Dino help with 71 246 GT Dino Chassis 01968

Visually really appealing. Looks great in black. Incorrect later front bumpers and some other details like Daytona seat trim etc but nothing that keeps you from enjoying it. Has the correct Brandoli style headlamp covers. What's the price? Any books and tools?

Great that it's a Euro spec. If the price is right it could be worth it. I found this online 1971 Ferrari Dino 246 GT | Amelia Island 2013 | RM Sotheby's

Note, it mentions tools and a jack.

Shame this wasn't last week, I was up in Vancouver inspecting another car for a client

 

I originally posted about this particular Dino over a month ago. This Dino is in Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island. I think it is a pretty great looking car, irrespective of whether it has the correct bumpers, has been repainted, etc. Of course, I have no idea about the underlying mechanicals, but I still think it deserves a serious look.

I think I might be able to get a Dino guy or two in the Northwest to take a look at it. Also, there is an internationally famous Mercedes restorer, Rudi von Koniczek, in Victoria. Although he specializes in Mercedes in Victoria, Rudi also takes on other projects and is also well known in Ferrari circles in British Columbia, Canada, and the NW of the U.S. I would call him - even if he can't, or isn't willing to do a PPI on it, I'll bet he'll be able to suggest someone to look at for you.

This is from his website Rudi & Company -

"At Rudi and Company our team represents over 150 years of combined experience in restoring 300SL and other fine automobiles. Our restorations are completed from beginning to end here in Victoria, British Columbia. Restorations from our shop have received accolades and the highest awards whenever they are shown, including Forest Grove, Pebble Beach, Quail, Kirkland, Amelia Island, and 300SL National Conventions to name a few."

Good luck!

 

Really?
I would think this car would sell for much more than that. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Looks like a pretty nice car all around with fairly simple items to correct if you really want to chase concours points. The biggest thing is that only the front bumpers appear to the incorrect whereas normally these are fitted to cars in which the whole front clip is replaced for the later style with the round vents. This car has the correct front clip.

I personally would not hold its recent history against it. It is very easy to determine what the condition of a car is TODAY with a good PPI and judge it accordingly. If your intention is to get a nice clean car to drive and enjoy this could be a good candidate.

If you are after a trophy with all the feel good factors like papers, less owners, etc. expect to pay an additional $100K and it is up to you to determine where your interest and priorities lie; its totally a personal thing but it comes with a cost.

At present I do not see it as possible to get a good clean documented and detailed Dino (not a concours car mind you) with a '2' starting the price.

 

Sounds like Craig at Fastcars may have a paper trail.
IMO you can disregard ebay for pricing guidance.
Omgjon has listed some cars recently that tick all your boxes, but they're priced a bit higher.
It's my opinion that $210k is far below what this car is currently worth. You may disagree, but I think you will be searching for a while.

 

I pretty much agree. For $210K you'll likely get a real mess. I am thinking that "as is," this Dino is pretty easily $270K or more. For what Iceblue is looking for I would expect $300K+. Original tools are roughly $6000 to $8000 alone, another $2000 to $4000 (or more for books, and maybe $1500 to $2500 for a correct jack. [Yes, I know, my estimates for the tools and books could be off $1000 to $2000, but those items sure aren't cheap by any means].
