Who could forget that famous scene from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off when Cameron throws a fit and accidentally kicks his father’s Ferrari out the glass garage and into the woods.  Well, now you can own Cam’s home for a cool $1.65 million, because it recently hit the market!  The Highland Park, Illinois home is located at 370 Beech Street on a one acre lot with 43,560 square feet.  The house, designed by famous architects A. James Speyer and David Haid and built in 1953, contains 5,300 square feet of living space including 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, and floor-to-ceiling windows.  Interested?  Here’s the actual listing.  And don’t worry–the garage has been fixed up since the 1986 mishap.  You know what’d be really cool?  If the same person who won the auctioned Ferrari 250GT Spyder California used in the movie also purchased the home.  Check out shots of the interior after the break.

Ferris Bueller’s Ferrari up for auction

Cars, News, , , ,

So remember in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off when Cam accidently pushed the car out his father’s enclosed glass garage and destroyed it?  Well, that didn’t really happen.  See (above)?  It’s fine.  It was all movie magic.  On April 19 the same Ferrari 250GT Spyder California will go up for auction at Bonhams Collectors’ Motor Cars and Automobilia.  Besides being an awesome collectors item from a classic American film, what also makes this car special is that “only around one hundred genuine 250GT Spyder California’s were created by Ferrari between 1958 and 1963.”  It’s rare.  So rare in fact that director John Hughes and Paramount had to commission this special replica model.  In other words, the buyer won’t be getting one of the original 250GT Spyder California’s…but it’s looks just like it and it was used in the movie!  The car is “ready to drive” and estimated to go for £30,000-£40,000 (or about $46,000-$61,400).  Happy bidding.
