Matthew Broderick and Alan Ruck weren’t the only stars to appear in the classic 1986 film “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” A shiny, red Ferrari lookalike all but stole the show when the pair skipped school and took a joyride in the infamous car.
And now it could be yours for a cool $300,000. But don't expect it to stay that low.
The bright red, sports car, a 1963 Modena GT Spyder California, is set for auction Thursday at Mecum Auctions in Monterey, California. Its estimated value, per the event’s website starts at the modest six-figure number.
