    That's a nice one. The color combo is very european. It would be rare in the US.

    Something doesn't seem right with this one if you look at its history in DinoRegister and assume the info there is reasonably accurate.

    Canepa site claims it's a 1975 (huh?). Dino Register states it's a 3-owner car thru 2005 with no ownership history since then, has always been Black/Black (I guess you could claim Black exterior for Anthracite), no Daytona seats and mileage went from 60k km after 2nd owner, down to 23k (miles?)...60k km translates to 36k mi.

    Having said all of that, that is one gorgeous color on a Dino, tho I'd immediately remove that red carpeting (bad combination with the beige interior).

    I also suspect Canepa is asking a lot for this one (he usually does from what I've seen), but there's no price info on his site.

    Wow- what a gorgeous car!! I think it would look better with a muted ox blood red interior with daytona seats. The steering wheel looks like one of those fat repro's - not sure. However, I think this may end up being the color that I paint my euro gt (whenever it gets done). It certainly is a top 2 or 3 choice. Just gorgeous!!

    I do not understand, why in most of the Dino adverts, people wax poetically about the history of the car, origins, evolution, poor Alfredino,

    and then write, "More car information and history coming soon!"? Then they go on with one paragraph about the car.

    What sort of salesmanship is that?

    How many prospective Dino buyers aren't aware of all the historical facts, or do they assume all Dino buyers think in this slightly more pedestrian manner:

    "Geez, what a great story, I think that's the clincher. I'm definitely gonna buy that purty 'Hot Wheels' lookalike car.
    Wonder if the dang motor is up front?"

    Give me a break...

    Regards, Alberto

    Lots of car ads (not just Dinos), do that. I've never understood it either. I just skip past to what I am actually looking for.

    I'll tell you where this comes from.

    The Dino has been the ugly stepsister of the Ferrari brand and since 1969 it's owners have been trying to make a stronger connection with Ferrari to help improve sales values.

    You see the exact same thing with Fiat Dino's. The tell the same story to try to make that connection with Enzo.

    Today, it's no longer necessary. It's just become the way you present Dinos. It's expected.

    I personally don't like color change Ferrari's. Though it is very attractive in its new color (except for the red carpet, in my opinion)
    Be extra vigilant on this.... (separate from the color change issue...)

    Matthias,

    Could you get me the link to the that information? The Dino registry shows this vehicle as Blk/Blk. I would love to know how you found that info. Could help solve a lot of questions for Mr. Obry who restored it.

    Thanks,
    Sean
