Hughes discovered Modena Design, a company founded in s California, that was seeking to produce replicas of the fabled car essentially a drop-top version of the GT "Tour de France," one of which we drove.
Three cars were commissioned for the movie, each in various states of completion. Today, that car is listed with the National Historic Vehicle Registry. But the car that sold at Barrett-Jackson isn't that car. Instead, this is one of the two chassis that led more mysterious lives after Ferris Bueller wrapped production.
Two were built completely, and the third was essentially just a shell used for the scene in which the car gets destroyed. One was even built specifically with an automatic transmission because actor Matthew Broderick did not know how to drive a car with a manual transmission. Today, the three cars used in the film are still as legendary as ever. The car used in the destruction scene was revamped and restored following the production of the movie and has been sold many times since , according to MSN.
