The prank was a success: a clone of the Ferrari 250 was sold at the price of a real supercar
This car was created specifically for the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off and is exactly the same as the original 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider.

And although the retro car is not real, at the Bonhams auction they were able to get $ 313,000 for it. Approximately so much is the original sports car Ferrari 296. And what is the reason for such a price?

And everything is simple: a fake Ferrari is a movie hero car that "starred" in the cult teen comedy Ferris Bueller's Day Off. This is one of four copies made for the film. And one was broken, because according to the plot, the car fell off a cliff.

Due to the fact that the copy is made very carefully, it is difficult to recognize a fake. Moreover, this can be done only after a detailed study. Especially the part that is under the hood.
The thing is that the convertible is built on the basis of the Ford Mustang and is equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 with 165 hp. With. As for the Ferrari clone, it is equipped with an automatic transmission, but a fake manual transmission lever is installed in the cabin.

A real Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider is much more expensive - one such car was recently sold for $ 18 million.
