I also remember reading an article about the Pantera stunt car, but as far as what happen to it after the show ended-I don't know. Probably sitting out back in the studio's lot or chopped up and used in another show/movie.

I wonder what happened to the stunt TR in the show. I know that 2 real 1996 TR were used & stunt Pantara remade into a TR. I have somewhere the Popular Mechanics with the schematics of the car. Does anyone remember it?

Didn't Ted Nugent played a wife beating coke dealer that kills and buried all the coke buyers in a gravel pit?

The bad guy was giving Crocket a demo of a shoulder launch rocket during a gun deal and used the Daytona as target practice. I can't recall who played the bad guy.

sorry for not answering it completly:(

I grew up watching Maimi Vice because Crocket drove a Daytona (my favorite Ferrari).If I remember correctly he had one heck of Ferrari mechanic that serviced his Daytona.

Adam,

I believe that is incorrect. Espidrills (sp?) are a type of shoe.
:)
Here's another hint:
It starts with the letter "C".

Espidrils (SP)....Sorry Grew up on the show, and have TVLand with TiVO...So I am a little addicted.

A bit from me....Who played the Character who ended the life of the fake Daytona Spyder.... and bonus...how did they do it?

Ok - last Miami Vice trivia question (at least from me).

What *probable* brand of white shoes did Crocket wear in the 80's?

Hint: The brand was pretty stylish back then.

"Everybody" knows his name was Elvis. But who knows what kind of gun Crocket used? Yeah, very trivial...

OK Mitchel -

The alligator's name was Elvis.

OK, I've got another Miami Vice trivia question!!

What was Crocketts pets name? Yes, his alligator!

A gift certificate for an F50GT to the first correct answer. Yeah right!

Here's a trivia question for you. What brand of cigarettes

After that whole replica daytona convertible thing, Ferrari decided it would be wise to supply them with the real thing. Two white Testarossas were used for the filming. I think they were earlier models with the one mirror, not sure though. I was always disappointed watching that, not nearly enough Ferrari in it.

In fact the Miami Vice TR was originally black but was repainted flat white because the black had too much glare for the cameras.

I always wondered what happened to that car! If I remember correctly they gave away a bunch of keys in a some sort of contest or drawing and if your key started it it was yours? I thought originally it was one by a woman? That was back in 87-88 I think so it should have been just a TR I thought the 512 TR was a least after 1990?

Frank,

Is that a normal TR or a 512TR?

Every now and then the white TR Sonny Crocket drove on Miami Vice shows up for sale in the Ferrari Market Letter.

Hey Howie! How are you my friend? I have seen one white over white 512 TR many years ago. I have seen one white over white Mondial Cab (see Peter Sweeneys site), and one white over white 308. They were all custom ordered from the factory. I think you will have more luck finding one of the VERY few white over tan or white over crema 512TRS that were made. Heck, even white series 1 TRS are hard to locate.

I was driving my 308 this past weekend, and was passed by a white over tan 328 GTS on the highway. I must admit, it looked really nice! Hope you have a great holiday Howie, talk to you later.

Have any of you seen or heard of a white on white color combination on a 512TR?
