Ferrari Dino Submodels
The Dino holds a special place in Ferrari history as the brand's first mid-engine road car. Named for Enzo Ferrari's son, Alfredo "Dino" Ferrari, the cars were sold under the standalone Dino brand and weren't badged as Ferraris. The lineup began with the rare, aluminum-bodied 206 GT before evolving into the more powerful and common steel-bodied 246 GT and targa-topped 246 GTS.
Collectors prize the Dino for its gorgeous Pininfarina design, executed by Scaglietti, and its sublime driving dynamics. The V6 engine provides a unique soundtrack, and the car's balanced chassis makes it one of the most rewarding driver's cars of its era. It represents a major turning point for Ferrari, paving the way for decades of mid-engine models.
Once considered an entry-level model, the Dino is now a certified blue-chip collectible. After a rapid appreciation, market values have stabilized at a high level, with an average sale price around $460,000. Rarity and options, like the Daytona-style seats and flared wheel arches known as "chairs and flares," command significant premiums.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest enemy of these cars. Inspect the floor pans, front and rear valances, door bottoms, and around the windshield and rear window for corrosion or poor repairs.
- Verify the car's originality. A Ferrari Classiche "Red Book" certification adds immense value. Check for matching-numbers on the engine, gearbox, and chassis.
- The V6 engine is generally robust, but look for evidence of regular maintenance. Oil leaks are common, and timing chain services are expensive.
- Test the 5-speed transaxle. The dog-leg first gear and second gear synchro can be tricky, especially when cold, but excessive grinding or popping out of gear indicates a need for a costly rebuild.
