Dubbed the "most famous Ferrari known to exist" by Mecum Auctions, the white "Miami Vice" Testarossa will hit the auction block August 13-15 in Monterey, California.
The amazingly entertaining history behind the car includes details about the Testarossa, which was repainted white, and its life after the hit '80s show.
With just over 16,000 miles on the clock and a recent $8,000 engine-out service, a piece of American television history can be yours (probably for a lot of money).
The 1986, single-mirror special Testarossa was one of two cars delivered to Universal Studios in a deal to rid the TV show of its Corvette-turned-Ferrari-Daytona they used for the first two seasons. Also part of the deal: Kill the Daytona on screen with a Hellfire missile. Awesome.
Since 1990, the car has been in storage, according to the auction house. Its low mileage and history could be attractive for any buyer looking for a car to complement their pastel suit collection. The car's history has been verified by Ferrari and comes with complete service history.
Last year, a 1989 Testarossa with 95 miles sold at auction for $242,000. In May, David Hasselhoff's "Knight Rider" car, KITT, was sold for $150,000. It's unclear where the Ferrari 328 used in an episode of "Alf" is today.
