This is the real Ferrari Daytona loaned to the production and seen 20 minutes into the pilot for a few seconds. No evidence if a factory convertible or a later conversion, though there's no question about it being a Ferrari. Allegedly, subsequently suffered some damage and was withdrawn by the owner as already stated on imcdb (not yet a million dollar car back then but still expensive..). The replica's first appearance occurred later in this episode and from then on was the only "Daytona" used by Crockett until its "destruction" in the 3rd season.
1971 chosen as first year of pop-up lights.

Well, there's some news about this car. It was for sale back in June of this year as chassis [15297], a US-spec original factory Spyder.
Link to "www.kidston.com"

"Chassis 15297 is number 46 of the 121 ‘Daytona Spyders’ built. It left the factory as a US-specification car in November 1972 and arrived at William Harrah’s MCM Modern Classic Motors in Reno, Nevada, the following month.... Grigio Ferro 106-E-8 (iron grey) with Connolly Vaumol Rosso VM 3171 leather interior.... was repainted black with tan/black seats, in which form it was to appear in the very first episode of the hard-hitting 1980s TV series about the Florida underworld, Miami Vice.... In the 1984 pilot, Brother's Keeper, ‘15297’ makes an appearance 22 minutes in, parked outside a café and clearly recognisable as a genuine car. For the rest of the action and in-car scenes the well-known Corvette-based replicas by Tom McBurnie are used.... total restoration by Italy’s leading craftsmen to return it to its original colour combination and convert it to European, rather than North American, specification...." etc etc
