There may be some confusion here... The piece of poo was correctly
identified originally as a mid, late 70's Alfetta Sedan.  It can be seen
in the first 30 minutes of the movie outside of Cameron's home, when
Cameron is supposed to go pick up Ferris.  Cameron isn't very happy with
it, but Ferris does refer to the car as a "Piece of #&%!"  Luckily, the
Ferrari replica looks and sounds good enough that we can forgive his
trashing of an Alfa.

Cameron Frye's car is an old Mazda RX2 from the 1970's
with a Wankle rotary engine and lots of back-firing and lousy gas
milage.
