    Is it me or is the nose very very low? Almost pointing down? Could it be the bumperettes only?
    Are the wheels one size too small??

    Well it could be that since the lower front is all body color and lacks the satin black paint area it looks heavier and lower ....

    the tyres are 215/60, correct would be 205/70.....
    smaller diameter, but broader...
    should bring the car a bit lower than original...
    doesn`t look like a great idea to me ;-)

    To me, the grille surround and the cooling slit under the grille seem too straight, like a perfect rectangle. The oval scoops that flank the cooling slit also seem a bit too faired into the front pan. Finally, the front fender turn signal repeaters appear to be too large. It's quite possible that the entire nose has had collision repair. Although the black lower valence paint is missing, the front overhang still looks too low to the ground to me. My Dinos both have 225/60 tires, and they don't have that ground-hugging look. Also, the foam lining for the hood underside is resting on the top of the radiator. Fred

    "1973 Ferrari 246 Dino GT - The Ferrari that's not a Ferrari. This is the only 6 cyclinder vehicle to ever be produced by Ferrari. In fact, Enzo Ferrari felt that it was not worthy to carry the Ferrari name since it had such a small engine and so he named it "Dino"

    Wow!
    If the manufacturer feels its not worthy of his name!!!!
    I don't think I want it............

    angle of front indicators looks wrong,
    do you think they would know if it was a badly rebuilt front clip?

    One image per tire to show condition of tread same with one image of wheel to show condition of rim. Common practice with car dealers as you can never have too much information and nowadays people are terribly lazy and make full judgment based on photos alone.

    I also think the nose looks too low, like a giant stepped on the front and bent the whole thing downward. And the grille and brake vent holes don't look right. Since these cars were handmade it could be it came from the factory that way, but I would look carefully for accident damage.

    And huge asking price but no photos of the engine, front trunk, or underside???
