Why is it also listed as 034? The chassis plate reads 10523. Was this built on a regular production Dino not a 206S chassis or was that chassis used for a 206S? Typo 231B is also stamped on plate which is 206S I think. Best
10523 is the violet general marsh car that was for sale for a number of years recently. it is a 206 chassis and one of the prototypes. there are several prototypes, however, this is the only one with an odd numbered chassis. i have seen photo's of the car, but never inspected it in person. my guess would be that this is a chassis whose numbering system would have been in line with the ferrari chassis's of the same time (which seems to be most likely). when the dino's were numbered in an even fashion, the other prototypes followed suit.
i have never heard any comments made about a 206s chassis under it's skin. i guess the ultimate confusion comes form the "coincidence" that 034 (the yellow car which looks to be derived from the 206s) has a pf work order number of 10523 (according to the dino register). both of these cars still exist today, the violet 10523, is clearly more of a 206 gt in appearance and i would have to believe a 206 chassis. leaving 034 to be based on a 206s chassis, which based on looks as well, seems most plausible.
Yes, that's the car I think it is too....the yellow car with the fin off the noise and the spoiler on the back. As to the "Tipo" ????
Hi I just received an email from Marcel who confirmed the chassis plate and stampings what I don't understand is "034" is this another case where wrong info is passed down or is there some basis for this? The Tipo is of the Comp. cars. Best

my guess: the yellow car is the 10523 pf build job using a 206s chassis the purple car is the ferrari chassis 10523 using a dino 206 chassis
Very interesting. Here's a photo from Marcel of the chassis stamping on the yellow PF car. Where did 036 come from? Image Unavailable, Please Login
i was actually about to post the same photo. marcel took the photo when he examined the car at the Geneva Classics in October 2006. it does bring up an interesting point, that was vaguely asked in napolis' first post, is what/where is 034?
Very confusing, even to dinoregister.com. They say: "1967 S/N 034 ** Frankfurt Auto Show car. Displayed with the title of "Dino Berlinetta Prototipo Competizione Pininfarina". (Design Study) In-line engine placement. A show car with extreme front and rear spoilers, yellow exterior, black interior, light blue carpets. Coachwork by Pininfarina. **Note** Pininfarina work order number 10523 called for the special coachwork on this Dino 206S chassis. S/N ???? First prototype with the definitive shape. Pictured in Prunet's road car book, page 392. (3RD prototype) Identified by the large chrome door handles holes low on the door and also by lack of vents in front lid. Probably a non-running show piece only. Photos were used for press release purposes, but this particular car was never displayed in an auto show. Transverse engine placement, coachwork by Pininfarina. S/N ???? November Turin Auto Show-definitive shape, transverse engine. Red exterior, black seats with red inserts, (4th prototype) and white carpets. Coachwork by Pininfarina. S/N 00114 A silver prototype personally owned by Sergio Pininfarina. Pictured in various publications, (5Th prototype) and it was said to have been shown at the Paris Auto Show, maybe in 1968. Used for numerous press release photographs. There are virtually no identifying features on this Dino, and it appears identical to normal early production versions, except "Farina" badges on both sides, the wiper arms and blades were silver in color, and lack of vent windows. Coachwork by Pininfarina. S/N 10523 The first production prototype built at Scaglietti. (1ST production This car had side vent windows which the earlier prototype) Pininfarina prototypes did not have. The only Dino which was numbered with an "odd" chassis number. It is an apparent coincidence this car was numbered with the PF work order no.10523 used on the 206S 034 mentioned above. The Ferrari factory says these two cars had nothing in common." Wondering where the violet Dino is running today ....? best, cinque
the car was in ohio, usa for some time. i don't know where the photos i posted were taken. there is a texas flag in the background, but i haven't heard of it being here.
