The Ferrari in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is presented as a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder, but the production did not use one car for every shot. Most driving and stunt work used three Modena replicas; a real California Spyder was reportedly rented for close-up inserts. The car launched through the garage window was a non-running shell, not a working Ferrari.
The Ferrari in the film: real car and replicas
The genuine car behind Cameron’s Ferrari is the rare Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder. The Henry Ford describes original 250 GT street cars as highly desirable collectors’ cars that sell for millions at auction. That expense and rarity help explain why replicas were used for risky scenes. The film’s dialogue says “less than 100,” but that is a line in the story, not a verified production total for a particular California Spyder variant. The Henry Ford provides context on the car and the production.
Accounts differ on whether any real Ferrari appeared on screen: Revs Institute says no actual Ferrari was used, while Car and Driver reports that a real California Spider was separately rented for close-ups, and The Henry Ford describes real-car inserts alongside replicas. The best-supported distinction is that the authentic car was used for close-up inserts, while replicas handled most wide, driving, and stunt shots. Car and Driver and The Henry Ford discuss the production cars.
What each Modena replica did
John Hughes commissioned three replicas from Modena Design & Development, founded by Neil Glassmoyer and Mark Goyette. They were not identical working Ferraris: the production used different cars for wide shots, scenes with actors inside, and the garage-window stunt.

| Production role | Car used | What the sources report |
|---|---|---|
| Wide shots | Completed leased replica | The National Historic Vehicle Register identifies this as the completed car leased for wide shots. |
| Shots with actors inside | Partially completed replica | The register says this car was sold to the studio and used for shots with actors inside. |
| Garage-window launch | Non-running shell | The Henry Ford and the register describe a shell intended for the launch; it was not a running Ferrari. |
The register-listed surviving replica is a 1985 fiberglass-bodied Modena Spyder California, VIN CA395186. Its entry lists a Ford 302-cubic-inch V8; The Henry Ford documents a Ford three-speed automatic transmission, rather than the Ferrari’s original four-speed manual. These are replica specifications, not specifications for a genuine Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder. The National Historic Vehicle Register and The Henry Ford document the car.
What happened to the surviving screen car?
The register-listed Modena was returned to its builder after filming. A jump scene damaged it; Modena repaired the car and sold it to its first private owner. It had reached a UK owner by 2003. Bob Winegard bought it at Bonhams’ RAF Museum Hendon auction on April 19, 2010, brought it back to the United States, and arranged for it to be restored to its movie appearance. The National Historic Vehicle Register records this history.
