Designed
for export to America, the 1957 250 GT California Spyder
was Scaglietti's interpretation of an open-top 250 GT.
Aluminum was used in the hood, doors, and trunk lid,
with steel specified elsewhere for most models, though
a few aluminum-bodied racing versions were also built.
The engine was the same as in the 250 Tour de France
racing car with up to 240 hp (179 kW). All used the
long 2600 mm (102.4 in) chassis. About 45 were made
before it was replaced by the SWB version in 1960, a
fact mentioned by Cameron Frye in the movie "Ferris
Bueller's Day off." This film made that car famous.
Today the car is worth in the neighborhood of 2-4 million
dollars, a recent car selling for 1.2 million dollars
at an RM Auction in Florida.
