1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS – Nero

Introduced in 1969 as a successor to the 206 GT and branded as a “Dino” to honor Enzo Ferrari’s late son, Alfredo “Dino” Ferrari, the Dino 246 holds a special place in automotive history as one of the first mid-engine Ferrari sports cars. The 246 featured a more powerful 2.4-liter V6 engine producing 195 horsepower. Its stunning Pininfarina design, with flowing curves and perfect proportions, quickly became a hallmark of Italian automotive styling.

The GTS trim, first seen in 1972, added a Targa-style removable roof panel to the lightweight mid-engined platform. Of the 3,761 Dino 246 models produced, only 1,274 were GTS versions, making it a highly sought-after collectible today. Adding to its uniqueness, some GTS models were equipped with the “Chairs” option, which referred to the coveted Daytona-style leather seats.

Photographed here, our final year, 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS is finished in its rare & original exterior specification of Nero and the interior, including its original “Chairs”, has been trimmed to match (originally Cream). Equipped with factory air-conditioning, 08076 was delivered new in California from Ron Tonkin Ferrari in Portland, Oregon and was restored in 2006—having been exceptionally well-cared for since.
