    I have watched the movie “Rush” many times.

    I know things from Hollywood aren’t always accurate, but when watching it again a few days ago, there are several scenes with a 308 GT4. Every time I see it, I realize how cool these Dino’s are.

    Way back when, one of the first Ferrari’s I was looking to buy (Mid 90’s) was a 308 GT4. It was an absolute “Sh*t Box” to quote the movie. Red and all kinds/colors of tan. Rust bubbles everywhere, and I assume worse under the EVERYTHING you could think to look at. It was on a used car lot in the outskirts of Houston. The asking was “$22k or any reasonable offer”.

    I have always loved these, but I am certain, if I bought this car, I would have found a money pit. I am SO thankful that that Dino wasn’t my first Ferrari experience. Oddly, a 330 GT 2+2 was my next. I still want a 330 to this day, but the Dino fueled my passion......

    Dino badged cars are the Unicorn for me, they seem to be almost impossible to find in the US. The US Spec cars Marcel has posted without the crazy bumpers are even more “Unicorn-ish”.... Now I am even more torn...

    Super early 07202 in Modena 15 September 1983.
    The 5th Dino GT4 built (completed 18 June 1974) and the first production car, originally painted Azzurro Metallizzato 106-A-32.
    Same car as in post #7.

    I spoke to them, they kind of still exist, but don't do (now) vintage cars, or fancy cars (whoever I spoke with, at least thats what he said)

    Wow, that really illustrates the degree to which the GT4 suffered from US regulations. IMO, no Ferrari was more negatively impacted from a visual perspective.
