Information

'Black Panther' police car used by Italian police officer Armando Spatafora.
1 of 2 250 GTE 2+2 Series II police cars donated to the Rome police by Enzo Ferrari, first one - chassis 3363GT had been in service for less than a week before it was involved in a fatal accident during practice run and returned to the factory, and the second one remained in service until 1968.
It was damaged during a chase, and later it was used to make emergency high-speed blood deliveries to Naples after it retired from police duty - rumored to cover the 200 km (124 miles) route in under an hour.
Used in the 1968 movie "Roma come Chicago" (Banditi a Roma).
Ferrari Classiche certified.
Still has the original paint.
Allowed the to drive in its original police livery with sirens and blue lights in full use - currently the only private car in Italy to hold such a special exception.

Modifications

Equipped with a roof-mounted blue light, two-way radio and siren.
