How fondly so many of us remember Ferris Bueller's Day Off—John Hughes' quirky, 1986 comedy that instructed high school students everywhere that it was OK to take a day off school and pursue "choice" activities - like abusing the crap out of your best friend's father's 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California.
Now, the Highland Park, Illinois, home that housed that very same Ferrari is up for sale.
The architecturally stunning, art-filled, 5,300-square-foot house went on the market last week for $2.3 million. Its most famous feature is its steel and glass pavilion that hangs over the ravine.
The pavilion contains a wall of memorabilia dedicated to the movie, including pictures of actors Matthew Broderick and Alan Ruck taken during the filming. The owners were avid car collectors and the space is still used for special car events, such as a Ferrari Club meeting held there last weekend.
One more piece of movie trivia: In the film, Cameron's father's Ferrari wasn't actually a real Ferrari. As it was too expensive to rent one, the filmmakers made three fake ones, each with a fiberglass body.
