1986 Ferrari Testarossa
The real-life Ferrari Testarossa was originally owned by Sonny Crockett, the main character in the TV show Miami Vice. It went on auction at Barrett Jackson’s. Did you know that the Testarossa family became involved in a lawsuit? Ferrari sued the show for using a Daytona Ferrari based on a Corvette, and the feud was revolved by the creators agreeing to blow up one Daytona on the show if they were given two Testarossas. After Ferrari agreed, a Maranello factory dropped off the cars. The vehicles were in black, but the directors had them repainted in white to make them easier to see when they had to film in the nighttime. Made in 1986, the vehicle is worth an incredible $1.75 million.

The Beverly Hillbillies Truck
Did you know that the Beverly Hillbillies Truck used to take up a lot of its own at the Ralph Foster Museum? The truck was a 1921 Oldsmobile M46 Roadster that was later modified for The Beverly Hillbillies. Paul Henning, the producer of the show, later gifted it to the Ralph Foster Museum. He donated it to this museum since he grew up near there. The truck was later transferred to the auto auction of Barrett-Jackson and fetched $275k. This custom-made truck became a big part of the show thanks to its custom, chop-shop look. The 1993 creation was actually a best-seller at Barrett-Jackson!
