This 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS is one of approximately 2,900 E-series examples produced through July 1974 and was completed in January 1973 before being delivered new to Carl A. Haas Automobile Imports of Highland Park, Illinois. Chassis 05476 remained with the same owner from November 1973 through March 2002 and later spent time with several other caretakers before being acquired by the current owner after it was listed on BaT in November 2025. Over $73k of work was subsequently performed by Ferrari of Naples, Florida, including Classiche certification, a rebuild of the carburetors and air conditioning compressor, a reseal of the top-end of the engine and transfer gear case, and replacement of the spark plugs, tires, battery, headlights, and removable roof seals. Finished in Argento Auteuil Metallizzato over Beige leather upholstery, the car is powered by a 2.4L V6 equipped with triple Weber carburetors that is mated to a five-speed manual transaxle. It rides on 14×7.5″ Campagnolo-look alloy wheels with Koni shocks and ventilated disc brakes at all four corners, and further details include a removable roof panel, a retrofitted Becker Mexico stereo, a MOMO steering wheel, and a gated shifter. Now showing 11k miles, this E-series 246 is offered on consignment by the selling dealer, a BaT Local Partner, in Wisconsin with a copy of the original bill of sale, service records, manufacturer’s literature, a tool kit, and a clean Michigan title.
The prototype 206 GT first appeared at the 1965 Paris Auto Salon with bodywork designed by Aldo Brovarone and Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina and was followed by revised concepts at the 1966 and 1967 Turin Motor Shows. The 2.0L-powered 206 entered production in early 1968 before being superseded by the 2.4L-powered 246, which was offered in GT coupe and GTS targa-top variants beginning in 1969 and 1971, respectively.
The Scaglietti-built bodywork on this example is finished in Argento Auteuil Metallizzato and incorporates US-market lighting consisting of recessed rectangular front turn signals, side markers, and rear reflectors inboard of the taillights. Additional exterior features include a removable roof panel, a power antenna, a driver-side mirror, chrome bumperettes, and quad ANSA exhaust finishers. The headlights and removable roof panel seals were replaced in 2026.
The 14×7.5″ wheels were styled after the Campagnolos fitted on “chairs and flares” models, and they were mounted with 205/70 Michelin XWX tires in 2026. The suspension incorporates unequal-length A-arms, coilover Koni shock absorbers, and anti-roll bars at front and rear, while stopping power is provided by power-assisted ventilated disc brakes all around. The front brake calipers were rebuilt, the front pads were replaced, and the fluid was flushed during the 2026 service.
The cabin houses fixed-back bucket seats trimmed in beige leather with color-matched upholstery over the door panels and rear bulkhead. Color-coordinated carpets line the floors, while gray “mouse-fur” trim covers the dash. The Becker Mexico AM/FM cassette stereo is said to have been modified to feature Bluetooth connectivity, and further equipment includes power windows and three-point seatbelts as well as headrests mounted to the seatbacks. The air conditioning system was refurbished in 2022 and the compressor was rebuilt in 2026.
The leather-trimmed MOMO steering wheel features a Dino horn button and is paired with a dogleg-pattern gated shifter. Dino-branded Veglia Borletti instrumentation consists of a 170-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 7,750-rpm redline, an analog clock, and auxiliary gauges for oil temperature, coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 11k miles, less than 50 of which were added under current ownership.
The mid-mounted 2.4L Tipo 135CS V6 features a 65° angle between cylinder banks, dual overhead camshafts on each bank, Magneti Marelli ignition, and a trio of two-barrel Weber carburetors. The top end of the engine was resealed by Ferrari of Naples in 2026, and additional work included rebuilding the carburetors, repairing a coolant leak, changing fluids, and replacing the spark plugs and battery.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transaxle. The transfer gear case was resealed in 2026.
A copy of the original bill of sale is viewable above and lists a total cash price of $14,500.
