Chassis no. 08512. Pino Verde Metallizzato over beige and black. 2419/195hp, 5-speed, fender flares and Daytona-style seats (aka “chairs and flares”), Campagnolo wheels, Michelin XWX tires, leather-wrapped steering wheel, Blaupunkt radio, power windows, air conditioning, books and tools.

Evaluation: One of 35 finished in this color. Mostly original and showing 28,350 miles that are represented as actual. A few blemishes on the nose but the finish is holding up remarkably well. The wheels are showing some age and a few light scrapes around the rims. The leather, dash, carpets and interior plastic are all impressive for their age and use. An impressive Dino even without the chairs and flares.

Bottom Line: One interesting trend in Amelia this year was that there were several Dinos selling for significantly higher prices than Daytonas at the same auction, which is quite the reversal. The chairs, flares, preservation and rare color was a magic combination on this car and it went beyond everybody’s expectations. We never thought we’d see a million-dollar 246 Dino, but this is staggeringly close.
