The Mechanical Symphony that is Ferrari

The Dino, constructed in the early seventies, was the first Ferrari I ever saw in the flesh.  I was in high school and a fella's parent from a lower grade had a Blue 243 Dino (and later a 308GT4).  I know what they say about the driving position and hope you own a garage to keep the car serviced for you, but the allure is nonetheless.  This was also the time of the Detomaso Pantera are your local Mercury-Lincoln dealership, also another favorite, but another story.  A friend in California runs one of the best houses on this globe and I frequently like to pour over his offerings and admire the mechanical symphony that is Ferrari.







1973 Dino (Ferrari) 246 GTS s/n 06456 photo

Finished in a very elegant Rosso Corsa with excellent cream leather Daytona seats with black inserts and black carpets, 246 GTS s/n 06456 has only 52,485 well-documented miles and a known ownership history from new. In the last four years 246 GTS s/n 06456 has been treated to a complete repaint, an engine-out service, new water and fuel hoses, a transaxle rebuild and the dash has been re-upholstered with un-obtanium new-old-stock original mouse-fur. This Dino looks great, runs great and drives and shifts as new.
246 GTS s/n 06456 is complete with the leather owner's pouch, owner's handbook and an as-new full set of tools with the tool roll. Also has the jack, the jack bag and lug wrench. This 246 GTS offers everything the Ferrari owner could want: the pouch with the owner's handbook, full tools, the fun of topless motoring, the soft and sensual lines of the Dino and the sounds of the well-proven, low maintenance and high-revving V6 that makes every trip to the grocery store sound like a qualifying lap at Sebring. Cosmetically and mechanically near-new, this Ferrari is in excellent condition, with everything working as it should. A superb Ferrari Dino, priced right at $179,500.
