    A good friend has (2) unrestored BMW 507's. I have a Dino (isn't that listed price way, way too low and they got the production years wrong). But...sigh...neither one of us has any of the ladies on that same web page.

    Curvaceous and catlike, Ferrari’s diminutive Dino 246 GT never came with a Ferrari badge. Named for Enzo Ferrari’s late son, it was sold through Ferrari dealers and advertised as “almost a Ferrari.” The car cut a dashing figure on ABC’s 1971–1972 show The Persuaders! as the hip ride of international playboy Danny Wilde (Tony Curtis). At the time, it was revolutionary thanks to a transversely mid-mounted 195 bhp four-cam 2.4-liter V6, with three Weber carburetors, a five-speed all-synchromesh gearbox…the list goes on. It came in two versions: a GT coupe and a GTS convertible with a lift-off “Targa top.” The coupe (originally $14,500) is by far the prettier, with a beautifully curved roofline and flying-buttress rear corners. Figure on $100,000 for a GT, 50 percent more for a GTS. Either way, you have the essence of a 1960s Ferrari in a delightful package.
