My Dad had a yellow one when I was in college. Agree it is a stunning car though now the tires look like they are tall enough for a truck. He also had a Fiat Dino Spider that was the same basic chassis, wheels, some of the interior and engine, but a proper convertible. His was in Ferrari red, but I used the yellow pictures to show the proper yellow color for the Ferrari. Most know what Ferrari Red looks like. I had a Ducatti 900SS Ultralite in the same yellow. For a time there all Ducati were painted on the Ferrari paint line so they only came in Ferrari colors back in the 90's.Originally Posted by Raza
Just a note the Ferarri Dino's were made between 1967 and 1969 and the Fiat Dino Spider was from 1967 to 1974. So it could not be a 1960. They built the Fiat so they could meet the number produced requirements for the car and engine for racing. I think he bough both in the early 80's for less that $10,000. I wish I could have bought one when he sold them (Preferably the Ferrari), but I was paying my own way through college. The fall Carlisle Auto show is where my dad bought both Dino's. Fiat first one in the fall of 1980 and then Ferrari the next year. Mecum now lists the value at $880,000 for the Ferrari and about $60K for the Fiat. His were both perfect and original. They were actually fairly easy to work on since they were very simple and I had a lot of experience with Weber Carbs.
Fun fact, both Dino did not have a Ferrari logo anywhere on them. They only had Dino logos even on the valve covers as tribute to his son.
