    Hi guys,

    Thought I'd drop in to this sub forum and say hi since I just acquired a Dino.

    The car is a '74 US spec gts. Flares, Chairs and Air, Vinyl upholstery, all tools, books and Targa top cover. 35K miles, its pretty much an original car.

    Of course the clock does not work :) and I don't have the original key fobs, it came with a Ferrari key fob. I just posted in one of the key fob threads if anyone has any guidance on the right source for the correct fob.

    Will no doubt post a few more obscurities here as I get to know the car.

    Dan

    Black and Flared! Man after my own heart. Looks really nice, Has it a twin brother next to it, or is that the dealers shop? Congratulations Dan, hope to see and hear more from you on the forum now. regards G.P.

    Yes the twin is at the dealer's shop (that car has been restored with Flares added later in its life and a non-standard color interior, its also in very nice shape).

    Technically not my first Dino, but my first was a 74 early series 1 GT4. However it is my first 246. It makes me grin just sitting in it in the garage.

    I looked at that car, too, and it was really, really nice. How'd you like all those Toyota GTs???

    The 2000GTs are awesome. However the prices for those have gone fairly high also! Bob's a real enthusiast, his garage is great and he has some great cars there. He's been great to deal with.
