Life moves pretty fast — but this car does not.
An iconic prop Ferrari from the cult classic movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” sold for a cool $337,500 on Saturday — even though it doesn’t actually drive.
The replica Ferrari 250 GT California was used in the scene where Cameron Frye (played by Alan Ruck) accidentally causes his dad’s prized ride to crash through the garage window to the woods below.
Since a genuine California Spyder Ferrari is one of the most sought-after classic cars, selling for over $15 million, producers chose to have Modena Design & Development make three highly detailed copies for the 1986 flick.
“This ‘crash car’ was built and used solely for this memorable sequence as it hurled backwards through the glass of Cameron’s father’s garage falling to the ground below,” Dallas-based Heritage Auctions explained on its site.

The prop car has all the Ferrari finishes — it was rebuilt as a display piece after production ended.
Constructed with a fiberglass body bolted to a rolling chassis, the faux-rari was completed with tan vinyl seats; a matte black fiberglass dashboard with instrumentation; a wood-trimmed steering wheel; and, of course, the famous Prancing Horse logo.
“This ‘car’ is a prop and not a functioning automobile. There is no engine or drivetrain present,” Heritage Auctions confirmed.
The car driven in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” sold at a 2020 auction for $396,000, while the iconic patterned sweater vest worn by Matthew Broderick in the film sold Saturday for $143,750.
