Sounds like you have some very cool and generous friends !

Hi,
I think it may be the same model car, but I'm not absolutely certain. Nope, I just looked it up and the car in Ferris Bueller was a Ferrari 250GT California Spider, also a wonderful car, the 275GTS was it's successor.
I know Owen is a very astute buyer (this is the 8th vintage Ferrari he's owned, wish he'd never sold his Daytona Spyder, one of the 12 Factory cars, not the conversions). He bought this 275GTS 2 years ago as a solid #2 (older restoration) for somewhere north of $225k and the restoration was most likely $75k or more. But, this was in a depressed market. I bet the car tops $1million in the next 5 years...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
PS I can't upload the pics I took of Owen's car, but this link is an image of an identical one:
