Wanted 246 Dino GT

Welcome Martin… you might post. the same in the 246 dino section as they are very active and years ago I found my DINO GT through That group. I will say that the some of the most well known. DINO experts in the world are in that group…Interesting I also went the Big block corvette to Ferrarii route .. best of luck

 

Older ad but appears to still be active:

Gullwing get's a lot of flack, but I've personally found Peter to be a good dude to deal with. He has a red/black 246 (I'm sure you've seen it). At the current price, I frankly think it's a pretty good deal IMHO. It needs a clutch, but seems well below realtime market value. Maybe worth a check out.

 

Marty - welcome - good luck - I found this place before I found my Dino as well - I am friends with John P who has been my source for all things Classic Corvette and he told me you were looking - my advice is to forget color - I came here determined to get a red Dino - there are many shades of red that the Dino came in - and there were and probably still are a fair amount of color changes to red - A wise man said to me "The Dinos that bring top dollar at auction are the rare colors, the "off the beaten path" colors - he totally changed my brain - not because I was buying purely from an investment POV - but that these cars are sought after for their unique-ness and a unique color adds to that unique-ness ...

I have read the ad for that red car in NY 1000 times - the one at Gullwing - I Kinda like it - color change and warts and all - my 2 cents is that if the car has the original motor and trans ...that would be enough for me - but get a good rec here for someone to do an inspection for you - a PPI as they all like to say - I paid for 2 before I bought my car and when I bought my car I didn't pay for one - I went to NY myself to see the car and had learned enough at that point to feel knowledgeable enough to feel confident

last thought - I really love that US spec GTS in the other thread in this section - I bet the color has you turned off - my experience tells me that if that car is as well-sorted as it looks - you could maybe work on that price a little bit - seems now that it translates to about 543K USD.

And most importantly... you would drive it here in town and after one day you would be sooooo happy that it's NOT red - people ask me about my color all the time - Nocciola Mettalizatto (sp?) - I think it translates to hazelnut metallic

I now know that they only made like 74 cars in my color throughout the whole run - I would think they made many more in shades of red - I like Dinos in red - but I absolutely LOVE my car in its color - feels unique - feels special ....

If you get your hands on a Dino Compendium - the bible so to speak on all things Dino - created by and self-published by an esteemed member of our small forum here - you could see ALL of the colors that the Dino comes in - and you will want them all

I don't mean to keep harping on the color

I'm just remembering my search - which was 2 years on and off - and as a Shelby and Corvette guy - I had thoughts about color as it related to value and collectibility and desirability that were burned into my brain .... I promise you, they don't apply to Dinos

I was still nervous about my color - but when I got it - I was in love - like a rescue dog - love at first sight

Good Luck - John

Hello Martin,

are you still looking for a Dino? Sent me a note.

Hello Martin,

sorry, my fingers were too fast on the send button.
I have a very special car for sale. It is a time capsule, a 1970 246 GT L series completely original and unrestored.
I bought the car from the second owner about 11 years ago in Italy. He owned the car from August 1970 up to 2011.

You can contact me: [email protected]

 

"It must be rust free " <<<Does such a thing exist?

All joking aside, a few years ago I was thinking of getting a Dino and this is what ended up stopping me. I got the sense that if I didn't want to worry about rust then the only option was a car with a top notch, documented restoration (the type omgjon does). If that's what you are after then you end up with the concours level cars and prices. Good luck, hope you find one!

 

Rust proves Originality!

It can only be Original once!!

I have one I may sell, it’s been parked for years and will need sorting before returning to the road.

 

Congratulations!
