Fans of the cult TV show Miami Vice can now have a slice of history from the 80's hit show for keeps - the 1986 Ferrari Testarossa. However, before you get all dreamy and excited thinking of riding the car driven by James "Sonny" Crockett - it will set you back by $1.75 million!
In case that number does not deter you and you're wondering how to snag the deal, check out eBay. That's right! eBay seller dlima93 has the white 1986 Ferrari Testarossa listed in the site for $1.75 million.
In case you're worried about the authenticity, the seller will also provide authentic documentation from Ferrari itself. The documents also include the original Time magazine, which documents Miami Vice.
Per the eBay listing, the 1986 Ferrari Testarossa up for sale was one of the two genuine Ferraris that was deployed in the TV show in the third, fourth and fifth season filming.
"When the MIAMI VICE show first aired a Daytona Ferrari replica was used, when Mr. Enzo Ferrari watched the show and witnessed the Fake Daytona he was outraged that a replica car was carrying his Ferrari name, automatically a law suit against Universal Studios was started," reads the product details section on eBay.
After a few shows, the deal of destroying the original replica was struck between the company and the studio. It would be replaced by two new Testarossa's, which would take over the mantle.
The seller also reveals that initially, both the cars used were Carbon black. However, since the camera used three decades ago wasn't very well equipped to handle the night shots and speeds of the vehicles, the director Michael Mann chose to get both cars painted white.
The mileage on the Ferrari is 16,000 miles and also has the built-in Motorola phone that was used in the TV show. It also houses a 4.9-liter 12-cylinder engine. In its prime, this was able to produce up to 390 horsepower.
The seller also owns the Miami Vice's directors' personal 1986 Ferrari Testarossa, which is blue with cream in color.
Those interested in purchasing the car from eBay will have to deploy the "Buy It Now" options. A pre-payment of $500 is required. To check the listing click here.
