Equipment
Campagnolo wheels, Michelin XWX tires, Ansa exhaust, air conditioning, Realistic (Radio Shack) cassette stereo, leather-wrapped Momo Prototipo steering wheel, factory tool kit, manuals, jack and spare.
Condition
Always a California/Nevada car, with the present owners since 1987 and represented as 67,599 miles from new. Very good older repaint other than a few tiny chips on the nose and a cracking chip on top of the engine cover. Good original brightwork. Very good original interior in rare grey leather. Light wear to the bolsters and a small scrape on the probably original mouse fur dash top are the only major signs of age. A pampered, mostly original Dino in unusual but attractive colors.
Market commentary
RM accurately read the Dino 246 GT tea leaves in setting the pre-sale low estimate; once the darlings of collectors, Dinos have shed value like a duck's feathers shed water in the past two years. They are delightful drivers on winding roads, and they are beautiful. With 195hp, they're also slow and easy meat for a Civic Type R at a stoplight. This is a realistic result for a quality Dino 246 GTS.
