Real Dino prices

Actually its not a fiberglass panel back there it is metal...if its covered up in vinyl you are right- a poorly done respray or a complete color change. The corners back there are notorious for rust as there was an asbestos pad underneath to protect from heat but actually held water and rusted this area on the GT. I have a GT & we had to spend a bunch of time getting it cut out & repaired. I am told that it is common & if not taken care of it becomes a bigger problem. Very good catch...

 

Mark,

Your statement about the first owner listed is absolutely correct.

However, he is not the person who took original delivery.

Please note the time frame he owned the car shows the mystery in when he took possession.

I know that the first listed owner may not have been tje first owner, or the person who took delivery. Jeez, maybe it was Elvis. I thought I had made that clear with my comments about picking someone else of your own choice as the owner.

 

The missing rectangular items are NOT taillights - they are reflectors. And they are available. The other parts I mentioned are much more expensive.

 

Can you show me exactly where you are referring to?

 

I have no idea what fiberglass you're talking about in the shelf area behind the seats. There is a fiberglass shell that runs from the front bulkhead under the floor and back up the rear firewall behind the seats but at least on my Dino it stops below the "shelf" area such as it is.

 

I don't know if it is fiberglass or metal as I have a GTS -- I just know that the large shelf area behind the seats is supposed to be body color in a GT.

 

Interesting price (277K €) for a restored GTS in Italy, km 0

Ferrari 246 GTS usata, Benzina, ? 277.000,- a San Gimignano

 

i think that's 294k USD

boy that seems like a great price to me

how do i get it here ?

and how much to get it here ?

 

i actually e-mailed the sellers

does anyone have any knowledge of these people

or have any of you ever shipped a car from europe to los angeles ?

 

I would contact Cosdel in San Francisco, they aren't cheap but they are experienced and handle every detail. You might contact Matthias Bartz he may know the car or the seller, he is well connected in Italy and could possibly recommend someone to inspect it. Be certain that the car isn't renumbered, stolen, etc.

 

I don`t know the seller... but if the price is real.. it`s not expensive... restored GTS Euro model normally cost 350k to 400k Euro in Europe.... concours restoration even more....

but with the US$ so strong and the Euro hammered US buyers are welcome in Europe...
it was the other way around for many years....

I used these guys for shipping with no complains... when I bought Dinos in the USA... http://www.carseurope.net/

 

I would be very careful this is not a scam. San G is a tiny tourist hill town. Sounds very suspicious to me.

I imported my Abarth from Germany to LA in2007 and it cost me about 5K.

 

Agreed - i am very skeptical

but also trying to chase down all leads

not a lot on the market currently

 

Ad deleted, not sure it was real

 

good that actually makes me feel better

 

just received this e-mail back in response

dumb question

euro spec dinos are

more or less pricey

than us market cars

 

Definitely more desirable so I suspect a little more pricey and that's not a biased opinion.

 

If the name is real, I suggest the seller is likewise, real.

I am beginning to think this car is real

and that the seller may also be real

but I will keep you posted

 

One owner, bags of history and allegedly in concours condition, and, yes, it is an advertisement not a sale, but if this goes for anything like the £0.5 million (that's almost $625,000, even after the £'s recent slide) the vendor is asking, that will be amazing.

Howard Wise Classic Cars - Classic Stock List - Ferrari Dino 246 GT - 1 Owner from New

 

Dino 246 sold in RM's Paris auction for 448,000 Euros ($477,000 / £382,000):

1970 Ferrari Dino 246 GT 'L-Series' by Scaglietti | Paris 2017 | RM Sotheby's

206 went for 526,000 Euros ($560,000 / £448,000):

1968 Ferrari Dino 206 GT by Scaglietti | Paris 2017 | RM Sotheby's

 

I have spoken to vendor. The car appears to be as described.

For properly restored 206's & 246's these prices are still achievable. I have sold similar cars to the above for well above the prices you have highlighted.

Several UK Dealers no longer seek to restore 206/246's due to the very high costs & time involved to complete the job properly. Also, the car owner will rarely pay the money required to undertake the work, especially when 206/246 restored values are relatively low in relation to the high restoration costs.

 

Very interesting.

Both the cars sold in the auction were LHDs. Do you think there is still a premium for RHDs, or do these prices reflect that a LHD sold in a country where they drive on the right will achieve the same as a RHD sold in a country where we drive on the left?

Can I assume from your comment that you are in the trade?
