The Ferrari Dino 246 GTS occupies a unique and revered place in Maranello's history, a testament to Enzo Ferrari's desire for a more accessible, mid-engined sports car bearing his son Alfredo's name. Introduced in 1969 as the successor to the 206 GT, the 246 evolved with a larger 2.4-liter V6 engine, now cast in iron rather than aluminum, boosting power and torque. Its Pininfarina-designed, Scaglietti-built bodywork, characterized by sensuous curves and perfect proportions, quickly made it an icon. The GTS variant, introduced in 1972, added a removable targa top, offering open-air motoring without compromising the Dino's exquisite lines, and proved to be the more popular choice, with just over 1,200 examples produced before production ceased in 1974. This 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS, chassis number 08300, stands as a beautifully preserved example from the final year of production. Showing just 8,300 miles, this particular Dino is presented in the quintessential Rosso Corsa over a black leather interior, a timeless combination that perfectly highlights its elegant form. This Dino is not merely a showpiece; it is a meticulously maintained machine, evidenced by a comprehensive engine rebuild totaling $70,000 performed by Ferrari of Plano, TX, ensuring its mechanical prowess matches its stunning aesthetics. Accompanied by its original tool kit, owner's manuals, and even the original Bill of Sale, this Dino represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly original and thoroughly documented piece of Ferrari's celebrated past, ready for its next discerning custodian.
