Back To School Movie Review
“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”
Note: This Dukes review is a rebroadcast from Episode 228 of the Kibbe and Friends Show. With summer ending and kids heading back to school, this was the closest “school” car thing we could think of. Plus….Emily Kibbe is headed off to her first year of college and Dad Kibbe needed an extra 10 minutes to cry. Enjoy!
K&F Show Summary with Special Guest, Ryan Brutt:
Ferris Bueller’s Day off is the tale of one high school hero who truly had it all; looks, brains, money, friends, a smokin’ hot girlfriend, popularity, style, and panache. However, despite all of that he still lacked the two things that he needed most….a day off, and a car! This is the tale of Ferris Bueller, the 4th wall breaking, Ferrari stealing, John Hughes immortal movie hit of 1986. Like nearly every other John Hughes tale the setting of the story was the Chicago suburbs!
The Ferrari in the film is supposed to be a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California. The insert shots of emblems and wheels really are of the genuine article, but absolutely everything else was a faker-oo Modena Spyder replica (three of them, actually). Ferrari was none too happy with this movie and sued Modena out of business. Most reports show that the Ford powered replicas were ham-fisted together, ran poorly, and broke down often. In fact our man Ryan Brutt (The Auto Archaeologist) joined in to share the tales of the man that keep the fake Ferrari’s running during the movie filming; his dad!

All of this will be controlled by a Holley Terminator X EFI system, making it capable of up to 700 horsepower. https://www.holley.com/win/ltenginesweepstakes/
The John Hughes Movie Car Spectacular! Kibbe created the criteria for all of this, so if a major one got missed or you disagree with the reasoning it’s his fault. First, the movie has to be well known. It has to have been released within his lifetime. He could have written it, directed it, or both. Most importantly there has to be a car that you instantly identify with that movie or that someone would be wacky enough to make a replica of!
