MIAMI VICE TESTAROSSA RECENTLY FOUND

I can't find the auction results. Did the car sell in August? If so, for how much?

 

I heard 750k, but that's just what I heard.

 

No sale - Bidding stopped at 475k. Listed on mecum's site as "the bid goes on"

 

Guess what's back!

"Has received an engine-out service at a cost of $8,000." I've never heard of a TR engine out service at that price unless they did it themselves.

What is the auction date/time?

 

IIRC, that is actually about right with a '*'. If, if, if nothing else is wrong or no other preventative MX is done IE water pump, spark plug wires etc.......thats in the ballpark. Ive budgeted 14K for my next major including a one piece Diff and some 'Oh by the way'.

 

What day/time? is the MV car auctioned?

 

Any is it agreed here that this actually IS a MV car?

 

Sorry, I meant "AND is it agreed....."

 

Just sayin' my belt svc at the ferrari dealer was 7700, just belts and tensioners were replaced though.

No its not agreed. I am active in the movie prop collecting world. The single most important piece to prove provenance is a certificate of authenticity from the Studios. All the ancillary documents that come with this car do not add up to a COA.

The hero car is in FL owned my another gent and on display. This could have been a promotional car (my guess).

 

Just a thought.. If this car was the second car, the camera car, used for just interior close ups, but not the complete intact car used on screen, in your opinion, would it carry the same value? As the only part ever shown on tv would be close ups of the actors.
Thanks

 

1994? Please don't call the number. Or call the number and get to the bottom of this.

As a general rule, no. The hero car would carry the highest value with regards as a collectible. The background, camera would carry some premium over a stock non movie used TR. With that said, only the collector will set the value.

 

Thats Michael Mann's production company. It would be interesting to see if this car shared the same VIN.

 

Thanks for taking the time to answer this..and your other replies...

The listing still does not mention a COA from Universal certifying that vin XXX was used in the filming of the TV show Miami Vice. It lists a title from Universal Studios.

Think of it this way. You have a Stormtrooper suit of armor from Star Wars. If it was film used, and comes with a COA from Lucasfilm, it would be worth half a million dollars easy. If it was one of the suits Han Solo or Luke Skywalker wore, double the value. Now say you have a Stormtrooper suit that came out of the same Propmasters shop in 1976 but was used for promotional work or commercials, it would be worth a few grand.

It all comes down to a COA or clear chain of custody from known sources. This could be the camera car for all we know, its just missing the biggest piece of provenience.

 

This car should be crossing the stage within the next few hours

 

The owner must've pulled the 'Vice TR from the auction! It never came across the stage

 

I'm sorry, I was thinking it was lot 1406....it is actually 1426. So maybe they will show it yet.

 

$138K it sold for I believe

 

Perhaps Crockett & Tubbs came and got "their" car, to go chase some drug dealer's! Yikes!!
