What’s special about this listing

This 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS is a US-market E-series example that was refurbished and modified under prior ownership. The car is powered by a modified 2.4-liter 24-valve V6 that breathes through triple Weber 44 IDF carburetors and is mated to a five-speed manual transaxle. The engine is equipped with 24-valve cylinder heads reportedly sourced from the Lancia Stratos racing program. Additional modifications include:

Integrated fender flares
QA1 coilover suspension
Custom exhaust headers and Borla mufflers
A lightweight clutch and flywheel
16″ NTM “coffin spoke” alloy wheels
A removable roof panel
Four-wheel ventilated disc brakes
A vented hood
Power windows
A fire extinguisher

Finished from the factory in Argento Auteuil Metallizzato, the Scaglietti-built bodywork was modified with the addition of integrated wheel arch flares and front fog lights before being repainted red with a black tail panel. The bumpers and parking lights were removed at that time, and clear headlight covers have been installed.
