This Ferrari Dino was delivered new in Switzerland in October of 1969. It is an early example and falls within the 'L-Series' generation of 246 Dinos, and retains a number of similar features to their 206 Dino forebears, including knock-off hubs, lightweight alloy doors and decklid, and wood steering wheels.
This Dino left the factory finished in Rosso Dino (20-R-350) over vinyl interior in Nero (161). It has spent most of its existence in the United States, including coming to Texas during the 1970s. In the 1980s, the Dino dropped a valve, so it was placed into dry storage, remaining unrepaired. It was eventually sold to another owner who started the repair, but it remained uncompleted. It was later purchased by Dennis McCann of Westerville, Ohio. The most recent owner acquired it in 2012, who found it to be in complete and largely original condition. A full restoration soon began.
During the restoration, over $60,000 were spent in OEM and original parts. The mechanicals were fully built at a cost of over $50,000, while a further $150,000 was spent on the car's cosmetics in a restoration that took three years to complete.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2017
