INTERESTING, never knew such a car exsisted...

WOW! VERY interesting indeed! How much are they asking for? Thanks for sharing.

Dang! If I had the cash, I would buy it in a heartbeat!

 

WOW! That's a fair price...I may have to take a look.

The Fiat Dino Coupe was designed by Bertone. The 2.4 liter Fiat Dino Spyder (The Orange Car) was designed by Pininfarina and built at the Ferrari factory.

I love the sticker right on the engine .

Not to be confused with a non Ferrari car

 

Fabulous cars, just very annoying when people try to pass them off as Ferrari and stick Cavallinos all over them.

 

Would the proper badge for it then be a Fiat badge or a Dino one?

 

That's a nice looking coupe.

Here are some pictures I took of one of the racecars she made possible.

Do you think it would be overdoing it if they put one on the overflow tank also?

It looks like it could use one.

 

Wow...!

 

Fiat. As kerrari said, it's sad when people try to pass it off as a Ferrari, which it just isn't. It doesn't need the Ferrari badges to be a great car.

 

I would say that a SF Shield is more appropriate on a Fiat Dino than it is on most of the production Ferrari's of the last twenty years. As there production is what allowed some great race cars to exist. You can't say that about any of the modern era V-12 road cars, including the Enzo.

:thumbsup:

 

Wow that Dino 166 is sooo small! Not much to it. Really cool and rare pics of that car. Thanks for sharing Bisonte.

Jim, I am still FLOORED that you have the yellow Dino Coupe, absolutely amazing. I remember staring at the Dino with it's gullwing doors as a child with an intense and sheer wanting for that car. Its shape and curves are burned in my memory and live on in my 308, which I simply adore. Enjoy it in good health my friend.

 

Thanks. It will be at Palm Beach Super Car Weekend a week
From Sat.

 

saw a green one once at the original auto palace in pittsburgh's east liberty section about 1974.
it was in for service and the hood was up and i noticed the ferrari valve covers on the engine.
what struck my eye was the "ferrari" emblazoned on the engine, not the fiat badge on the hood.

 

Note the coupe used the smaller 2.0L V6, Mr. G. has the more desirable example in the 2.4L convertible.

Still, $15K to "get in the game"....just be aware anything you need for the engine WILL have "Ferrari level" pricing!!

You'd think they'd have saved the money on stickers, and given the engine compartment a "rattle can detail job"......

 

Looks to be a complete, straight car though.......give the body a once over for repairs of rust, etc. typical things....

It DOES have nice lines.

Nice wheels, note the 'dog dish' hubcaps, ala Dino 206/246.....

 

Coupe was offered with the 2.4L when available. As mentioned, the coupe was designed by Bertone, the convertible by Pininfarina. Not a Bertone fan, but I love the looks of the coupe, and I drool over the convertible. Really nice looking cars.

Big problems for us in the US - these weren't officially imported, so they are gray market. Also, it's still a Dino engine, which means expensive maintenance was very often put off (well, it IS a FIAT!), so definitely do a PPI. Deferred maintenance could be big problems....

 

I htink they have pretty much stopped worrying about the cars from the 70s!

Most of them here on the Coast are LONG gone to the rust bugs. So if this one is a nice survivor it might be worth looking at...

I agree about the engine bits, they'll cost like a Ferrari Dino no doubt!

 

Was the coupe done by Giugiaro during his time at Bertone?
Did some digging, it was.

 

Haha! You are right! I meant in terms of parts availability and what not. Once had an X1/9 back when FIAT was still imported to the US, still wasn't easy to get anything for it...

However, if I were a rich man, I'd have to have one of these.

 

yeah the guy went a little overboard on the sticker binge but still...thats a great price for a Fiat Dino...the motor alone is worth that!

 

IIRC, both the Coupe and the Spider were first built with the full aluminium 2-ltr V-6 (as Dino 206), and later with the 2,4 ltr iron-block engine like 246 Dino.
The Coupes were for a long time to be had for very little money, but most were absolute rust-buckets. Spicer is an absolute gem.
