Profile & significance

The first production Dino road car: transverse mid-mounted 1.987-liter V6, about 180 hp, five-speed, alloy body on early cars and ≈900-kg weight. Only 152 were built, making it markedly scarcer than the later 246. Current market roughly $600,000–$1 million. Watch alloy-body corrosion, cooling, ignition and exact engine/body originality. 365 GT 2+2 — 1967–1971. Large Pininfarina four-seat GT, 4.390-liter V12/320 hp, five-speed, self-leveling rear suspension and luxury equipment. Roughly 800 built. Current market roughly $250,000–$500,000. Hydraulic/self-leveling components, cooling and deferred V12 maintenance are major ownership costs.
