This matching number USA specification 246 GTS is 1 of only 72 Dino’s painted in Nocciola Metallizzato. It was imported by Luigi Chinetti - Chinetti-Garthwaite Imports, Ferrari’s official North American distributor. It was sold by Baker Motor Company of Atlanta, Ferrari’s franchise dealer in Georgia to its first private-registered owner .Mr. Lee H. Williams in the summer of 1974. Mr. Williams enjoyed the car though 1983 when he decided to put it into careful storage where the Dino rested on jack stands in time warp condition until 1997 when he decided to sell the Dino. At this time and still in its first ownership, the Dino had accumulated only 11,450 miles from new with one repaint in its original color performed in the mid-1970’s.
Sold by Mr. Williams in 1998, this Dino has enjoyed only 9,000 miles since and has been in the care of well-known Ferrari collectors to date having been serviced when and where needed at all times to keep in its excellent, time warp condition.
Most recently, this Dino was acquired by Autosport Designs, Inc. in a multi-car transaction with its most recent, well-known New York based collector. Today, having covered only 20,775 miles from new and during the last 43 years, this Dino remains in absolutely exceptional condition throughout and comes complete with its original jack kit, tool roll, extensive ownership and service history file and its original books in their leather handbook.
An exceptionally rare find in today’s market, this is an excellent investment grade Dino that not only has low original miles and known ownership history from new, but one that has also been cared for, serviced properly and is ready for immediate road use and enjoyment.
