@@fuzzbuzz2000 No but they know what a generic british sportscar looks like, and they will most likely think the two look enough alike. I'm not saying this and an Austin-Healey 3000 are so similar that i would mix them up, but people mix up the Corvette C8 with Ferrari models, so nothing is impossible😂
Fun fact: Batista Pininfarina was born as Batista Farina, that was his family original name (like Dennis Farina) but he was the smallest from 11th children, so they called him "pinin" (little one). This nickname was so attached to him over the years that he official changed his surname from Farina to Pininfarina ;-)
Thank you SO much - for not using crappy music as a soundtrack. I've recently seen GMA T50 road-testing vids (another next-level V12 BTW) ruined by that. And - what a nice ride. I really miss my S1 Fulvia Coupe, which was in many respects on a similar level, aesthetically and even engine-noise-wise (to a point, this Colombo is stellar). You're a lucky man!

what a great example! I love the intro to the car. My grandmother was the real estate agent that sold "Cameron's parents house. It was very cool to be in the actual garage where the movie was made. My grandparents were friends of the owners and when they passed, my grandmother took care of the estate. Lots of memories as I grew up in the 80's and 90's. Thanks again for sharing this amazing car with us. All the best!
I grew up in Highland Park and loved taking my (at the time) 12-year old son to see the Cameron house. (I live north of Boston now, so I recognize all of your route's @TedwardDrives. Keep up the good work!)
I haven't seen that movie in 20 years, but didn't that kick up the price of these cars like millions after the movie years later, making them impossible to get, thus the outrageous price in buying one today?
The cars where always a collectable. The movie helped give it more public recognition, but the history and rarity of these cars are what establishes the value.
No power-steering but you can literally feel and see how easy and precise this car goes around corners. This is true art of engineering, unlike to modern cars who are full of electronics and computers and can't even drive without them. Thank's a lot for sharing your wonderful driving experience with all of us; it was a great pleasure to watch (and HEAR !!!) you driving this beauty.
Comparing it to something like the Countach which he had to shuffle the wheel could just tell it was tough. This looks like it just works how something should.
I CANT BELIEVE THIS!! thank you tedward, ive been searching all of youtube for a long time hoping to see a decent drive and sound recording of this car and they are just few and far between. a very important car to me. thank you so much for your work. ps. loved the end clip :D
You’ve had some very impressive cars on your show, but this is unbelievable! It might not cost $10,000,000 but it’s still incredibly expensive. I’d be nervous driving this....but I couldn’t resist the chance to floor it on a long open straightaway. Even if this car was ugly the sound alone would make it worth owning. It’s great that the steering is light at low speeds. The most impressive car I ever drove was a 1971 Ferrari 365gtb/4 “Daytona”, but until you got over 40 mph it was rather stiff, not bad enough to deter you, but it’s not a car for city driving. However, once you “open it up” the speed and sound was just as incredible as you’d hope.
Perfect placement of the video camera. Way too many driving vids have the POV of the passenger, or over the driver’s shoulder, or in some odd place. Here, it’s so close to putting you right where you’d be and what you’d be seeing if you were actually behind the wheel. A great vicarious experience!
The Veglia gauges are all so beautiful they look like custom jewelry. Compared to modern Ferraris, I think with all of the computers, turbos, I think they lost the plot. Thanks Ted.❤
oh, how I do agree with you on that .... but it's not Ferrari only, almost all manufacturers have lost the plot by now. Such beautiful interior or at least similar will never happen again ...
Very true. There's no beating analogue gauges. There does seem to be a common thread where owners will spend many thousands on bodywork and engine rebuilds, but the gauges and their related sensors are neglected. With a car that quick you don't have a lot of time to look at them anyway, i suppose..
I got to agree.even though a new F8 spider is stunning, I have come to love the vintage,late 50's tomod 80's up until the last analog Manual shift Ferrari,the F,355 spider.
That's with all cars nowadays, have you seen the newest supercars? They all have molded dashboards and carbon fiber designs, no analog anything, all digital or computer screens, so it's not like a cockpit anymore, the whole thing with the old styles was the connections with airplanes, the cockpits and controls where made to cross each other, and from the race cars to street car crossovers being more popular took over, now this smart car hybrid look everything being low profile is the trend, at least in some companies, very rare that anyone takes chances anymore
You younger folks have no idea how lucky you are to have videos like this. When I was growing up all we had were magazines. All we got was whatever pictures they decided to put in there….or stop and rewind Ferris Bueller all day (not even the real car obviously). To be able to watch first person driving videos like this is just too cool to explain.
People will comment that I’m driving cars cold when they have broken gauges. What they don’t think about is that a car doesn’t simply spawn in that parking lot. I drive it there and warm it up 😂
I could have just watched you drive this for hours. This is one of those cars that's not even on my bucket list because I have no realistic prospect of seeing one, let alone owning one, but my God is it beautiful
"This is my favorite thing". Yup, totally agree. I'd rather have that than a Mclaren F1. Such a joyous thing. That purring snarl... oh my... It's a toolroom copy ? That just makes it even better, because more usable! Wow wow wow ! ❤
Oh man that start up and idle is fantastic. I've owned 3 Porsche and a few other 2-seat sports cars. Ferrari is the only mark that I still covet. I'm old now so unlikely that I'll ever buy one but man this car sounds great. Thanks Ted for showing it off.
What a treat! 10:46-13:56 is part of a route I bike regularly, so it's tremendous fun to watch you do the Trapelo Road climb with the V12 singing its song. It occurs to me that that's prime rich-guy territory--lots of old (and new) money estates hiding in the woods around there, and yet I don't see sports cars driving those roads all that often. I wonder if that would have been different a few decades ago.
It is amazing how cars take you back in time. The memories the sights the sounds the character and the theater of the experience. A memory to be savored for a lifetime. To remember the day you drove the classic Ferrari 250. It enjoys the revs and the miles that it deserves.
I have a huge soft spot for this series of Ferrari. I remember the 250 GT coupe video you did years ago where the fuel pump procedure immediately caught my attention. Then there was the part in that video where you walked behind the car while it was idling. The sound was nuts.
One (SWB) is up on the Mecum auction Saturday 1/12/24 I think . They have 3 big dollar Ferrari's (67' NART Spyder + 64' 275 GTB/LM) and a BIG dollar GT 40 this time .
A fantastic video about one of the greatest cars ever made! Ferrari 250! It feels as if I was driving and experiencing it myself! Thank you for sharing this!!
Actor James Coburn owned a 250 GT California. It was said he drove it daily, and after he died it sold at auction for over 5 or 6 million. His was black with a black interior.
Wow, this has got to be considered peak 50s/60s Ferrari! It’s like what the 67 427 Corvette is to American design. Not a bad angle or a bad sound to be found, perfectly imperfect.
Wow Tedward, what a great job you have!!! Driving these legendary machines. Thank you for bringing them to our screens. I really like your videos, keep up the good work!
This is the first time I have seen your website. Your review of the Spyder California resonated with me because I once owned an SWB version. Your comments were right on point for me (including looking at your reflection in the store window). Just a few comments: According to George M. Carrick's book, The Spyder California, A Ferrari of Particular Distinction, (c) 1976 by John W. Barnes, Jr. Publishing, the LWB version of the car had disc brakes "Toward the end" of the series. And, Carrick says all the SWB Spyder Californias had disc brakes. My car had them, to be sure. The best part of driving the car with the top down was hearing that glorious V12 sound just feet behind your ears. My car had a more lumpy idle than I heard on your video. I never thought much of that at the time, because this was my first Ferrari. Thinking about it now, maybe it had "10 Millimeter" racing cams installed. The number refers to valve lift. Another thought: Carrick says the car weighed 1050 KG (2350 LBS) and the engine produced 260 BHP @ 7000 RPM. Zero to 60 time was 7.0 with an 8 x 32 (4:1) rear axle ratio. My 2016 Mazda Miata weighed 2330 LBS and had 155 BHP @ 6000 RPM and a final drive ratio of 3.45:1. It goes zero to 60 in 5.9 seconds (!!!!). 4th gear is 1.00:1, so the transmission ratios are probably similar to those of the Ferrari. Is this all about tires? The Ferrari has 15 inch wheels with 185 x 15 tires, while the Miata has 17 inch wheels with 195 45 x 17 tires. What the....?
Thanks for the brake info! I figured I’d ask the audience because that can be tricky information to verify by a google search. I just knew what I had seen in person on previous real cal spyders and figured there would be room for variation since Ferrari loved to change things throughout a models life
What a glorious machine... the things I would do to own something like this one day... Keep the classic car POV's coming, Tedward, they are definitely my favorite! By the way, thanks for my new desktop screen savers! 2:10
The Ferrari in Ferris Beuller wasn't real, it was a replica. They said the insurance for a real one would have cost too much to even have it sitting on set.
With new tire technology and disk brakes and newer shocks and springs, this remake is going to be so much more an easy drive and ride. As an old car owner from the 50’s and 60’s, when I added for mentioned gear to my 50 and 60’s cars, they really were easier to drive.
What an awesome sound! There is no need of going full speed in a public road to enjoy the driving, just an old school engine and a gear shift transmission!
'Love it! Thx for the ride, Ferris!! OK that it's not SWB. The biggest giveaway in the movie that it wasn't a real Ferrari was engine sound. A Ford 289 V-8 sounds way different from a Columbo V-12. The classic Nardi wood & aluminum steering wheel was a Ferrari staple from the early ones & into the 70's / 80's. The Veglia gauges (pronounced VAY-lee-ya) are a fine touch, as are the 3 - 2bbl. Webers. The tail lights were literally from the Fiat parts bin - same as those on my Fiat spyder of the era, also a Pininfarina design. 'Loved the line - "If you have the means, ..."! Bellissima recreation! The Tremec 5-speed is a nice touch too.
They are probably not a special Ferrari part. Ferrari sourced parts from mass-produced cars of the era to keep costs "low." Ferrari Series 1 Cabriolets had the same door handles. Inside door handles, window cranks, etc., too. See a comment in this story that says the taillights are from a Fiat. The headlight trim rings on a 250 Short-wheelbase Berlinetta were from a Peugeot 403, as I remember. Farina did that car, too, so it makes sense. I owned both at different times--the Ferrari when it cost in the low-five-figures!
Ive grown accustomed to see exotic cars to the point of not being attracted to staring at them anymore. But this is one of those few that always make me go crazy when I see one.
Beautiful roadster to tour in and rally in, and a well tuned engine, made to amplify by the wonderful Ansa exhaust system and with two valve engine giving good useable torque down low. However dynamically it is an antique, even in its era. Single cam per bank engine, Worm/roller steering, a rear live axle with leafs springs, and drum brakes are not optimal but Ferrari took time to adopt better running gear. However Ferraris at that time were "built" better than other exotic makes so they did not break as often in endurance races which enabled them to win. The later Ferrari 275GTB and especially the Dino corrected the mechanical layout, the former having double overhead camshafts per bank, double wishones all round with telescopic damping and the latter had also superior rack and pinion steering as well as the suspension upgrades and are superior driving cars.
There are very few automobiles that will make every single person who sees it stop and stare. This is absolutely one of them.
Clearly not the dude at the end!
disagree
Honestly, non car people will probably look at this and think it's nothing more than an Austin-Healey.

Man, this is a dream car. I can’t think of a more beautiful car. And it seems like a very enjoyable car to drive. You’re a very lucky man, Tedward
The SWB/short wheel base version circa 1961 is slightly more beautiful but otherwise I think you have it right.
He said he didn't own a real one, this is a replica. He ain't that lucky.
Yes I agree, no bad music to drown out the sound of that V-12 engine. The engine is the music.
Please make a 10hr looped version of this purring snarling music, that we can listen to at work !

My all time favorite.
This is a video that needs to be watched wearing decent headphones! It sounds unbelievable.
Nothing beats Italian art . Che Bella!
Excellent content as ever Tedward, I adore getting to see and hear these iconic vehicles from a first person perspective
I love having no screens in the car and analog gauges.
The sound... WOW.

If that movie never existed, i doubt this car would be worth anymore than the other Ferraris of that time.
Doubtful. There were only around 100 made. Low number Ferraris are big money and most have never been seen in movies
Can you imagine the looks you would get from other road users as you growl on by in your Cali Spyder?
What a fabulous machine.
what a beautiful car - sight, sound, and feel
They were Smiths gauges (very British, and therefore a dead giveaway of fakeness) in the Ferris Bueller 'Ferrari'.
These classic Ferraris are gorgeous
In car lover's terms, that's like if the Louvre would lend you the mona lise to hang in your living room for a weekend
I live in Massachusetts, if I didn't know this channel and saw this coming at me--in January, no less--I'd drive right off the road.
Hey Tedward….A 62 275 /4 California Spyder just sold at Mecum for$ 16,500,000.00…making that the all time record at Mecum…😊….love your channel…Paul.
I will forever want a 250 GT California they are absolutely stunning to look at
2:00 this might be one of the best looking cars I've ever seen from this rear 3/4 angle.
We sold my grandpas lwb 1960 250 cal spyder a couple years ago it was an amazing experience. And beautiful to look at.
Awesome video ! Love the format
I wish they still made small V8 and V12 engines. Sure they wouldn’t be as powerful but they would still have the character.
Tedward you are my hero. Great video, sir.
Thank you will!!
Just a treat for the eyes and ears, thank you!
That gorgeous steering wheel adds so much to that interior look of that beautiful Ferrari ❤️
Just started the video but im already loving it, holy moly!! 🥰🥰
Thanks Ferris❤. Love this car, it’s prob the most desirable Ferrari ever made in my opinion
Nice review. Despite of being a “fake” Ferrari, the pedigree, is there and she’ll be always a GT. GJ Tedward!
The Ferrari in Ferris Beuller wasn't real, it was a replica. They said the insurance for a real one would have cost too much to even have it sitting on set.

your tire size also helps with light steering - having 255/35R19s would be considerably different than 195/80r15
What an awesome sound! There is no need of going full speed in a public road to enjoy the driving, just an old school engine and a gear shift transmission!

The classic Nardi wood & aluminum steering wheel was a Ferrari staple from the early ones & into the 70's / 80's. The Veglia gauges (pronounced VAY-lee-ya) are a fine touch, as are the 3 - 2bbl. Webers. The tail lights were literally from the Fiat parts bin - same as those on my Fiat spyder of the era, also a Pininfarina design. 'Loved the line - "If you have the means, ..."! Bellissima recreation! The Tremec 5-speed is a nice touch too.
Ce n'est pas juste une voiture c'est un chef-d'œuvre
Tedward serving Ferris Bueller realness!
Out of all the things on this car, I'm crazy for those door handles
They are probably not a special Ferrari part. Ferrari sourced parts from mass-produced cars of the era to keep costs "low." Ferrari Series 1 Cabriolets had the same door handles. Inside door handles, window cranks, etc., too. See a comment in this story that says the taillights are from a Fiat. The headlight trim rings on a 250 Short-wheelbase Berlinetta were from a Peugeot 403, as I remember. Farina did that car, too, so it makes sense. I owned both at different times--the Ferrari when it cost in the low-five-figures!
What a car !
also in mint condition. You are Lucky one !
The shift into third gear at 15:04 was immaculate
Ive grown accustomed to see exotic cars to the point of not being attracted to staring at them anymore. But this is one of those few that always make me go crazy when I see one.
Car makes me giggle with joy
Front engine 12 cylinder and rear wheel drive. The perfect combination
Beautiful roadster to tour in and rally in, and a well tuned engine, made to amplify by the wonderful Ansa exhaust system and with two valve engine giving good useable torque down low. However dynamically it is an antique, even in its era. Single cam per bank engine, Worm/roller steering, a rear live axle with leafs springs, and drum brakes are not optimal but Ferrari took time to adopt better running gear. However Ferraris at that time were "built" better than other exotic makes so they did not break as often in endurance races which enabled them to win. The later Ferrari 275GTB and especially the Dino corrected the mechanical layout, the former having double overhead camshafts per bank, double wishones all round with telescopic damping and the latter had also superior rack and pinion steering as well as the suspension upgrades and are superior driving cars.
The sound of that car is so nice.
love to see all the royalty on this channel
What a fabulous experience and thank you for sharing it with us. No damned Tesla is going to give you the goosebumps this car does! Cheers - Dave
It is his love, it is his passion, and it is his own fault he didn't lock the garage.
Thank Ted, Best video yet! Always wanted a car built the year I was born.
