The crashed car was eventually restored to pre-crash condition, but it’s nothing more than an unknown rolling chassis with a fiberglass body and a cheap-looking interior. It didn’t even need an engine, as gravity did most of the work. As a collection of parts, it’s maybe worth $2,000.
Its worth comes from provenance, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is a cult classic. To give you some idea of just how much this movie means to some people, a piece of clothing worn by Bueller (Matthew Broderick) sold for $143,750.
We hope the new owner pays proper tribute to this car because there’s only one way to display it: the owner has to build a replica of the garage, crash it in the same way, and then put it on display.
It’s what Cameron Frye would have wanted.
