    If this is what I believe it to be, how the F (and not Ferrari) does Helms find this stuff.

    I was over at Scuderia Rampante poking around, and he had this dusty old Dino 246 up on the lift (see photos). One owner, S/N 01628 per the Dino register has a few very interesting comments.

    > Chinetti order
    > Factory prepared for racing
    > Original campi's
    > fender flares

    How many factory prepped racing 246's did Ferrari commission?

    Dave was tied up and/or not disclosing....but if this is one of only a few factory prepared racing Dino's it will be well worth restoring. Quite a find.

    (last two photos from SR Facebook page).

    Check your email. It's one of the last two Dinos imported to the US but not a race car and no race history. Per the experts, it's a regular Dino with flares and Campagnolo wheels but only declared a race car so that it could be imported by Chinetti as Dinos were no longer legal to be imported (m series vs e series) and some finagling had to be done in order to get them in.

    Very cool car regardless and totally worth restoring.

    Saw that car about a week ago at the shop. Very cool find. And yes, why can't I find stuff like this? :)
