Yes i would like to see those photo,s This car was owned by someone (Barnard) local to me, last time i saw it it had awful panel fit and i spoke with the owner about it. The funny thing i remember was that we had both turned up at a local car show and his was picked to go into the arena whereas mine wasn't and at the time i thought (inwardly of course!) that mine was the better restored car. Long and the short was that later on one of the 'judges' came past and said "As your's is obviously a kit car, we put the real one in the arena". "Oh so why do you think mine is a kit car" came my reply. "Well if it was a real one you would have Ferrari badging on it" ****ing idiot i thought!!!
Great story. I'd say a replica would be more likely to have Ferrari badging and Cavallinos than a real Dino nowadays!
It might be a bit smelly but nothing several years of work cannot fix Sold for (£): 132,250 Image Unavailable, Please Login
LMAO. At nearly $250K, the seller made out like a bandit. What an authentic rust bucket, well neglected!
That is true, Freeman. And you would be interested, Alberto. You are the miracle worker! We are lucky to have our Dinos and to have bought them when they were not too expensive. I hope the owner of this car will join us. Andres
And I though Tom Shaughnessy was crazy when he told me that he thought 02444 would sell for over $50k when he had it on eBay a couple of years back. It ended up selling for $66k. I wonder which of these would be easier to restore today? Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
exactly. is there at least a standardized starting point? such as, 80%+ of the car must be original for it to be considered "restored", otherwise it's an amalgam? if anyone has an original bolt from a 250GTO please forward it to me, as I'd like to restore that car to $50MM perfection!
I went for the viewing of the cars as I had an eye on a Duetto they were selling. However, the Duetto had quite a few things wrong with it, the paintwork was terrible. All of the cars at the auction seemed to be ill-described, with a lot listed as "flawless" when they were far from that. As a result I didn't go to the auction the following day. Extra photos of the Dino to follow. And also photos of the White Dino they had for sale.
Exactly what I was thinking. There was a front clip on ebay.com about a week ago for circa $10-15k, whoever bought this Dino should definitely have a look at buying that as a starting point!
Just read a comment in another thread on this same car http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/206-246/448584-amazing-barn-find-dino.html#post143141389 which actually puts this in a different light. There have been lots of comments in this thread about the buyer paying too much for this rust bucket - but perhaps we should commend the SELLER on his ability to get the best for the pile of bits in his garage. The car has been off the road for 40 years supposedly so he has made a tidy 20 x his original expense (I am guessing here). Good for him.
Is that the hammer price or does it also include the buyer's premium (10%)? Used 1973 Ferrari 246 for sale in Northamptonshire | Pistonheads
The hammer price was £115k. The higher price includes the buyers premium of 12.5% plus the 20% sales tax added on top of that portion.
Here are a few more photos of the car that I took. As you can see it is very far gone.
