Profile & significance
Pininfarina/Fioravanti mid-V8 berlinetta; 2.927-liter four-cam V8, 255 hp European tune, five-speed. Early vetroresina fiberglass bodies are much lighter and more collectible than later steel cars. Market roughly $100,000–$180,000 for steel cars and often $200,000–$350,000+ for top fiberglass examples. Hagerty emphasizes preventive timing-belt changes roughly every three to five years; early ignition/carburetor setup, fuel hoses, rust and sodium-filled exhaust valves on applicable engines are also inspection priorities.
