Tonkin Dinos

Did you mean to post a link?

 

the yellow and wood trim? a lot of strange things on this low mileage dino

the blue one looks nice

 

I like the blue color better on the Dino but then I think the Euro lights are better on the yellow one.

I don't know if the glove box cover and dash are original. They seem to not be right and are detracting from the car IMO.

 

welcome to 2007, or even 2006

the car looks nice based on it's age. unless a car has been redone, they don't get that much nicer than this. i know that i am in the minoirty, but i would rather have a worn original interior than a redone one. granted sometimes circumstances forces a redo (ie- worn beyond use or appeal), but this car doesn't. it is however, a non-a/c model

 

Tonkin is a real good dealership ....IMO......very helpful when I made a buy in Portland, OR........it was actually a 1977 car they sold new!

 

Dude, the new top number is $150K!!!! LOL!

Maybe $175K, eh, wspeer?????

I kind of agree with you about the interiors, FoH had one last month that was brand new inside....it was a little incongruent, actually.....

Made the little paint flaws really stick out!

 

Oldest Dealership in the Nation.

Ask Kelly about the Purple Dino in Ron's private collection that was previously owned by Enzo and you might get a tour of all the Ferraris there!

 

does anyone have any photo's?

 

LOL!

I just went in the Parts Department and said,

"Ship this Euro spoiler and this set of BBS wheels/tires...here's the address!"

To which the counter guy said:

"OK......and that's a nice shirt...."

My F1 crew gear.....ROTFLMAO!

They also had fuel filters, fan belts, and spark plugs for a 308GTB...I dunno if FoH would have had all that on hand.......

 

I've seen both these cars in person and can do so again for you if you want. Or give Gregg a call at RTGT (877) 840-5146 and he can give you the scoop on either of them.

Things I do (think?) I know:

The purple one in all original and unrestored.

The yellow one was redone at Tonkin, paint, interior, etc. I don't know why they put the 308 wheels on it though?

Both cars look pretty nice in thier own right in person.
I check them out everytime I go there. I've allways loved these cars.

Cheers!

Probably a slip of the typing wrist, but to clarify, there are 3 Dinos in this
- The purple GT is in Ron Tonkin's private collection not one for sale
- The two other in the links above, yellow and blue, are the cars for sale.

 

Damn my color blindness! I'll have to look either this week end or on tuesday nite when I go to watch the F-1 race, whenever they show it. I'm sure it must be blue now that I think of it. Rons is purple. I know for damn sure the other one is yellow though!

Cheers!
