I’ve never had a problem with well made replicas. As long as they are not represented as original. Great video Colleen

[@Willie-tf7zr]

I never understood that mentality. If you own a replica of a famous car, especially if it is done well, just be proud of it it, when asked, just say it's a replica of tribute car.

[@ThomasFerrugia]

I wanted one of these SO badly. I even contacted Modena Design and Development in California (who made the Ferris Bueller car) and they mailed me a brochure, order form and build sheet (this was the mid 80s, so we were still sending paper via UPS). It used its own chassis, but the 5.0 V8 engine and 4-speed automatic transmission were borrowed from a Mustang. I remember it was almost exactly $50,000, which is roughly $140,000 today.

[@NextGenClassics]

Whoa, that's crazy!

[@alexv5261]

Some years back I was at a car show in Santiago Chile. I saw a convertible, cool looking Ferrari Daytona Spyder, only to find out it was a C3 Corvette kit car from the 1970's. I would drive that car every day.

[@claudedudouit4242]

I love replicas as I had a 57 Speedster Porsche replica for years as my daily. Nice one again Colleen 👌😊

[@sjm5482]

Nice job from the presenter. Clear, knowledgeable, well spoken. So many of the car video presenters should never be in front of a camera or microphone... and the ending is spectacular.

[@Jonathan-mt9up]

One of the most beautiful cars ever produced.

[@markaphotog]

Awesome video Colleen!! I saw one of the cars from the movie Ferris Bueller at the Henry Ford Museum temporarily donated by Hagerty

[@FrancescoMarelli84]

Wait a minute WAIT A MINUTE. Youe channel has only 2 viseos as of today's and rhis is the wuality of videos you put out? Holy Moly !!! I cannot believe this, I kid you not when I went to your channel homepage I was expecting to see AT LEAST 100-150 videos. If you have never presented before and/or you just now assembled your videography and edot team ...then my jaw literally just hit the floor ❤ Otherwise also, again, superbly done !!!

Hi Colleen, love, love this video! I was the proud owner (2004-2013) of a very similar Ferrari SWB California recreation, but based on a 365 GT 2+2 (larger V12, 5-sp gear box and IRS), so I can admire how much you enjoyed talking about and driving this one -- very accurate and sounds even better! Brings back so many good memories of driving mine. While there are those who trash talk "replicas/rebodies/recreations" (& now "Revival" with the good work of GTO Engineering), the car you drove and my car (& other rebodies) are definitely 100% Ferrari, just with a better body, usually in the case where the previous one was beyond repair or value (or like the 365 "Queen Mary/Mother" mine was, just plain Ugly). The new body for mine was made in aluminum by Allegretti in the 1980's (Allegretti was one of Ferrari's coach builders), so basically a kick-ass Ferrari Hot Rod !! -- worth every penny of $1+ million and will likely only increase in value in the future as a rare collectable (like, because you can actually DRIVE and ENJOY the thing as I did !). Mine was not only blessed by one of the original owners of Ferrari of Atlanta dealership as being incredibly accurate and worthy (he still had his TdF, an original LWB CA Spyder, etc), it was later acquired by the then-current owner of Ferrari of Atlanta for his private collection (along with his stable of 250 Lussos, 275s, etc). I believe it now belongs to a major collector of both modern & vintage Ferraris. I'm so glad you are following in your father's footsteps as it was articles from him, Niles, Roush and Apen (not to mention having T. Rutland's nearby) that gave me the confidence to buy my absolute dream car many years ago. Cheers! (& I think your arms look great, Btw :)

1961 Ferrari 250 GT California It's his fault he didn't lock the garage. Nothing more needs to be said but that's a very sweet replica in the video and is well presented.

[@DirtBikeSessions]

Excellent 😎

[@writerconsidered]

Whether you have the money or not. There's only 39 out there. So if you want one you have to hope someone is willing to sell one. If they don't you are out of luck regardless of how much money you have. That's where cars like this matter. With the right craftsmanship and attention to detail they can be just as good if not better than the original. What's really different between a replica and an original hand built Ferrari from the 60s?

[@csjames69]

In FB’s day off, it’s possible to tell the 250GT is a replica as Ferris puts the car in drive from park when they pick up Sloan. No 250GT came with an auto.

[@polkadotbulldog]

Great video. Engine noise after Ferris picks up his girlfriend at school was not a V8. Added v12 sound. Had to be.

[@richardelliott8352]

I feel pretty good about saving about a million dollars and settling for a lessor experience with a corvette convertible from 2003. I made sure it fit me well, and was surprised at how many cars I didn't fit into when I went convertible shopping . I really don't consider 6'2" that tall.

[@minibus1351]

Nice DBS in the back

[@NextGenClassics]

Buy it!

[@betsyduane3461]

Some close-up shots in FB were of a real 250 GT, and the engine in the replica (actually 3 replicas) was a 1974 302 Ford V-8, C-4 auto, not a muscle car engine. The “Ferrari” that crashes out of a window is really a carefully crafted fake. To capture the look and feel of the real deal, the film’s special effects team used shots of a Jaguar E-Type, FIAT 128 Spyder, and a VW Type 3.

[@NextGenClassics]

The more you know! Thanks for sharing

[@michaelfraser5723]

IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL THE SLIM LADY SINGS, COLLEEN

[@supersonique001]

Love it! Would have no problem owning or driving a fine replica as long it was all Ferrari, however Ferrari probably disapproves and may not look too kindly on you!

just wow

[@bjornromermann5080]

When I realised that they use geniune time-era correct Ferrari-Parts I was wondering if "Replica" is not stretched a bit much here as a term. Yeah it's not original but I expected some straight six Engine from today and so on. Was hoping to hear a Price under 100k. But that wish died instantly after hearing how it is build. Still an awesome car and I hope there will be People who actually drive it like Ferris and don't Garage Queen it!

[@NextGenClassics]

That's our goal too! We do our best to put cars in good hands so that they can continue to be enjoyed for years to come

[@rodneypratt4324]

What if you're going to talk about and how much does it cost to get one built hello information

[@smavtmb2196]

Love that car. However a million dollars for a replica is still too expensive for most people. A replica if build well can be better than original and alot cheaper to build/buy. You can buy or build a very good qaulity Shelby Cobra replica for alot less than 1 million dollars.

[@icooper5236]

Probably more reliable than the original

[@FrancescoMarelli84]

Wonderful video! Only thing I would have loved to know is what it might approximately cost to own a replica like this.

[@kobartlett]

A million. She says it in the video. They also don’t sell for 20 million. 6-10 million recently

My friends and I did some of that Ferris Bueller stuff except we didn't have a Ferrari. With us we stood in front of the garage and said "The 1977 Ford LTD wagon with the 460 and the tow package." Generally I don't like replicas that much because most of them look like cheap knock offs but I wouldn't mind having a realistic Countach or Ferrari 288 GTO replica at all because I know I will never own a real one.

[@NextGenClassics]

You never know, hard work pays off and maybe you can get a real one! And you know who to call when that time comes

There was an original California swb that was made with a Lampredi 4 litre I think there was only one.

All Ferraris are made for people with long arms and short legs. Nature of the beast. I’m 6‘ 4”. I can fit in a 308 well enough. Ridden in a 250 GT SWB, Daytona and a Dino. One just grits ones teeth and takes it when riding or driving a Ferrari. You know why.😊

@@NextGenClassics my prediction is in 10-15 years when all the decent parts cars are gone, the 928 will become rare to see. I think they made like 170k corvettes last year (don’t quote me). 61,000 928s were built worldwide over 17 years. I’d say the attrition rate estimated around 40% parted/dismantled, totaled. Maybe 30,000 roadworthy 928s in the world left, if that. Now think that maybe 70 % of them automatics. That leaves maybe 9000 manual 928s on the road on earth
