing to tarnish his reputation to be paid to put his name on a car that he didn't have anything to do with for the sake of making a few bucks and to be caught up in a controversy just so John could tell stories to stroke his ego.. like his career with NASA and being an inventor wasn't enough. He had to fabric stories about a tv car to go along with the 20 other vehicles he owns?

Jeez, people... IT'S THE CAMERA CAR!!! Because it had cameras mounted in various places, it wasn't used for external shots, so it didn't have to be an exact copy to the other two cars!

I have a Land Rover that was used in a episode of X-Files: it was used for both interior and exterior shots, however, my truck is a naturally aspirated diesel - and the injector pump timing was off at the time, so it smoked like a chimney! So, they rounded up another one, painted it to match my truck, and used it for external driving shots. When editing was done, they mixed shots of both trucks together. Fine, but the true Land Rover junkie can easily tell that two different trucks were used. (Easiest giveaway: my truck has locking hubs on the front axle, while the "stand-in" truck did not) I have a friend that has a shop, and he was tasked with resurrecting the Peugeot used in the series "Columbo", back in the '90's: same thing - there were 3 of them. They're identical, but there are small differences between them, but, they were close enough. The cameras are only looking at certain things, so while it does help, the cars don't have to be perfectly identical to one another.
