    Managed to buy and sell 5 246's in the 1980's
    I remember buying my first for $27,000.00
    from Richard Slutsky, owner of the Nevelle Hotel
    Found 2 of my 5 Dinos by name search...
    here http://www.dinoregister.com/dr.php
    08232 was $190,000.00 in 89.
    Hmm, didnt go up too much since then!
    Sold it for close to that back then.
    Lets see, 190 g's in a money market for 20 years...?
    Shoulda kept it!
    Will post a pic of both manana
    08232 was red tan..with real daytona seats ( different Headrest)
    08312 was silver with a red/black interior...what a combo
    Anyone on F chat own one of these now?

    The actual Seat found in the 365 Daytona gtb4 has a smaller concave to the rear shape headrest..very pinin design looking
    The Dino Chairs and flairs seat has a different headrest, much fuller and awkward..imo.
    The rest of the seat is similar...
    I think Daytona meant the two tone stripes

    I replaced the seats completly during a body on restoration...and I remember purchasing these seats and an entire new interior from Ted rutland..
    I also remember throwing the original seats in garbage....OOOH!

    Take a look at 365 spyder seat pics and 246 headrest pics , you will see.

    The Only 246 options were Wider campys and fender wings and a Daytona type striped insert seat.

    Hence Chairs(daytona ) and Flairs ( Wings).

    They were usually sold / installed by factory together.

    the dino "daytona seats" are different than the daytona seats. the headrests aren't the only difference.
