"Ferris Bueller" Ferrari Set for Auction
(WBBM) You have a chance to own an iconic piece of Chicago film history, if you have at least $45,000 to spare. Ferris Bueller's Ferrari is going up for auction in London on April 19, reports CBS station WBBM in Chicago.Hmmm. Only $45K??? Let me see what we have in the G. college fund... (Just kidding dear). I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that's kinda low on the movie car auction totem pole - I know that one of the Batmobiles went for over a half-million dollars.
Bonhams Collectors' Motor Cars and Automobilia Auction estimates that it will go for £30,000-40,000, or roughly $45,000-67,000. The car works and is ready to drive. But there is one catch - it's not a real Ferrari.
If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.
That is all.

Even compared to the price of a real 250GT Spyder California SWB that's a real bargain! The last real one for sale went for almost $11 million.
Oh, and because this is as good a place as any to mention it: Real-Life Ferris Bueller Grew Up to Be Obama-Investigated Bush Crony
That was James Coburns 250 GT...This one has a Ford 289 and is probably a little rough around the edges up close. Bonhams runs an auction every year in Sept at the Boston MOT and the cars are always a little disapointing.
Here's the details http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/pubweb/publicSite.r?sContinent=EUR&screen=lotdetailsNoFlash&iSaleItemNo=4599590&iSaleNo=18210&iSaleSectionNo=2
The movie vehicles I want are the Tiger Is (nee T-34s) from Kelly's Heroes. I'd park one on one of the hills overlooking Dulles Airport and see how long it takes for Homeland Security (stop giggling!) to show up.
