Trivia
In what seems to be the worst continuity error ever. Crockett is seen driving his Ferrari Daytona Spyder in "El Viejo" episode 7 of season 3. Despite the Daytona Spyder being blow up in "When Irish Eyes Are Crying" episode 1 of season 3. The reason for this is "El Viejo" was the original premiere episode of the season 3. But the producer felt "When Irish Eyes Are Crying" made for a better opening for season 3. Ironically, the reason for this switch is because they thought the Daytona being blown to bits would be better suited for the season premiere.
During stunts where the real Ferrari Testarossa could be badly damaged, a stunt car would be used. The stunt car was a De Tomaso Pantera with a Testarossa body kit.
