It is with a heavy heart that I am wishing to find a new home and loving caretaker for my 1970 Dino Typo L. Exterior corsa red, Interior nero. This is a very special Dino as it is the last of the ones that had the panels "hand pounded". There were only approximately 390 produced. The car has many service records, has won several prestigious awards, and has been properly serviced with no expense spared by the authorized Ferrari dealer. It has been stored during the off season, in the livingroom of one of my homes. My car has been previously owned by Tom Shaughnessy, as well as another Ferrari aficionado. Nothing needed. All tools and books, as you would expect. Asking $595,000 USD. Call Carlo at 519 318 4242 to discuss, or email me at [email protected]. Photos shall be provided. Image Unavailable, Please Login
My apologies to all. As I have never sold any of my Collection, I was not very familiar with pricing. I only contacted one "expert", who is familiar with my Dino, and suggested the asking price. After receiving emails from several FChat friends and Dealers, and recognizing that I want to sell my lovely fully restored Dino (not simply have it offered for sale forever), I have come to the conclusion that a reasonable "Correct price" is $395,000. Thank you.
Your new price seems absurdly low, is someone giving you skewed comparables? The "L" that sold near that price in Scottsdale last winter is not a comparable as 1) it is historically a weak event for Dino sales 2) That car had an engine/trans which did not match the chassis. Does your car have non-matching numbers? Put your L in the Monterey auctions for your best result and negotiate a Saturday night or perhaps Friday night for it to cross the block where the most bidders will be Here is a list of all 2015 Monterey auctions I maintain, their auction houses and we only see 5 Dinos currently offered. LOOK at their estimate prices and then note that your car is much more rare. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/206-246/489872-2015-monterey-auctions.html Here are more comparables: Autosport was asking $595k for their "L" and it is now sold Autosport Designs Gullwing is asking $467k for theirs 1969 Ferrari 246GT Dino - and project level "L" cars are at $300k 1970 Ferrari 246 GT Serial Number 00786 - main page
I am back at asking $595000. My car is near perfect. Several awards. I hate negotiating ANYTHING. Make offers. Call me. Whatever works. The car is amazing....and indeed rare. Thank you.
Does anyone have contact info and auction company preferred? Commission rate. This is a new experience for me....lol and btw you guys are really making me feel like I shouldn't sell it!
Quite honestly I would rather sell it to the right person on this site or someone they know. With no commission I am sure that saving could make it very nicely priced to a direct purchaser. I am going to also sell my award winning 10,000km 1983 bb512i. Also stored in my llivingrom in the winter. It is almost new seeming. Lol.
On reading this thread I get this mental picture of a wife's voice yelling from the kitchen "...and get these damn cars out of the Living Room!!!"
Carlo, I think your reduced price was too low for this car. Your original price is closer to the mark. Unfortunately for those of us without that kind of cash!
Definitely not too late to list in Monterey but negotiate in the consignment ahead of time to make sure it goos across the auction block on Fri or Sat night for best exposure. All auctiion house links are here: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/206-246/489872-2015-monterey-auctions.html Excellent data point, Thank you
Good point. Early consignments tend to get better placement in the sales order. Those who consign later have little leverage with negotiating commissions and sales order. You don't want the car to run at 10PM on Sunday night.
