I suppose the car got crushed after the program ended. It would be a big collector's item now.

Actually, it didn't get crushed. I have an old magazine article somewhere about the car and where it went following production of the TV series. I tried to contact the then-owner about 10-11 years ago without success. I need to see if I can find it.

It's kind of funny that Ferrari objected to a Corvette-based replica but was OK with a Pantera-based replica.

Well, the Pantera-based replica wasn't the star of the show; it was merely a stand-in for the delicate Ferrari beauty queens when it came time for the stunt work. I'm sure Ferrari didn't mind if an old Pantera was beat up, abused, and possibly wrecked during filming in order to save one of their real Ferrari star cars. The Daytona replica on the other hand was the star of the show, which is I'm sure what Ferrari objected to.
