I have a question. sonny, do i use the ray ban wayfarer carey or the wayfer 2?
Crockett drove a 1982 Camaro berlinetta in season one.
@@lucasignorello6512 The Pilot episode I remember. Lol
Well done.
One of the few videos with accurate information....
Fun facts: TUBBS drove CROCKETT's sleek, black Ferrari Daytona Spyder only once...and never the Testarossa.
Sean Metro, that Ferrari Daytona was actually a replica body on Corvette drivetrain chassis.
The story is Ferrari offered a real one after they saw the Daytona was a replica , the show was really popular by then & great for the company advertising the car
Ferrari send 3 cars. 2 in black for the show. One in grey for DJ
Michael Mann also got one, but idk if it was apart of the same package.
@@seanfree3821 Don’s was an ‘89 model. Are you sure they gave him one in ‘86 too?
@@retro-dademusic6403 in not sure. I read it on a magazine in that time. It was DJ and his testarrosa in a picture. Of course it could be a mistake . there was not internet by the time😎😄
@@seanfree3821 the internet is not always right either😅 cheers friend
Cait: The Testaroni?
Sonny: It's Testarossa.
Still cracks me up to this day.
That 190/300 convertible Mercedes at the end is worth its weight in gold right now!
It was worth a lot back in those days already. That's why the bad guys (those two music industry goofs were the worst bad guys in the show history) took a cheap Dodge/Chevy/whatever for that final scene where their car crashed and burned. LOL.
If you ever get to see a Testarossa in person, do so. Its insanely smaller and lower than you can ever imagine. The camera work makes it look like a 1970's Cadillac, but in reality, its an oversized go-kart.
I saw it while they were filming on Flagler Street and little Havana. Very wide but after going to the Grand Prix it was typical 80's styling.
@@alfreddominguez2750 I wouldn’t say “typical” 80s styling….more like defined 80s styling.
I've seen a couple. Two things stick with you besides the cheese grater intakes: 1. It's very low slung as you indicate above; 2. It's extremely wide, especially so at the rear. I will not agree that it's anywhere near small, it's a big car, just low and squat.
They are wide. Mine barely fits on my standard-size lift. The rear tires overhang the lift on both sides.
It's the same for other vintage sports cars... like the old air cooled Porsches (that cost pretty much the same as Testarossa these days). They're much much smaller than new Porsches. "Sports cars" today are oversized GT's with full of electronic driver aids. That's why people are looking more and more for these real sportscars that still had analog, raw driving experience.
Sonny Crockett is the coolest character in television history.
The GOAT of TV
This show is immortal. If they do decide to reboot it, Don Johnson better be at the helm and none of that progressive bullshit stuff
@@allthecolors6900 Don't reboot it, something's are better left alone.
@@allthecolors6900 No need for a reboot. It already had a black protagonist...😏
Sorry, Tubbs has him beat by a mile
My uncle bought one of the stunt Testarossas (a Pantera with a body kit), after shooting on the show had wrapped up, it was in rough shape but he had it restored. However, by the time it was complete, he spent so much money on it, he could have almost bought a real used Testarossa. 😆 Several years later he sold it to a collector who loved the show and got twice as much as he had in it, but he really regretted not keeping it.
Best cop show ever!!! Period!!!
Absolutely !
the coolest TUBBS' car and cover name, CUBERA was a 1983 ASTON MARTIN V8 VOLANTE from season 3 episode WALK-ALONE.
Yes!!! I remember that Episode, too. My favourite car
That should have been TUBBS' car for the series.
This is one series whose charm & attraction can never diminish !!!!
Watching season 3 onward it was surprising how little the stunt Testarossa (Pantera based) was used. There were quite a few obvious examples but in the long chase in""Down For The Count (Part2)" it's nearly all the real Testarossa including the 180 degree spin - I always thought that was really brave. The stunt car was always easy to pick out largely due to the deep dish chrome wheels but it was Impressive stuff though and some tremendous driving with both the real and stunt car.
I worked on Vice as a stuntman and the Pantera bottomed out so badly we only used it a couple times in the beginning of season 3. After that, all the real deal. We had a rig/stunt one and the "Picture" one that Don and his double Bobby drove! Fact..I was there!!
@@wetsetmarineA stuntman from mv. I could rattle your ears off with questions.
@@wetsetmarine man, that's sick! I'm sure you have all the cool stories! 😄 What an era...
The best tv cars. Ever. 😎
That Testarossa must have been like a spaceship back in the 80's.
I think, the Daytona replica was the best! 👍
There is a White camaro in the pilot
Not That I Saw The First Car Was A Fake Ferrari Daytona Spider Build On A Corvette Frame They Did Use A Real One The First Two Seasons But It Was Towed On A Flat Bed Truck After They Blew up The Fake One They Went To A White Ferrari Testarossa A Fake One At First Then Ferrari Threatened To Sue Them They Were Givin Two Real Testarossas But They Had To Destroy The Fake Ones I'm Not Calling You A Liar I Just Never Saw The Pilot And Can't Find Anything About A Camaro So Maybe You Know More Than Me. What Is Funny Is Someone Is Running Around Saying They Used Lamborghinis Which I Know For A Fact They Never Used And This Fool Says He Was A Stuntman On The Show If He Was He Doesn't Know A Plane From A Boat
Tubbs drove the camaro in the pilot
No show like before or ever since. It was one of a kind.
"Miami Vice" Daytona spider was later also used in 1989 "Speed Zone" ( The Cannonball Run 3 )!!
I love how Crockett starts the Porsche with the imaginary key on the wrong side of the steering wheel.
Ferrari gave the production company the TR because they didn't want the fake Daytona getting screen time. The car company from Maranello is very particular about their brand image.
Odd Vice trivia - you saw the interior of every main character's home except for Rico's.
I noticed that too! He uses his right hand. That’s not where the key goes in that car.
They swapped the steering column with a column from a race version 928.
Ahhh happy days.. loved this show so much.
Great video!!
Thank you!!!
The editing in this video is sublime.
glad to see this channel growing, great work and clips!
I love the Ferrari Testarossa. Made mine on GTA Online.
That white Testarossa is so iconic!
What can I say? I have a knack for driving some nice cars.
I don't blame you a bit.
@@guymorris6596 Thanks, pal
Fan theory: Crockett inherited millions when his rock-star wife Caitlyn was murdered - and bought the car himself when he quit.
I think you're right. She was rich, they had no kids and he was the sole heir. The writers seem to forget that though.
It was a shame that Caitlin was never mentioned again. When Angelina was killed, they showed the whole team grieving at the cemetery. We saw Caitlin shot and Sonny grieving on his boat, but that's it. I never understood that.
Had a friend on the production crew and he used to get me on set when they’d film. I would just kind of hang out of the way.
Two identical Testarossas were used. They were originally black, but then painted white because it was felt they didn’t show up well during night scenes.
Cheaper to paint them than supply two new white ones!
Michael Mann never had a problem filming a black car at night. Production got lazier I think,
@@markmorris76 Another interesting tidbit. One time I was there when they were filming a scene. There was a guy by the name of Joe Hess who was a local martial artist in South Florida. Used to train police officers etc. If you look him up you’ll recognize him from the series. Kind of a big burly guy with a mustache.
Anyway, they were filming a scene where he comes up behind a guy in karate chops him in the back of the neck knocks him out in the drag him into a car. Initially he walked up to him and kind of just did this front hand karate chop and I made the comment that it didn’t look real. Like I was telling them that what would look more realistic if the karate chop was sort of a backhand so it look like he put weight into it. So they refilled it with the backhand karate chop and went with that! My little bit of fame I suppose
The funny part in all of that, was Michael Talbot the actor that played Zito kind of looked at me with a puzzled look and said “who are you?”
@@keywestfan2503 Great story haha
@@keywestfan2503awesome . Should be written into history.
Awesome cars from Crockett.... 👍
I personally like the Lamborghini Countach from dude he chased
In the same chase the Countach changes back and forth between two models if you watch the entire chase scene. Watch the rear of the car. They used two cars.
Crockett’s Daytona was probably faster than a real Ferrari in that McBurnie installed twin turbo small block Chevy 350s in them. In Nash Bridges he drove a yellow 1971 Hemi Cuda clone. The car was actually outfitted with 340 small block A series engines. So that makes two of Don Johnson’s most famous TV cars a fake. But still very cool.
Three.....
The Testarossa was a kit on a Pantera.
In the episode, "Smuggler's blues" crockett drove a Wimbledon white 1967 Ford Mustang Convertible when they going to the plane.
Crockett uses his famous "clear my desk" line -- slightly paraphrased to, "I will clear my desk of all my other cases and spend every waking hour making sure you fry for the murder of a cop!" -- for a final time in this episode. He would use the line a total of four times over the course of the series -- the other three occasions being in "One Eyed Jack", "French Twist" and "By Hooker by Crook".
Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona spider in:
1976 "The Gumball Rally", The Best Car movie ever made!!
1984-1986 "Miami Vice", The Best TV Show ever made!! 😎
Tribute amazing . The best Miami Vice , the song are sureal
I lived on the street where Carl Roberts shop was located when he was building the stunt cars. Saw the Daytonas and Testarossa’s on numerous occasions……it was pretty cool.
Carl still has a complete side of a Testarossa hanging on the wall of his radiator shop. Used to ride bikes up to his body shop where he was building them.
5:35 just wait one second, now that is oscar golden globe style acting stuff here
I had a copy of Popular Mechanics magazine from the 80s that went into detail about all the toys on Miami Vice. The Daytona Spyder was a kit car built on a Corvette frame. Also in the pilot episode, when Sonny is chasing Rico through the harbor, he drives a 84 Camaro Z28.
serie legende the king
nice ride along memory lane ...
Laa mejor serie de television de todos los tiempos Miami Vice.
Even if they're not genuine, those are some amazing replicas.
Excellent job.....
Nobody mentions the Pantera kit.....
Very well researched.
Does that Pantera kit have some visual giveaways that you can spot it being a replica?
@@detonator2112
It's my understanding that it was so perfect that it was even used in close ups.
But you could operate the front and rear brakes independently for some of the J turns and such.
Pure Vice, Miami. 🌴 Mikey from 🌞 Southern Florida. 😃
Beau 🤩 travail 🤩👍👍💫
In the pilot episode it was the real deal Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona spider! 😎
Very briefly yes. One scene with Crockett sat inside reading a newspaper near the beginning.
@@cologne2792 and they still managed to get a ding on the car based on it being used once.
@@youngladaustin2012 that's why the owner pulled out 😆
Sorry Joe, No such car as a Ferrari 365 GTS/4! Just a 365 GTB/4 with the roof hacked off and called (by some) a “Daytona”🙉🙉🙉
Ohhhh my lord the 1959 Chevy task-force step-side man that’s gorgeous ❤
Good history
Like Magnum, it's funny how no one ever recognized the cars elsewhere in the city and put two and two together.
I Loved The Daytona Spyder!!
I loved Miami Vice when I was a kid !!
Very well done. I like to think he left the Testarossa at a Pier when he got on a Boat to go "Further South" He probably takes people Fishing for a living down in The Keys or Bahamas.
6:12 The first generation Testarossa's came pre-installed with major flaw that would not be discovered until the car aged around 15 years. When the Testarossa was designed, no new differential and transmission component was made for the model, instead, a carry-over from the 512 Boxer was used and the car was sold. The Testarossa was a Boxer model with increased horsepower and fitted with wider tires, which was not a good match for the older 512 differential, housing unit and propeller shafts. The 512 Boxer transmission was designed for skinny width tires. The result in the Testarossa was a ticking time bomb inside the differential housing that cracked and sent gears to an immediate grind, resulting in instant rear wheel lockup while driving. Ferrari's solution for the repair was for the owner replace the entire transmission with the newer and improved 512tr transmission,(compatible bolt on and go part) which was completely redesigned to handle the new torque and wider tire characteristics of a more powerful 1990's Boxer evolution, including the 512m. All 80's Testarossa's that have not had this replacement, will suffer dreaded differential lockup in time.
Kind of funny that, during their final drive in the Testarossa, there can be briefly seen the Ferrari, a Porsche 944, and a BMW all in a row. If only my neighborhood had that going by just any Tuesday. The 80's in Miami must have been fun.
They need to do a prequel to Miami vice, set in the 70's early 80's.
Horrible idea lol
I have a battery operated remote controlled, Miami Vice ( with its box ), White Farrari Testarossa, toy car. ❤️
In Nash Bridges Don Johnson drives a Mustard Yellow Ford Mustang.
I can't drive but I love cars and I'm a demon driver on the funfair dodgems. 😁
That's a Dodge Challenger.
@@michaelausting9344 no it’s not a Mustang or Challenger, it’s a ‘71 Plymouth ‘Cuda in Curious Yellow” (Nash did drive a yellow Hellcat with the roof chopped off in the recent reboot)
Thank goodness someone knew the facts.
@@michaelausting9344 Close....it was a Plymouth Cuda'
Lest we not forget the white 82-83 Camaro he chased Tubbs in before they became brothers , wasn't even a Z28 just a plain Jane w some racing decals ( car couldnt catch a cold ) but Crockett made it cool .
God dammit I use to love watching this show. Kids today missed out. That launch they had was boss as well
Miami vice expetacular seriado oss
Missed one. The White Camaro in the pilot episode. Granted Crockett may have "borrowed" it but man what a classic scene.
The kit car Daytona was destroyed because Ferrari insisted the show use a real Ferrari. The cell phone wasn't real. Sonny initially used as his main gun a Bren Ten, chambered in 45 ACP. He later used a Smith & Wesson model 465, chambered in .45 ACP. Finally, he used an S&W 4506 chambered in .45 ACP.
The Bren Ten was chambered in 10mm Auto, not 45 ACP. The first Smith & Wesson he had was a model 645 the was chambered in 45 ACP.
@@midnightrun2010 I stand corrected, thank you.
@@midnightrun2010 The one on the show was a .45. In the plot it was a 10mm but 10mm blanks didnt yet exist and the gun was converted to .45.
I was going to say "where's the Camaro from the pilot?" but then I remembered he never owned that one. He just 'borrowed' it.
The Daytona was my favorite.
Crockett to Tubbs: sometimes you're no fun at all! I think that was the only time they stopped at a red light
There a Huge flea market in Ft Lauderdale, FL that has a sizable building of shops. In the center of the building there are several cars including the Testarossa. It's been a long time since I've been there. At the entrance of the building are line of super cars the guy that owns the flea market rotates. Nice
testarossa siempre lo ame
I had a friend in that unit when it was first organized. They drove leased Chrysler K cars.
What about the Berlinetta Camaro ep 1
Yup! They totally overlooked the white Camaro that Crockett drove when he first met Tubbs.
What about the berlinetta Camaro used in Episode 1 I wonder what became of it
The fisrt episode... The white camaro in the chase boat...
That white Camaro belonged to Crockett’s former partner Scott Wheeler, by then a DEA agent (and corrupted by Calderon)
@@craigkearns6425 yes...its correct
I think the trunk of a Ferrari Testarossa fits one less bag of potatoes than the trunk of a Daytona Spyder 😂
I had a car phone.... It was so cool. God I miss those days.
The original car, Daytona is a "Corrari". Enzo did not approve, so he gave the show real Testarossa and demanded the show to blow up the imitation. Of course, I loved the Corrari much better than the Testarossa.
Eddie Kaye face always reminds me Manny from Scarface
The Black Daytona was my favorite car of the two.
The show seemed to have changed once the white Testarossa was introduced. It was never the same after.
The fake Daytona still looked the best, IMO
The best the testarrosa
Does anyone know the name of the song playing in the background at 4:34?
Funny how a cop could live a high roller life for years while putting king pins away and still go unnoticed 😂
Yeah even in a city like Miami the bad guys would have caught on a long time ago in real life.
1M of my shows🔥
1:57 the manual Ferrari V-12 sounds very much like an automatic Chevy V8.
So, the Testarossa had a similar problem to the original Miura. In the Miura when you pegged the brakes, the fuel in the carbs would slosh forward and starve the engine.
You can see GENUINE Daytona in the pilot, just for a few seconds. Scene with Don Johnson and Mykelti Williamson before "Somebody's watching me".
Ferrari Daytona 🤩
you guys can tell me the name of the song in the background?
He had to give up the Daytona because it was shot in Miami. 😜
Now, you did miss one; the white Trans Am or whatever it was, in the chase scene where he met Tubbs.
Camaro
@@EagleTwo758 Thanks! I was sorta close... 😁
Never understood the long hair on Crockett in season 4 and 5. It was also lighter and didn't suit him at all. Well... that was the eighties and I guess it was mandatory LOL.
3:01 ,,Don't scratch it,, - Boom! )))
there is a white Camaro missing. Crocketts own car.
What upbeat music is this?
There was also a another black Ferrari that was driven by Crockett (not the Daytona) - but I don't remember the name of the episode...
What the Sound in the Daytona Scenes ?
Oh, my God, that's Bill Paxton... and wait, @8:13 Spinal Tap's agent Ian Faith?
3:55 the guy that shot a missile into the Car also played the Lead in the Film The Lawnmower Man
What’s the song at 5:28?
The tail lights changed on that countach during the chase with the Daytona
I lived in Miami in the 80s I was downtown, at the time of shooting a scene, I saw Don Johnson. from a distance, He was standing near the court house.
Na verdade a Ferrari Daytona era um Corvete. No mais, obrigado pelo vídeo.
0:42 the best part about that scene was the engine sound and music. Without it it ain’t half as good
the testarossa (the two) were delivered in black
you can see her in the episode with Liam Neeson
then painted white... the most beautiful car in the world :))
