    Fake Ferrari from cult classic flick Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is more expensive than a real new one!

    The replica was used (and abused!) in the 1986 comedy starring Matthew Broderick

    A fake Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder - used in classic comedy flick Ferris Bueller's Day Off - has gone under the hammer and sold for more than the price of a new Italian supercar! Image Credit: Barrett-Jackson

    The car - one of three replicas built for the 1986 cult classic starring Matthew Broderick – got plenty of interest when it went on the block at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. It went for an impressive $396,000 – but a brand new Ferrari 812 Superfast V12 flagship costs less than that! Image Credit: Paramount Pictures

    With Ferrari making just over 100 of the cars an original was difficult to get hold of – and considering what happens at the end of the movie to the car (fans will know exactly what we’re talking about!), it’s a good thing the producers had to make do with a replica!

    Unlike an actual Ferrari 250 GT which has a V12, this one is powered by a Ford V8 paired to a five-speed manual transmission. Serial number GTC001 was built by Modena Design & Development and was one of three used for filming. Only a few months prior to this auction, the car underwent a body-off restoration.

    The car received a few upgrades during the restoration such as carbon fiber inner-tubes for weight reduction. The 16-inch wire wheels, wrapped in BF Goodrich tires, were custom-built. Image Credit: Barrett-Jackson

    And what iconic movie car wouldn't come with some memorabilia, such as build photos, a 1/24-scale die-cast model, a Hot Wheels version, and a certificate of authenticity from the build company. Image Credit: Paramount Pictures

    This actually isn't the first time this famous Ferris Bueller Ferrari crossed the auction block, having previously done so in August 2018 when it sold for $407,000. Despite not being a real Ferrari, it has Hollywood icon status and that clearly counts for a lot. Image Credit: Barrett-Jackson
