The Ferrari was indeed a real 250 GT California Spider. Lest you forget, the
movies are notorious for using "body doubles" so as not to despoil the
reputation of the star.  The scenes of the car just sitting or driving on
the street were most likely done with the real car and the crash scene was
the replica.  I saw the real California Spider at the Santa Barbara Concours
d'Elegance back in the late '80s.  The owner had the detailed history of the
car's participation in the movie.  At that time it was owned by someone in
L.A.
