This 246 gts, chassis 07912 was first delivered by Wide World of Cars, Inc. of Nanuet, NY in November 1974 to Mr. David G. from New London, NH. The full MSRP was back then $17800 and included an am/fm Blaupunkt radio that is still fitted today. The Dino was used by David G. until the end of September 1985 by which time it had traveled 18k miles. The second owner was Mr. Tony S. in New York who kept the car for a year before selling it to Mr. R. Recchiuti of New Jersey when the mileage had reached 18900 miles. The 4th owner had it when it reached 20233 miles in 2000, in 2000 the car was presented by Christie's Auction in the US and found new owner from 2000 to 2022 and resided in VT. As of 2022 we took purchase of it from Gooding & Co, which means this is a very low mileage example in a very original paint and interior. The paint has crazed with age, noticeably on the rear buttresses, and there are very few scratches in places. The interior has a tan leather seats with brown carpets and a black top. The original correct type driver door mirror is fitted, as well as the quarter light window catches so often found missing on Dinos. This once comes fitted with Air conditioning. This is a Dino with a continuous history and therefore unrestored should be extremely appealing for the right collector.
