A cross reference and summarize from various valid Dino registers, as well as a combination of receiving and searching information through many years interest for this mark, both the Ferrari Dino and the Fiat Dino.
This also includes data from Dino Italia and The Dino register.

Great info, thanks. Do you know approx. how many US vs Euro spec?

Think it is impossible to know how many Dino remain in the world, let alone in the USA. It is strictly a guess. How many Dino are on F-chat?
Dino options, seats, fenders, colors, etc. only Marcel knows who's on first and what's on second...

And even he, does not know the exact tally of survivors.
The early ones, possibly more, as very low numbers, but the rest, hmmm.

It's amusing at times, when 'one time' posters ask a "help question" on their first post then disappear, never to be heard of, until post #2, 5 years later.

Back to the original question, my guess is between 5 / 15% less than built, out of 4,000+ cars? That number, is not exactly an exclusive quantity...and my guess is inconsequential,
same as is the number of surviving Dino. Strictly a guessing game.

How many FIAT Dino spider / coupe, were built? survivors?
Probably even less proportionately, as at a moment they were the 250 GTE of the day, yummy engine(s), thus derelict car.

Daytona, what? 1200 +? Still a lot of cars. How many are there around?

Nobody will separate Daytona drive trains unless need spares for 'authentic' racers.
Never seen a Daytona shell on offer.

For instance, the one I recently found in Milano, an E series GT, no-one knew of its physical existance,
and possibly 20 people know of it, 18 if you knock the seller and present buyer, and nobody is talking.

The way I see it, only the 'gifted' speak on Dino chassis numbers specifically, due to their

achievements in life. No one is going to refer to Dino #01104, what for?

Unlike a car such as #0490M, that all 'cognoscenti' know what it is. I certainly did not, had to look it up

Well put, Alberto.

Slightly off topic (sorry), but I also find "the guessing games" for values of older (vintage?) cars even more ridiculous. Especially, when "the market analysis" aim to include "high bids" of no-sales(!?!) at auctions and/or ASKING price of any example available anywhere, past or present.

Perhaps it's due to lacking a degree in finance or higher education in general, but I always thought the real value of anything is established only with an actual transaction between buyer & seller or just because someone has an ASKING price for something, it doesn't mean its worth that.
Then again, there are a lot of other things also in life I fail to understand, no matter how much logic I try to apply.

Sorry no, that kind of detail split was never in the data I have got.
