Ferrari Dino 246 GTS
VIN# 08070
Year: 1974
Color: Viola
Enzo’s son, Dino was formally educated in mechanical engineering. He worked side by side with Ferrari’s engineers learning and creating the engines and race cars that would win Ferrari championships. He was being groomed to carry on the Ferrari legacy when a fatal disease cut his life short.
In honor of his son, Enzo commissioned a new car featuring the V6 engine Dino had helped develop. The line would be named Dino.
Motorcar Gallery is proud to present 246 GTS Dino Spider #08070. We received this car in need of some restoration. It was red at the time and upon preparing the car for new paint we found remnants of purple paint. After some research we learned the original color was indeed Viola Metallizzato. Very few Dinos were painted in Viola however two prominent owners of Viola Dinos were to Mario Andretti and George Harrison.
During 08070’s restoration we performed a thorough cosmetic restoration that included a bare metal paint job, all new seals, and a complete new interior. The new interior included new mouse-fur dash, new carpets, and all new black leather and vinyl surfaces.
Mechanically, the records show a 4-corner suspension rebuild, a new steering rack, 4 rebuilt calipers, new fuel lines and a new fuel pump. Previously the engine/transaxle assembly was removed and a new 2nd gear synchro was installed. At that time the engine was resealed and a valve adjustment was performed. Our restoration included a new Ansa muffler, the last new one available in the USA.
One thing is for sure, when you show up in 08070 you will be noticed. The first complements will be for the color followed by complements on the condition. This is a great car in great condition. Enjoy life; put a Dino in your garage.
