Why This Car Is Special

In the 1980s, a popular crime drama featured two sharply dressed men as undercover detectives working the drug-ridden streets of Miami. They patrolled the streets in a 1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spyder, but it really wasn't a Ferrari.

It was a replica built just for the TV show on a Corvette chassis.

Ours is the #55 replica built by Rowley Corvette on a Corvette C3 chassis and finished in 1993, just like the 1978 Chevrolet Corvette “Miami Vice Ferrari” Replica that we have here for sale at Skyway Classics.
