One of Miami's most iconic vehicles ever is up for sale: the all-white 1986 Ferrari Testarossa made famous on the hit TV show Miami Vice.
The vehicle, which was driven by TV cops "Sonny" Crockett and Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs in the 1980s show, is available for purchase on eBay through Jan. 7 and is being offered for $1.75 million by a south Florida pawn and auto loan company.
The vehicle was acquired in 2012 from the person who purchased it from the series producer, a department of Universal Studios, in 1991, according to Peter Lima, the owner of Auto Pawn Plus.
"This has been in a garage, hidden for almost 30 years," he said, according to Reuters.
Ferrai has not commented about the vehicle being posted on eBay yet.
The 1986 Testarossa has achieved 16,000 miles so far and has a built-in Motorola phone that was actually used during filming of the show, Lima added.
Producers used a number of different vehicles during the show's run on NBC for five seasons on 1984 to 1989. Among the cars used for the show was a replica Ferrari for flashy shots of the duo driving down Miami's palm tree-lined streets.
When Ferrari founder Enzo Ferrari eventually found out the show was using a replica he demanded that the studio use authentic cars, according to Lima.
Producers then purchased two black 12-cylinder Testarossas that were later painted white. A south Florida collector currently has the other vehicle on display in a flea market.
If no buyer emerges for the vehicle then it will be sent to a high-end auction.
"No big deal," Lima said if it doesn't sell by Jan. 7. "It will sell for more."
The show "Miami Vice" broke new grounds through its use of new wave culture and music. It featured actors Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas in the lead roles.
