Already at $501K with 12 days to go! This really doesn’t surprise me. The Dino is one of the most emotional and beautiful Ferraris. When compared to the Carrera RS, the Dino is undervalued. What will we say about prices in one year?
With every thing on the planet rising rapidly I expect prices to rise quickly over the next year. Even simple items are a min 100% more than they used to be.
It was me. But you are comparing oranges to pomelos. Mine is a GT not GTS. A world of difference, at least in the US.
I do not think the spread between two equal condition (if there is such a thing) Dino’s, a GT and a GTS, is as far apart as one would think. 20 years ago there was definitely a premium for a GTS. In today’s world, I think they’re almost even.
So it looks like low miles, not restored, few things wrong for concours, USA car, well maintained. Makes you wonder what we’ll see if a restored platinum example ever shows up.
I am not surprised at all. Better to scare off bidders and make a bold move. That bid is only surprise based on how early it is. It is NOT a surprise in the grand scheme of things. What most don’t consider is the relative few number of transactions. Private ones are even more interesting. I am tired of trying to get other F-Chatters to post, but I guess they will in due time.
Just curious, what types of problems would cause a Dino with 32,000 miles require a transaxle rebuild? Thanks.
It sounded like it may have had a manufacturing/assembly defect that they wanted to address, and then did a bunch of other stuff while the motor assembly was out.
I’ve had to completely disassemble a Daytona transaxle which had a major manufacturing defect that had plagued the car since it was new. Obviously, while it was apart, I also performed a complete overhaul. Car only had 18K miles, but ZF, supplier of said transaxle, and Ferrari, when they installed/tested(?)/shipped the car, along with the dealer and 2 subsequent owners had just chosen to ignore the annoying problem for 4+ decades. OTOH, that particular car could’ve been a poster child of (Ferrari) manufacturing defects of that period, as I discovered it having more than a few and some being such that I wouldn’t be surprised if more than a few Daytonas had suffered from same, but had received corrective repairs earlier in their lives.
