This 1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GT is one of approximately 2,900 E-series examples built through July 1974 and was completed on March 21, 1972, before being delivered new to Chinetti-Garthwaite Imports of Paoli, Pennsylvania. It was first sold to a California-based owner, and it remained in the state until it was purchased by the seller and moved to Florida in 2016. A refurbishment completed in 2018 included a repaint in Rosso Chiaro and the installation of replacement black leather upholstery as well as an engine-out service for the 2.4-liter V6, and service of the suspension, brake, cooling, and fuel systems. Equipment includes triple Weber carburetors, a five-speed manual transaxle, four-wheel disc brakes, 14″ Cromodora five-lug alloy wheels, power windows, air conditioning, and a cassette player. Replacement tires were installed in August 2024. This E-series 246 is now offered with tools, a Marcel Massini report, a Matthias Bartz report, refurbishment photos, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
The Scaglietti-built bodywork was delivered from the factory in Rosso Chiaro and was repainted under the seller’s ownership. The car is equipped with a driver-side mirror, split chrome bumpers, and a power antenna as well as US-market lighting that includes recessed rectangular front turn signals, side markers, and rear reflectors inboard of the taillights.
Silver 14″ Cromodora five-lug alloy wheels wear Dino-branded center caps and are mounted with 205/70 Michelin XWX tires that were installed in August 2024. The suspension incorporates unequal-length A-arms, coilover shock absorbers, and front and rear anti-roll bars. The suspension and steering rack were reportedly serviced under the seller’s ownership. Stopping power is provided by power-assisted ventilated disc brakes all around, and replacement pads were installed under the seller’s ownership along with a fluid flush.
The cabin houses fixed-back bucket seats that were retrimmed in black leather with color-matched upholstery over the door panels and console under the seller’s ownership. Replacement gray “mouse-fur” dash trim was also installed at that time, and additional equipment includes power windows, a heater, air conditioning, a Beltek AM/FM/cassette player, Pioneer door speakers, a gated shifter, and headrests mounted to the seatbacks.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel features a Dino-branded horn button, and it frames Veglia Borletti instrumentation including a 170-mph speedometer, a 10k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for oil temperature, coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 42k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under the seller’s ownership.
The mid-mounted 2.4-liter Tipo 135CS V6 underwent an engine-out service during the refurbishment and features a 65° angle between cylinder banks, dual overhead camshafts on each bank, Magneti Marelli ignition, and a trio of two-barrel Weber carburetors. The 2010s engine-out service reportedly included the installation of replacement oil lines, gaskets, seals, and engine mounts as well as an overhaul of the carburetors and service of the cooling system. Photos taken during the service can be seen in the gallery below.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transaxle. The fuel system was serviced under the seller’s ownership.
