In the classic 1986 film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," Bueller's best friend, Cameron Frye, famously says, "The 1961 Ferrari 250GT California. Less than a hundred were made. My father spent three years restoring this car. It is his love, it is his passion."

Now, it can be yours. Well, that is if you have a few hundred thousand dollars to spare.

The famous car used in the movie (starring Matthew Broderick as Ferris Bueller and Alan Ruck as Cameron Frye) will be auctioned off Saturday at 3 p.m. EST, at Mecum Auctions in Monterrey, California, airing live on NBC.

The car value is estimated at $325,000 to $375,000.

Of course, the "Ferrari" famously isn't actually Ferrari at all. The vehicle is listed as a 1985 Modena GT Spyder California — a replica car, which is a Ford fit with a fiberglass body that resembles a Ferrari, according to Cnet. It is one of three that were made specifically for the movie, and only one of two that still exists today.

for the record, an actual 1961 Ferrari 250GT California sold at auction for over $10-million a few years ago.
