Granted, these are the listed prices...who knows what they'll actually sell for; $225k - 1974 DINO 246 GTS DINO (SN not given); Azzuro with Tan Daytona Seats, 30k miles (http://www.autosportdesigns.com/Sales/Salesphotos.aspx?ID=2126) $270k - 1974 DINO 246 GTS "CHAIRS & FLARES" (SN not given); Rosso Corsa with Black Daytona Seats, 17k miles (http://www.autosportdesigns.com/Sales/Salesphotos.aspx?ID=2127) And no, I'm not on commission to the seller (I wish!)...just providing this community with info on current (asking) prices when I see them.
Seems like really original or beautifully restored coupes are difficult to find in the U.S.A. Rarely come for sale. Freeman

My understanding is that the marked difference in values between the GT and GTS is an American thing. The Japanese, I am told, and many Europeans, prefer the GT. So back in the days of the strong yen and Euro many GT's were shipped overseas to more appreciative new owners.
Autosport seems to price their cars towards the top of the range (US price range), im not sure if they sell more to Europeans or not but that could be a reason.
I think they tend to get more cars because they judge the market as improving and buy more. As stupid as my comment sounds, they tend to keep nice cars coming to market. they also deal with many repeat customers, I would think, that like to trade for different things. Maybe that helps too.
