I remember seeing this car for the first time in Miami vice . After seeing under the hood you realize it’s a kit but it looks perfect . Wanted one every since.
@@thomaspavelko9412 Yes, the Spyder on Vice was a Daytona body over a Corvette chasis. Ferrari later came to an agreement with the show's producer to give them the Testarossa only if they blew the Daytona to bits.
A real 1972 365 gtb Daytona Spider is a 1 million dollar car at least thats concorde DeElegance restoration quality. Thats probably the reason they used the corvette with fiberglass body kit and Ferrari badging.Tom McBurnie did a awesome job building those replicas he's good.I wouldn't have any problem driving one,I would make a few changes 6 speed transmission, a Turbo Nissan engine to give me the high reving power and a positive traction diff.
Damn it looks in amazing condition. The other one is in Illinois and looked pretty rough. The other car they used for the stunts. This was the one they babied.

Vette donored Kit car but well made. If the builder could have more money and have the interior of the car copied as the original, and so as the mirrors with the headlights, it could be one of the best. But on the TV show, due to the non gear or the petrolhead post production sound guys, sometimes the car sounded literally the air cooled flat four from the VW bug and that always made me feel like I had a ice cold splash on my back. The few movie and or the TV show with the great sound of the original V12 revving as seen, was the Gumball Rally and same goes with the 427 Cobra raced on the L.A. river to the Portofino Inn at the Redondo Beach. That hotel still exists.
The Daytona on the show was not real either. It was a '76 'vette with the Daytona kit. Ferrari got pissed off that their name was on a kit car. That's why they blew it up and replaced it with a real testerrosa in the later episodes.
the Testarossa's werent real either they were body kits on DeTomaso Pantera chassis, and they didnt actually blow up the Daytona, it was a prop made to look like the car
@@motownXJdad9565 Indeed, though the ‘Rossa was real, used basically for the soft drives and ‘eye candy’… the replica Pantera(s) were used in the high speed chases and stunt driving… Enzo Ferrari probably would’ve gotten pissed off at them for wrecking it too!
Back in 1985 I had a '65 Vette chassis. I was doing a full frame off resto. So the chassis was sitting there all finished and gorgeous, and the body had a million miles to go. I came close to buying a McBurnie body for that car. I just ran out of funds and ending up selling the whole thing as is.
Jeff Curran I just learned that there was a real one used for a static shot in the pilot episode. I have to confirm so I'm watching it on HULU right now lol
I watched all of those episodes back in the day. In conversations that I had with Tom McBurnie back then he confirmed that the car in the static shots was his. It's how he and I got connected in the first place. I have original documentation in the form of photos and price lists that Tom sent me in the mail.
Corvettes from 1963 - 1982 all shared the same frame. This McBurnie kit required a 1968 - 1975 convertible body. The last convertible in this range was a 1975 if I recall correctly. So you had to have a 68- 75 convertible body to graft these body panels onto. I had a 1965 coupe body, so the cost was getting steep if I really wanted to have this car.
On the actual Miami Vice Ferrari Daytona / Corvette C4 the exhaust are are further apart from each other one on the left one on the right but further apart
Not quite, he was not happy and said I will send you cars if you never show the Daytona replica again. Hence, they decided to blow it up. Enzo sent 2 black Testas and it didn't reflect as well at night as this one did. They had to paint them white. Anyone know how much they wanted for this one, I see it's been a few yrs.
Hey what's happening i wish it's a five speed manual transmission instead of automatic transmission you can control the Ferrari daytona spyder instead & a manual transmission it's cheaper than of a manual transmission 😮😢
That would be a fun car to drive without the expensive maintenance cost. I wonder if you can fit a supercharged LT4 in there? 640hp would be pretty scary. LOL!
Everybody knows it's not a real Ferrari. Christ almighty, does anybody ever LOOK to see that the same drivel has already been posted 437 times already?
John Hancock--Apparently, not everyone knows the origin of the Daytona cars. In any event, let's keep a little perspective here. It's not worth becoming apoplectic over the fact that not everyone knows every last detail about these cars. Besides that, who cares? It's just a TV show that went off the air 30 years ago. Let's move on, shall we?
Doesn't look like the original film car for one didn't have yellow badge on the back exhausts in the wrong place, different steering front lights are different, I know the original car very well
Two replica Daytonas were built for filming, one is in private hands and the other is in a car museum. There was also the shell car that was blown up at the start of the 3rd season.
What happened did they take the pieces and glued it back together I thought exploded in the movie? Listen to the folklore that Enzo do not like the kit car therefore he offered to Testarossa for it have exploded in one of the shows?
I am watching season 2, episode 15 "One Way Ticket" right now & the lawyer Thurmond(the late John Heard,the dad from Home Alone) is driving an actual Ferrari Daytona.(Not sure if it's a real spyder or if it is a coupe that had it's roof chopped without a better look at the interior. They only 121 spyders were officially produced in Maranello(to the 150 McBurnie kits!) & of that, 22 were in yellow, so it may be a conversion.)
They never had a real Daytona, which Ferrari did not like. They blew up the Daytona kit car in the Season 2 finale. Ferrari gave them two new Testarossas that they used from there on in combination with one Testarossa kit car for stunts.
there are only 2 real Ferrari kit cars from the TV show, one is in a museum in chicago, and 1 in a private collection. the guy who built the TV cars also built just under 200 completed conversions sold to the public, and also sold another 350 kits to the public. so 2 real ones, and the rest are just Ferarri kits cars, not Miami Vice cars
You can but the kits online or even buy brand new from factory 5 . There are probably quite a few of them for sale if you search them . Very popular kit
Ty--There were two Daytonas; both were kit cars made using Corvette chassis and drive trains. They were made for the show by a gentleman named MacBurnie. He has also produced other replica cars over the years. The one you saw blown up was accomplished through the magic of Hollywood (they both still exist). One was kept in good condition for close-up scenes; the second was used for high-speed chases and runs through Miami at 2 a.m. Enzo Ferrari didn't like that they were using "fake" Ferraris, so in exchange for retiring the MacBurnies he gave the producers two new white Testarossas (the coupe that Sonny received as his replacement undercover ride in Season 3).
As a replica is waaay much Better than the ugly replica of the Testarossa used in few Dangerous scene. This Daytona looks extremely similar to the real Daytona.

This not even a Ferrari - let alone a Daytona. It is a replica, probably based on a Corvette or another American car. Actually the one they had in Miami Vice was a replica as well. The white Testarossa (Testablanca?) which appeared later in the show was the real thing though.
I remember seeing this car for the first time in Miami vice . After seeing under the hood you realize it’s a kit but it looks perfect . Wanted one every since.
I even built it as model after seeing it in Miami Vice.
I will always associate this Ferrari with Miami vice. Ferrari are always a sleek beautiful car but this one is a work of art.
And Gta Vice City
The only Ferrari used in the Miami Vice TV series was the Testarossa,the 'spider' was replica.

@@NickMichalak that's how I remember reading up on it..I figured there were more upset because it could drive around the block and not break down.
I'd buy that hands down, fake or not. Its owning a piece of history. I would have no problem driving it.
No one else for that matter.
The sound this car made in the show was always super amazing

Even if it’s a replica, I would still buy it. Just like I would buy the Zebra 3 or KITT
I just got back from Miami and imagined cruising South Beach in one of those Daytonas...it would have be Fresh!
Proudly drive a 1976 "Zebra 3" daily! 2nd one I have owned! Blessed!
Wow! It even has the Ferrari Badge in the wrong place just like the first original Miami Vice Daytona Replica!
That show just got everything right
Badass car from a badass tv show , Miami Vice !!
I have no problem driving a replica
This car is a work of art!
Who did the track remix? Sound fantastic
I dig it you can tell the a pillar is a c4 f🔥
I don't know, I think the front needs bigger amber lenses for turn signals.
That is one beautiful vessel.
The front Ferrari emblem was supposed to be on the section between the headlights.
My God… this is a beautiful spider

Front badge is in the wrong place. No Daytona ever came with an automatic trans. Nice toy if you’re into crappy copies.
I agree but theyre all automatic today
If i had the money i would buy this. Id put a newer LS1 for more power
In Miami Vice they didn't use a Real Ferrari
you are right, and it was not even this one
In the very first episode an actual one is used during a static shot with Crockett sitting inside but that was it.
