The Replica Ferrari Modena GT Spyder California From Ferris Bueller's Day Off Is Going to Auction (Updated)
The Replica Ferrari Modena GT Spyder California From Ferris Bueller's Day Off Is Going to Auction (Updated)-January 2024

Heads up, eighties film fans: the car from one of the most iconic movies of the decade is going up for auction, and you could be the next lucky owner. That’s right. The not-really-a-Ferrari GT California from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off can be your love and your passion, too.

If you happen to find yourself at the Monterey auction on August 23-25, the ‘85 Modena is going up for sale. You can check out the listing on . Yes, this is most definitely 100 percent one of the cars used in the film. There were only three of these featured in Ferris Bueller, one of which doesn’t run. This, my friends, is one that does.

But as everyone knows, it’s not a real Ferrari: describes it as a tubeframe job wearing a fiberglass shell with a Ford small-block V8 under the hood. That’s why it’s listed as a 1985 Modena GT Spyder California and not, you know, a 1961.

Even if it’s not real, it looks and sounds beautiful. If you want to see it in action yourself, on YouTube went over to check it out in person, and it’s a damn interesting video. Live vicariously through the video’s host as you dip under the hood and go for a spin.

As they mention, you’re not only getting a beautiful car with a mere 1520 miles on it and a place in the Smithsonian Historical Vehicle Association Hall of Fame, but it’s coming loaded with movie memorabilia, too. The car is estimated to sell for $250,000-300,000. Forget that house you were looking at; this is way more important.

If you do head out to the auction and bring this bad boy home, just make sure you lock up your garage when you get back.

As several of you pointed out, our gasoline-addled brains failed to mention that the movie car is not in fact a real Ferrari, but famously a replica. But it’s still neat and fun, so we hope it goes to a good home.

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...
