Doesn't look like Daytona seats to me, am I missing something? AutoTrader Classics - 1974 Ferrari 246 Coupe Red 6 Cylinder Manual 2 wheel drive | Exotics | Santa Monica, CA "DESCRIPTION: 1974 Dino 246 GTS with chairs and flares. 14,088 original miles. Original owners manuals and paperwork authenticating original ownership. This Dino was purchased directly from Enzo Ferrari in 1974 and was delivered to Paris, France where the owner was working as a Neurosurgeon at the time. From France the Dino was shipped to Detroit, Michigan and then on to Santa Monica, California where the Ferrari resides today. The Dino is being garaged for the duration of the sale with the same mechanic since 2005. Still has factory plastic and comes with air conditioning and power windows. 100% mechanically sound with service records. The Ferrari is inspected and driven once a week to ensure optimal performance. "
Followed the AutoTrader link. They compare the Dino246 with it's successor 308GT4. Interesting comments,and from my experience,well founded. Following the sale of the second 246 that I had in my showroom,a 308GT4 was the next up. I was amazed at how different the cars were. The 308 had much more grunt,amazing view from the driving seat,and room for the kids.You know?..I loved that car.Shortly after we had an Aston-Martin-Lagonda. Both these cars had a style that was short lived,and remains dated,and unloved to this day. Pity,because I think the 308GT4 is classic small Ferrari. Maybe it's time will come..What do you think?
Sure looks like US delivery to me. Odd, flares, no chairs. Would be interesting to know if the flares are original.
I have owned a Blu Sera/Tan 246 GT for 38 years, and my obvious bias will not allow me to disagree with you! Fred

Wheelbase: 2,340 mm. Two registered owners from new Formerly owned by racer Jean-François Vaney Only 58,000 kilometres from new Recent restoration, with Lancia Stratos engine upgrades The car that a racing driver drove on the street The Dino 246 GT had all the ingredients to produce a perfect sports car: a high-revving V-6, a five-speed transaxle, disc brakes, and a stiff and responsive chassis, all wrapped in svelte Pininfarina-styled bodywork. It was not technically a Ferrari, and the factory never sold it as such, with the catalogue referring to it as “almost a Ferrari”. Yet, the famous name is now regularly retroactively applied, as its performance has proven to be more than deserving of it. The Dino gained fame as a car for “those in the know”, as it offered a perfect mix of attractive, delicate design and ferocious performance at an appealing price. Most desirable of the road going Dinos is the 246 GTS, which included a removable targa roof panel. Only 1,274 examples were produced, including the example offered here, which was delivered new by famed Belgian dealer Garage Francorchamps SA to Etablissement Butch, of Brussels. Its original owner was Jean Damman, a gentleman associated with the firm. In 1979, the car was sold by Mr Damman to Jean-François Vaney, and a copy of the original Bill of Sale is included on file. Mr Vaney was a Swiss gentleman racing driver who resided in Belgium, and he was highly regarded amongst drivers in F1 and other events during this decade. Following his retirement, he ran a workshop, Vaney Cars Sprl., in the famous circuit town of Zolder. The current owner has maintained the Dino for many years, but it has not been registered in his name; as a result, it legally remains a two-owner car, as it is still titled in Mr Vaney’s name.
