This 1970 Ferrari Dino 246 GT is an L-series car that was given what the selling dealer describes as a 3,500-man-hour restoration at P4 Motorsports between March 2015 and January 2019. It went on to take first in class at Cavallino Classic 28 in Palm Beach that year. The car is finished in Nocciola Metallizzato over black Skai vinyl and powered by a 2.4-liter V6 mated to a five-speed manual transaxle. The car also features triple Weber carburetors, four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, 14” Cromodora alloy wheels with knock-off hubs, and a heater. This L-Series 246 is now offered on dealer consignment with a Ferrari Classiche Certification and Red Book, a book documenting the restoration, service records, a tool kit, and a clean Florida title.
The L-Series 246 GT debuted at the 1969 Geneva Motor Show as the successor to the 206 GT, and like its predecessor, it featured an aluminum hood, decklid, and doors. Approximately 355 examples were built between June 1969 and October 1970. US-market lighting includes recessed rectangular front turn signals, side markers, and rear reflectors inboard of the taillights.
The car was stripped and disassembled before a repaint in the factory Nocciola Metallizzato, and lead solder was used on the panels. Over 80 photos of the restoration process are provided in the gallery.
Two hardback books were produced to document the build, and photos of both can be found in the gallery.
The magnesium 14” Cromodora knock-off wheels are mounted with 205/70 Michelin tires, and a matching spare wheel is mounted in the front trunk. The suspension incorporates unequal-length A-arms, coilover shock absorbers, and anti-roll bars at the front and rear. Stopping power is provided by power-assisted ventilated disc brakes all around.
The seats and steering wheel were reupholstered by O’Rourke Coachtrimmers in England. The seats in Skai vinyl and the steering wheel in leather. Black carpets line the floors, and additional features include Klippan seatbelts, gray “mouse-fur” dash trim, a heater, a gated shifter, a passenger-side footrest, and headrests mounted to the rear bulkhead.
The metric Dino-branded Veglia Borletti instrumentation was overhauled during the restoration. The five-digit odometer was reset and now shows 536 kilometers ~(333 miles).
The mid-mounted 2.4-liter Tipo 135CS V6 was overhauled during the build. It features a 65° angle between cylinder banks, dual overhead camshafts on each bank, Magneti Marelli ignition, and a trio of two-barrel Weber carburetors.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential.
The Ferrari Classiche scheda tecnica certificazione lists the original colors as well as the initial delivery location of the car. Additional pages of the Classiche Red Book are shown in the photo gallery below.
The car won first in class at the 28th Cavallino Concorso d’Eleganza in Palm Beach in 2019.
