If it's a genuine one then yes probably. I remember reading an article in TopCar about 20 years ago and they were exchanging hands for £1.5million then. Replica gearboxes where going for 6 figure sums. The reason - there is only 2 original in existence

No nothing like that; $10-$15 million maybe. It's actually not that badly damaged: nothing that a bit of Isopon P38/40 wet & dry filler from Halford's wouldn't sort out 
. Mind you even that wonder-cure would struggle to tidy up the missing back half of that Enzo

Mr Pedant here: that Ferris Bueller car was actually a replica 250 Spider California. There's a strangely destroyed example of this Ferrari in the OP's video. Looks like a volcano has erupted all over it.

Why has this not been moved to 'other marques'? Everything else gets bloody moved!

*****, I missed the replica bit in your post
: Chris, seems the magic thread moving fairy is out on a *** break. I could move it, but its near enough in the right place, so I'll save my mouse the endurance of three more clicks (batteries are running low)

They do fetch silly money.
When one of my relatives 'David Clarke' got one from Enzo Ferrari for setting up the UK dealership he ended up selling it for a substantial amount of money and donated it ALL to the Great Central Railway charity.
It must be nice to own one but i'd be paranoid of it being stolen or even scratched!

NB: the Testa Rossa replica (XCH555) I wrote about in the "Greatest sounding cars" thread in Other Marques used to reside under a dust sheet at David Clarke's Graypaul organisation, until our family friend had it moved to his own purpose-built garage.

39 were made, and whilst some may have died, there are many more than 2 surviving.

Just found this so yes $28.5 million is about right. The number 2 is only what I recall from 20 odd years ago, and it seems a little out, there are about 39 left. Maybe the article was talking about in the UK at the time - it was a long time ago
