Ferrari 250 GT California Spiders
This car has a few things going for it that makes it extremely valuable. For starters, it’s one of only eight built with an aluminum body. It also finished third place in its class and fifth place overall at Le Mans in 1959 which was won by Carroll Shelby. Its rarity combined with its pristine condition and racing heritage was a formula for big bucks on the auction block.
Another thing that could possibly have contributed to the value of the Ferrari is that it’s from the same series as the car in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Cameron’s dad’s Ferrari was a red, non-aluminum 1961 250 GT SWB California Spider. The car that was actually driven by Ferris and the shady valet guy and was ultimately destroyed (spoilers) was a replica, but they did bring in a real one for tight shots that required a more convincing Ferrari.
