Taken Off Market 1972 246GT #04860

After just getting it back from a long four year restoration, I have decided to sell my Dino. Finished in original Blu Chiaro Metalizzato over Nero interior (confirmed by Ferrari Classiche and Marcel) the car is in it's original colors. A complete restoration which included stripping the car and repainting (by a local shop who has done a number of cars for me,) and a complete mechanical (including engine rebuild,) electrical, and interior restoration by Fast Cars in Redondo beach. This car is finished and ready to be enjoyed. Currently located in the LA area.

$385,000 or would consider partial trade for a 550 or 360 manual.

hot damn.

 

Is it a Euro or sidemarker delete?

 

This the origin of this model's legend...…...

That's just like a diamond.....a BIG one.
GLWS!

 

I think Freeman has weighed in, with the specs......I go with what Freeman says....

 

Thank you Freeman!

For those interested / curious, the car is an original Euro 246GT.

04860 was rumored to be a Paris Show Car (unverified or documented from what I can dig up) which was then imported by Elie Ayache in Beruit, Lebanon and sold to a buyer in the Middle East. In 1977 it was imported by Werner Schoch in Orange County and lived there in Huntington Beach before I bought it. The original speedometer is in KM reading just under 48000KM (26000 miles)

Im sorry, I know we are not allowed to comment just to like a car and we are supposed to just hit the thumbs up button.
I just can't contain my adoration for this car by means of a like button.
There is not one bad angle to this car. It's perfect. sexy, looks the business.
I love this car!

 

Wow. I rarely, if ever, find myself saying "I wish I was older", but that car makes me do so. (so that I could have owned and driven one before they became the expensive collectibles that they deserve to be).

 

Amazing car and since Fast Cars did the mechanical restoration it will drive as well as it looks.

 

Did Werner deal in Porsches in Downey back in the 1970s?

 

I went to his house in 1970 to look at an Abarth Carrera GTL. He had two (!). Also a 904. Anyway he offered one of the Abarths to me in exchange for my new 911T Targa and $1800. $1800? How was I supposed to come up with that kind of money? I think that was the car that John Bond, Jr., eventually owned.

 

I believe his shop was in Downey.

 

Thanks, Chris. It must be the same person, then. I hadn’t seen or heard his name mentioned in many years.

Your Dino is gorgeous. I’m sure it’ll find another good home soon.

I would hurt a not altogether bad person for that car. By way of clarification, said individual would need to be pretty bad, but not totally irredeemable. Stated another way, they would have to be significantly deplorable.

 

Interesting Color, any thoughts on how many came out of the Factory in this hue.
I imagine the dash and seats are all "new" materials...

 

According to Matthias, 52 vehicles total in Blu Chiaro Met.

Ok that is more than I would have guessed. I have seen the 308 GT4 in that color.

 

Beautiful.

 

Cancel Pista and get this?.....

 

Not a bad angle to be found:
