http://www.anamera.com/en/detail/car/205805/index.html?no_cache=1&ret=139 Ad: This is a 1973 GTS 246 Dino Ferrari, chassis number *07226*. This is a European model originally sold in Italy where it has had two owners. It it located on the central coast of California and has been with the current owner for the last 24 years. It has been in regular service for the last four years and has been totally reliable during that period. In the last four years it has had a complete brake system overhaul, a full distributor overhaul, installtion of an MSD 6AL ignition system, a starter motor overhaul, a full four wheel chassis alignment, and new Michelin Harmony tires. The car starts reliably, tracks true, and brakes very solidly. It pulls redline in first, second and third gear, verified by the California Highway Patrol, as seen in the photos. This is an original unrestored car, and the extra power of the European version is very noticeable when driven back to back with the US variant. It shifts typically for the breed when cold and shifts very well when warmed up. All in all it is a very solid, reliable daily driver. The paint is 24 years old, in the original fly yellow, and it is in good condition, with no evidence of rust to be seen anywhere on the chassis. The belly plan is scraped and scuffed in a few places due bad loading by careless tow truck drivers. The odometer shows 56,070 Kilometers. It is missing its jack and jack bag, spare tire hold down, removable top carry bag, the owner's manuals and manual pouch, and the right rear inner fender panel.

A friend of mine had seen the car in late 2008. It is a very good and original car but needs a complete restoration.
Saw this the other night, 04882 for $278,500 Ferrari 246 GTS Vehicle price: $278,500 Mileage: 69973 Miles Vehicle colour: Red w/ Tan Seats Accessories ROSSO CORSA WITH TAN LEATHER DAYTONA SEATS, ONLY 69,973 ORIGINAL MILES, POWER WINDOWS, AIR CONDITIONING, CROMODORA WHEELS, A FANTASTIC LATE PRODUCTION EXAMPLE OF FERRARI’S ICONIC DINO IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE $278,500.
I bought 04882 in 1981 from Larry Burnett, ex-Firefall member. It was silver with black and had standard seats and 48K on the clock. I picked it up in Boulder, CO and drove it back to Arlington, VA to the original Thorobred Motorcars owned by Ed Waterman where I worked. Car ran exceptionally well. We sold it and that customer painted it red and we traded it back in 1982. It ended up being traded at American Service Center in 1989 or 1990, coincidentally while I was employed there. http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn15/ptownblog/BackShowroom-Thorobred800.jpg
