Some Dinos at the Arizona auctions 2020

Visited the Arizona auctions again this year. Not that I am in the market for anything, just keeping myself informed. They are sort of car shows to me. Besides, it is a good time of the year to visit Arizona.

Some of the action results have been posted in the BaT thread, but here I list all the Dinos I saw - except for the one at Barrett-Jackson. I never go to the B-J auctions (too many auctions at once), but I always try to make it to the three important ones: RM Sotheby’s, Bonham’s and Gooding&Co.

1. Red GTS no 07898 at RM Sotheby’s

Looked like a typical Dino - with some needs - to me. Nothing unusual.
By the way, the description by RM is wrong in saying that it was cosmetically restored in its original factory colors. Obviously, this is not Rosso Cordoba - not even close. Either that, or the original color was not Rosso Cordoba. Either way, it is misleading info.

Sold for $ 302,000

Fairly well preserved Fiat Dino Spider, marred by some interior wear and faded tail light lenses. Still, quite nice.

Sold for $ 120,960

Another typical Dino, in need of some attention. Spiderweb lines in the paint on the right rear fender, among other things.

An apparently original, unmolested and unrestored low-mileage car. By far the best of the 246 Dinos covered in this post. Really lovely.

Quite a shock then, when the car did not sell and the bidding stopped at $ 230,000! What is wrong with people, I wondered.

It was then listed as Still for Sale on the Gooding web site with an asking price of 315K. It quickly found a buyer, though, so there is some justice in this world after all. Now listed as sold.
The buyer is to be congratulated!

Sold for $ 302,000

This car was beyond excellent. I would say Concours condition. Probably the best 308 GT4 I have seen. Sold well above its estimate. Nice to see these cars finally getting the recognition they deserve.

Sold for $ 140,000
