1973 Ferrari 246 GTS

VIN 06424

USA version, delivered in June of 1973. From 1975 to 2001, this Dino enjoyed a long-term ownership by Philip Smyth, who livered in Fargo, North Dakota. It was then traded to a dealer, Steve Barney of Sport Auto out of Summerfield, North Carolina. Sport Auto sold the Dino to Steven John Harbor from Portland, Oregon in 2002 who owned it for 12 years. Mr. Miraglia purchased the 246 GTS in 2014 and did a beautiful restoration with Scottsdale Sports LLC over a two-years period. The current owner purchased the 246 GTS in 2016 and being a classic car enthusiast had everything double check. He had an authorized DINO shop (La Scuderia - Speedshop, LLC - John/Aaron Bedford) in Albuquerque, New Mexico remove the transmission, check all the synchromesh & bearings, replaced the clutch, adjusted valves, carbs, and minor service. The current owner has more than enjoyed this 246 over the last few years. He showed it at the Santa Fe Concorso in 2016 and won 1st in its class (Sports & GT 1968 through 1977).

Stunning classic color combination Giallo Fly Yellow with Black Daytona seats and Black carpets. Factory options: Power Windows & Factory Air Conditioning. Upon our recent road test, this Dino performed flawlessly with a strong preforming 2.4-liter engine producing 175 horse power (top speed 148mph) and a smooth shifting manual 5-speed gear box. Period correct Becker AM/FM Mexico radio with electric antenna. The refinished five-bolt Cromodora alloy wheels are sporting Michelin XWX. Complete with books, tools and factory jack. This is an excellent opportunity to purchase a stunning 246 GTS Dino that has been loved and cared for.

History

The Ferrari 246 GTS, also known as a Dino Spyder, honored Enzo Ferrari's late son, Alfredo “Dino” Ferrari, who died of Duchenne muscular dystrophy at the age of 24. Ferrari designated this model to have fewer than 12 cylinders. There were 1,274 Dino Spyder's produced from 1972 to 1974.

The GTS model's Targa top was created as a direct answer to the 911 Targa. However, the Targa design was originally used on the Surrey-Top Triumph TR4, with both the Porsche and Ferrari following the British model's example.

Unique to the 246 GTS were metal panels that replaced the rear quarter windows, offering three rectangular vents in both sides of the car, and folding up and over the rear glass like a large roll bar.
