The most beautiful Ferrari of all time imo.

What a great video. The family restoration is a wonderful story.

In 1974 I imported a 1967 Fiat Dino Spider with a factory hardtop sight unseen from Milan, Italy to Seattle, Washington for $3,300. The car smoked a bit on a cold start but never really used much oil and the rocker panels were starting to rust out. I repaired the rockers and enjoyed the car for a couple of years of relatively trouble-free summer driving. I sold the car for $10,000 in early1977. My biggest mistake was selling it.

Around the same time, I bought a 71' Fiat 124. There was a Italian car shop near me (fortunately), and the had Fiat Dinos. I've never seen one on the road.

1st to reverse is not possible without having to press the lever down to go into reserves. So, it’s quite safe from accidental use!

100% it is truly the most beautiful car in the world. It is the very definition of sports car. I believe, when Enzo created this in honor of his son, he realized that this car WAS Ferrari and decided to place the Ferrari badge on it.

Agree with you

From what I understand, Enzo was against putting the Ferrari name & cavalino rampante badge on one of his cars that had less than 12 cylinders. Previous owners have put them on cars that have them. They were to be known only as Dino 246GT or GTS. The engines weren't even made by Ferrari. They were made by Fiat so that they could use them in their own Dino coupés & convertibles.

Pay attention that the driver many times looked down to the gater shift for the gear changes.

At about 4 minutes he says there is no reverse lock out. This is incorrect but it’s not obvious. You push down to change into reverse.

Good to see that it's not a US spec one with those big, ugly side indicators & non-flush front indicators. Also, no red rear indicators. If anything, it will be a good blue chip investment, guaranteed to increase in value. Although the Dino was the least expensive car in Ferrari's line-up (it was supposed to compete with Porsche's 911, but 911s outsold the Dino many times over), they are now, when in concourse condition amongst the most expensive of Ferraris, new or old. Just one Powerball.......

While these cars are easy on the eyes, they are sorely lacking in the horsepower department. One of my least favorite Ferrari's to drive. I've always thought that the 246 was a perfect car for a Ferrari owners wife, not too much power and easy to handle...

Not a Ferrari. Doesn't say Ferrari any where on it.

@alfredodino825 6 ай бұрын

It actually does say Ferrari all over her - Just not in any obvious spots. If you had owned one you would know!

It is a Ferrari. It just shouldn't have the Ferrari name or the cavalino rampante badge. They never left the factory with them on. Enzo didn't want them on one of his cars that had less than 12 cylinders. Fiat actually made the engines for it so that they could use detuned versions of them in their own Dino coupés & convertibles. It should be referred to only as Dino 246GT or GTS.
