In the film, Ferris convinces Cameron to borrow his father's rare 1961 [[Ferrari 250|Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder]]. "The [[Insert (filmmaking)|insert shots]] of the Ferrari were of the real 250 GT California," Hughes explains in the DVD commentary. "The cars we used in the wide shots were obviously reproductions. There were only 100 of these cars, so it was way too expensive to destroy. We had a number of replicas made. They were pretty good, but for the tight shots I needed a real one, so we brought one in to the stage and shot the inserts with it."<ref name="DVDCommShoot" />

Prior to filming, Hughes learned about Modena Design and Development that produced the Modena Spyder California, a replica of the Ferrari 250 GT.<ref name='ferris-glassmoyer'>{{cite news |title=Ferrari California replica from Ferris Bueller is so choice |date=June 29, 2013 |first=Seyth |last=Miersma |url=http://www.autoblog.com/2013/06/29/ferrari-california-replica-from-ferris-bueller-is-so-choice/ |work=Auto Blog |access-date=2017-07-21 |archive-date=April 7, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407084432/http://www.autoblog.com/2013/06/29/ferrari-california-replica-from-ferris-bueller-is-so-choice/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Hughes saw a mention of the company in a car magazine and decided to research them. Neil Glassmoyer recalls the day Hughes contacted him to ask about seeing the Modena Spyder:

{{blockquote|The first time he called I hung up on him because I thought it was a friend of mine who was given to practical jokes. Then he called back and convinced me it really was him, so Mark and I took the car to his office. While we were waiting outside to meet Hughes this scruffy-looking fellow came out of the building and began looking the car over; we thought from his appearance he must have been a janitor or something. Then he looked up at a window and shouted, 'This is it!' and several heads poked out to have a look. That scruffy-looking fellow was [[John Hughes (filmmaker)|John Hughes]], and the people in the window were his staff. Turned out it was between the Modena Spyder and a Porsche Turbo, and Hughes chose the Modena.<ref name='ferris-glassmoyer' />}}

Automobile restorationist Mark Goyette designed the kits for three reproductions used in the film and chronicled the whereabouts of the cars today:<ref name='ferris-goyette'>{{cite news |first=David Traver |last=Adolphus |title=Save these Cars – Hollywood, California: Part II |date=December 1, 2009 |url=http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2009/12/01/save-these-cars-hollywood-california-part-ii/ |work=Hemmings Auto blog |access-date=2017-07-21 |archive-date=March 3, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303174122/http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2009/12/01/save-these-cars-hollywood-california-part-ii/ |url-status=usurped }}</ref>
# "Built by Goyette and leased to Paramount for the filming. It's the one that jumps over the camera, and is used in almost every shot. At the end of filming, Paramount returned it to Goyette, with the exhaust crushed and cracks in the body. "There was quite a bit of superficial damage, but it held up amazingly well,"  he said. He rebuilt it, and sold it to a young couple in California. The husband later ran it off the road, and Goyette rebuilt the front end for him. That owner sold it in the mid-90s, and it turned up again around 2000, but hasn't emerged since."<ref name='ferris-goyette' />
# "Sold to Paramount as a kit for them to assemble as their stunt car, they did such a poor job that it was basically unusable, aside from going backwards out the window of Cameron's house. Rebuilt, it ended up at [[Planet Hollywood]] in [[Minneapolis]] and was moved to [[Planet Hollywood]] in [[Cancun]] when this one was closed."<ref name='ferris-goyette' />
# "Another kit, supposed to be built as a shell for the out the window scene, it was never completed at all, and disappeared after the film was completed. Goyette thinks he once heard it was eventually completed and sold off, but it could also still be in a back lot at Paramount."<ref name='ferris-goyette' />

The "replicar" was "universally hated by the crew," said Ruck. "It didn't work right." The scene in which Ferris turns off the car to leave it with the garage attendant had to be shot a dozen times because it would not start.<ref name="bratpackbook" /> The car was built with a real wheel base, but used a [[Ford V8 engine]] instead of a V12.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://uncrate.com/stuff/ferris-buellers-day-off-ferrari/ |title=Ferris Bueller's Day Off Ferrari |publisher=Uncrate |access-date=2014-07-19 |archive-date=April 13, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130413080703/http://uncrate.com/stuff/ferris-buellers-day-off-ferrari/ |url-status=live }}</ref> At the time of filming, the original 250 GT California model was worth $350,000.<ref name="bratpackbook" /> Since the release of the film, it has become one of the [[List of most expensive cars sold at auction|most expensive cars ever sold]], going at auction in 2008 for {{US$|10976000|2008|long=no}}<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cargurus.com/blog/2009/05/22/the-five-most-expensive-cars-ever-sold-at-auction |title=The Five Most Expensive Cars Ever Sold At Auction |author=tgriffith |publisher=The CarGurus Blog |date=2009-05-22 |access-date=2010-03-29 |archive-date=March 15, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100315045330/http://www.cargurus.com/blog/2009/05/22/the-five-most-expensive-cars-ever-sold-at-auction |url-status=live }}</ref> and more recently in 2015 for {{US$|16830000|2015|long=no}}.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blog.caranddriver.com/hammer-down-the-25-most-expensive-cars-at-the-2015-monterey-auctions/ |title=Hammer Down: The 25 Most Expensive Cars at the 2015 Monterey Auctions |first=Rusty |last=Blackwell |work=[[Car and Driver]] |date=2015-08-18 |access-date=2015-09-06 |archive-date=September 5, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905155102/http://blog.caranddriver.com/hammer-down-the-25-most-expensive-cars-at-the-2015-monterey-auctions/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The [[vanity plate]] of Cameron's dad's Ferrari spells NRVOUS and the other plates seen in the film are homages to Hughes's earlier works, VCTN (''National Lampoon's Vacation''), TBC (''The Breakfast Club''), MMOM (''Mr. Mom''), as well as 4FBDO (''Ferris Bueller's Day Off'').
