Even in 1986, one didn't simply drive around Chicago in a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California to make a movie. That holds true for picking up your girlfriend at the high school, jumping it on a janky side street, and it's especially true when kicking it out of an elevated garage, sending it crashing to the ground.
Of course, we're talking about the Ferrari from the classic John Hughes film Ferris Bueller's Day Off, which wasn't a Ferrari at all. That didn't stop the replica featured here from bringing Ferrari money at a recent auction – $313,000 to be exact, including all fees. It was recently hammered home by Bonhams at the Amelia Island Auction in Florida, listed by the auction house as one of four built for the movie by California-based company Modena Design & Development. A letter from Paramount Picture Cars states the authenticity of the vehicle, though it's believed this one was originally a static-use promotional car without an engine.
