Vehicle Description
You're looking at an early example of a sleek grand touring legend.
This 1967 Fiat Dino coupe has style, distinction, and the heart of
a Ferrari. And so it's amazing that a well presented package can be
this obtainable.
The overall quality of this coupe starts with its history. It came
from a collector who mostly enjoyed Ferraris. And so you're looking
at a coupe that has been given the proper care like a prancing
horse. That's why the panels fit so nicely, the trim is complete,
and the doors shut with that perfect "click" that the best classic
Italian driving machines have. And as you look over the pictures,
you'll see that this example doesn't suffer from the body pitfalls
of the other examples that were stored without much care. Then
again, there are not that many examples left to compare this one to
anymore. There are likely less than 1,200 coupes left in the world
today, and so to have one with a two-digit production number gives
it distinction amongst the rare. But more than just history we know
you love this Dino for its Ferrari-like red, Bertone-designed
curves, and all the Ferrari-like details, right down to wheels that
are shared with the 206GT version.
Inside is everything you love about Italian style. You can tell the
bucket seats were designed for spirited driving, and the stitching
pattern along the perforated inner panels make it look fast even
when parked. In fact, everyone gets this cool look because the rear
seats are buckets, too, on this true 2+2 coupe. Slipping behind the
wheel really does feel akin to a prancing horse with the
wood-rimmed steering wheel, crisp shifter, and a full set of Veglia
Borletti gauges. But there are plenty of extra comfort touches like
the power windows and wood on the center console/dash that remind
you this was built for a comfortable day driving up the Italian
Alps.
Under the hood is what really makes this car a legend. The Fiat
Dino program was created to help get the 206GT into racing. Ferrari
needed their 2.0-liter, six-cylinder Dino motor produced in a large
scale, so Fiat agreed to boost production numbers with a
limited-edition sports car that also carried this exact same
performance motor. The engine in this car is the more desirable
2.4L Dino Ferrari iron block engine, not the original 2.0L aluminum
block. The bold red air intake and bright Dino-branded valve covers
radiate power from within the dark engine bay. And when you get
this out on the road, you know the performance is more than just an
appearance. The dual-overhead camshafts mean it develops great
low-end power. And as he headers feed the newer dual exhaust, it
creates that unique and urgent tone that only comes from the best
at Ferrari. You control this entire symphony via five-speed manual
transmission. Control is also well in hand thanks to Dunlop Sport
tires and four-wheel disc brakes.
An early example of the classic Italian driving machine that not
only comes out of a quality collection, but also has the
maintenance records to prove its worth. So if you're a fan of the
Fiat Dino (or just proper European grand touring,) then you know it
will be tougher to find a finer example. Don't miss out, call
today!
