Nice photo of a 74 looks great in yellow it is what our 74 will be painted what is the location......
1975 car I believe, hit the road April 76 (UK). Photograph taken at Danny's Lookout: Mount Hotham, Victoria, Australia. Fantastic car, fabulous roomy interior; a little black leather salon, real period GT car. I am 6'1" & can comfortably sit L leg fully extended foot flat on the firewall. Devours the road. 2012 travel total coming up to 14,000 miles.
This one has No mirror ... It must be a 1974 AL Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Nope, the 4 in GT4 is referring to 4 cam. I believe the proper name of the car is the Dino 308 GT4 2+2.
My 74 had one mirror. When I did the deal I had to fight to get them to add the passenger side mirror. On the showroom floor it only had one drivers side mirror. Wazza.
Bernanke has influenced prices more than the production numbers. When he stops printing our childrens' childrens' money we'll find out what they're worth.
The 246 will go to 100k before it hits 1mil. That's how things turn out when everyone thinks "that's how it works".

Nothing goes up in a straight, uninterrupted line. Dinos and all pre fuel injection Ferraris are going only one place- higher. (Eventually) So are all the iconic sports cars of the 70s. It's an absolute 100% certainty. If the market regresses for a short period, that's natural. (It always does and it probably will at some point in the future as well) The air cooled Porsched in my garage have doubled in value in the past 7 year's- Thats just the way the market is sometimes. This does not mean making money is a certainty- there's the opportunity cost of the money, the maintenance and insurance etc. Keeping a vintage Ferrari in "Collector car" condition is far too expensive for the bottom of the line Ferraris, which will one day make the remaining excellent condition cars valuable.
GT4's may go up as other ferraris do... A high tide raises all boats, as the saying goes... I can't see it skyrocketing, though. I love ferraris, and wanted one since I was a kid. I never heard of a GT4 until coming on this site... Never saw it on a poster... Never saw it on a magazine cover... Never saw it in a TV show and said "OOOOoooo I want that." Never saw it at a car show... The 308 has sex appeal...and its own TV show. Thanks Magnum.... The testarossa was a flagship, graced more bedroom walls and magazine covers than I can recall... and had a TV show. The dino GTS looks drop dead gorgeous...its art on wheels... The other two have to skyrocket before the GT4 has a chance. People lament the testarossa for its high maintenace costs. Doesn't seem to have held the Countach back much... Bo
I think the odd ball period styling and Bertone body will make these cars do well in the future. Lots of "design" folks have these cars. You are starting to see them in photos in the fashion world.
246's have quadrupled in the last decade. So long as the Fed prints baby prints the sky's the limit. But before that you'll have riots.
Also, if you're not beating the currency devaluation, up can still be down. The GT4 would have to be about 170k today to match its original sales price adjusted for inflation. Credit Greenspan and Bernanke for pumping the bubble like madmen since 2000.
Mean's it's time to buy!! Given the restoration costs of ANY Ferrari- the slightly rusty, slightly crusty GT4s and Mondials and 308s are going to sell for sub $20Ks. Restoring them makes ZERO financial sense...today. To buy a $17K car that costs $60K to make right when you can buy a perfect mint restored car for $35K.. well, the math does not work for those cars. This is the same situatoin we were in 8 years ago with 911Ts, 911Es and even S cars- Rusty cars were selling for $2-43K. Today they're $20K and restored cars- even Ts can go for $40K or more. Look- nobody is going to make money owning a GT4, but certainly the European auction results show that demand for good Gt4s is rising steadily, and that will eventually make its way over to North America just as it has with Porsches.
