The Ferrari Dino 246 GT in its late "E-Series" form represented the final, most refined chapter of the Dino lineage. Production of the GTS began on the E-Series platform in early 1972 and continued until its conclusion in 1974, with just 1,274 GTS examples built. European-delivery GTS models carried a higher power output and less weight than U.S. versions, also distinguished by their flush-mounted front turn signals.

According to research by marque historian Matthias Bartz, this 246 GTS-chassis number 03900-was completed by Scaglietti on 20 April 1972, finished in striking Giallo Fly (Fly Yellow) over a Nero (Black) vinyl interior. The car was equipped from the factory with power windows, a rare addition on European-delivery examples. As an early GTS example, it benefits from the technical improvements implemented in previous series but retains the arguably more attractive L- and M-Series front bumpers which wrap around into the grille.

Chassis 03900 was dispatched to Ferrari's French distributor, Charles Pozzi SA in Paris, where it found its first owner, a Mr. Daniel Rouveyran. The Dino remained in France until making its way to the United States in the early 1980s, belonging to a caretaker in Pennsylvania. In 1996, the car passed to Eddie Karam, also of Pennsylvania, who would maintain custody for an impressive 25 years until 2021. That year, the car joined a new caretaker in Ohio, who invested in a comprehensive mechanical refurbishment.

This level of care has continued since its acquisition in 2022 by its most recent caretaker, a Los Angeles-based collector of European sports cars, evidenced by a $24,016 investment at Gran Turismo of Los Angeles in May of 2024. Including, but limited to:
• New fuel pump
• Oil filter and fluids
• Brake master cylinder
• Nnumerous gaskets and seals
• The cooling system was completely overhauled with radiator repair/re-coring and new hoses
• Restoration of the steering column switch assembly
• New aluminum belly covers, proper riveting, and protection in the form of POR-15 coating
• Fuel system components were renewed throughout
• The electrical system was thoroughly inspected and improved with new MSD ignition components
• Countless small details were addressed to bring the car to exemplary mechanical condition.

Followed by paint correction and a dry ice cleaning revealing many factory finishes.

A Fall 2025 Inspection and Service addressed new fluids, ignition cap, a rebuild of the carburetors and major detailing.

According to Bartz's research and report on file, chassis 03900 retains its original, matching-numbers 2.4-liter Tipo 135CS V6 engine (number 0009729) and five-speed transaxle (number 874 E), cloaked in its timeless original Giallo Fly and Nero livery.
