Hi everbody can somebody please tell, what the original MSRP was for a 206 a 246 GT a 246 GTS? Thanks in advance Matthias
Would that not have varied by production year and options? Looks like we'll need to broaden the question a bit. Any of you guys have the original invoice for your cars? Dave M

Matthias - I have the original invoice from "Modern Classic Motors, Inc. - (Importer)" [as printed on the invoice letterhead) to the dealer, Grand Prix Motors (now Ferrari of Seattle) for my Dino (246GTS), dated April 4, 1973. It includes both the MSRP and Dealer NET, and it reads as follows: "Dealer: Grand Prix Motors, 150 Lakeside, Seattle, Washington Port of Entry San Francisco, California Delivered to Dealer At Reno, Nevada SUGGESTED RETAIL PRICE/ NET Suggested retail price P.O.E. - $15,300.00/ $12,750.00 Accessories: Metallic Paint 205.00/ 185.00 Leather Internior 360.00/ 315.00 Air Conditioning 600.00/ 525.00 Power Windows 205.00/ 185.00 Total Accessories 1,370.00/ 1,210.00 Federal Excise Tax on Tires 12.30/ 12.30 Preparation Charge ---- Modern Classic Motors makes no charge for inland freight which is paid for by dealer TOTAL SUGGESTED RETAIL PRICE P.O.E. $16,682.30/ $13,972.30 State & Local taxes (if any) are not included" Then, typewritten below the printed invoice is a freight charge of $375.50, for a grand total of $17,057.80 for the retail price. I also have the letter from the dealer to the bank requesting that the bank "floor" it at the NET price of $13,972.30. The car was delivered to Grand Prix Motors on or about April 23, 1973, and it was sold/delivered on June 29, 1973. The flooring interest for that period was $188.59. The dealer cost (as carried on the invoices and the internal notes and letters that I have indicate that the dealer expense was $14160.89. The car was sold for $16,932.80. I can't tell from the records that I have how the $375.00 freight charge was handled - it might have come out of the dealer's profit. Mark
