Bought my GT in 1976. I'm the third owner. At the time, I had changed careers and coasts and was embarking on a career in showbiz. The Dino was my DD for several years. We commuted to studio lots all over LA. We got to know each other really well. Lots of stories. I own some interesting cars, and each holds a special place in my heart. But the Dino has it all. Performance and panache. It's irreplaceable.

 

picture please.... from 1976

I have owned my Dino since 1985 picture on first day of proud ownership attached.. She’s having some refurbishment at present and so I thought I’d try and fill in gaps in her past.

Dino 246GT, registration JPC 64K Chassis 02908, was a Maranello Photo car in 1972.
She is shown in a number of books on the Tipo, including the front cover photo of the Doug Nye book.

She started life in Azzurro Metallizzato as did a number of Maranello Press cars and was changed to Yellow and then to Dino Rosso at the beginning of the 80’s by previous owners. She has always kept the original registration.

Like some Dinos, this one was not well treated at first and suffered neglect, but is still in reasonably good condition.

The history from the time it was sold on in 1973 by Hexagon cars until the early 80s is almost non existent, so if anyone reading this has any information, photos, or any lead on her during this time, needless to say, I’d be very grateful!

 

E.A.P. would be me; Edward A. Peterson. I actually bought the car in May, 1976. Born in Mobile, Alabama and raised in San Jose, California after my parents were run out of Alabama by the KKK. It is a long story. I wish I could have contacted Ivan Russino to let him know that his car is now living in a rural area of Nevada.
