Ferris Bueller Ferrari Up For Auction
Huffingtonpost.com - According to Bonhams, the fine-art auction house, the car will go on sale on April 19th at the RAF museum in Hendon, England. Of course, it's an auction, so who knows how cheap you could actually get it, but the auctioneers are estimating between £30,000 and £40,000, or between $45,000 and $60,000. The only catch: you don't actually get a Ferrari. Because, as Cameron points out, "less than 100 were made," the film-makers couldn't exactly afford to splurge on one, only to send it careening into the woods at the end of the movie. So they made a replica. It does actually drive, though. And you won't have to worry about taking the miles off in reverse.
I'm a sucker for classic cars and this is basically the Holy Grail. But all this replica bullshit is real weak. Who the hell wants to pay $45,000 for a replica Ferrari that was dropped 3 stories into the woods? I think the Ferris Bueller people should just take advantage of the cash for clunkers deal and trade this bad boy in for a nice reliable Ford Focus.
