The Dino, named after Enzo’s son, was intended to be an entry level Ferrari, and featured a special “Dino“ badge, and not the typical Cavallino “Prancing Horse”. In the first year of production they were labeled the 206 Dino’s and by 1969, with the new larger more potent 2.4L V6, the model designation changed to the 246 Dino, and production continued through 1973. They were offered in two body styles, a sleek GT sport coupe and as a open spider with a removable roof center section labeled a GTS. There were not a lot of factory options available outside of interior and exterior color choices, radio, power windows, air conditioning and wheels. However in later cars, the rare Ferrari 365GT/B (Daytona) seats, small wheel well lip flares and wider wheels , known as “Chairs and Flairs” became a very sought after option. This Dino started out life as a GT and was later upgraded to a factory correct GTS spider, including the body flares and Daytona seats. This low mileage Dino featured here looks stunning in brilliant silver metallic paint with a complimentary dark red and black leather interior and wider Campagnolo wheels. This combination spells class, and the level of restoration is sure to please any potential Ferrari collector.

Rockefeller as one of the first notable owners.1956 was the final and last year for the big beautiful and luxurious Packard Caribbean Convertible. There were minor changes between 1955 and 56, and only 276 Caribbean convertibles were built for that year. They were powered by Packard’s own overhead valve V8 engine that displaced 375ci and produced 310hp. Thanks in part, to twin 4bbl Rochester carburetors. Tri-tone paint schemes and corresponding matching leather interiors were optional and very popular. They were loaded with options rivaling many of the other luxury Marques of the day like Lincoln, Imperial and Cadillac. These Packard Caribbean’s were also the lowest production of any full-size American made luxury convertible in the 1950’s. The Caribbean’s had great exterior styling, comfortable seating, (reversible upholstery), full power accessories, and a very space age, intricate instrument and dash layout with a push button gear indicator pod protruding from the steering column. This Packard started out as a decent running and driving example and then was reconditioned both cosmetically and mechanically for the occasional Sunday drive, but also for show. It features the desirable tri-tone paint scheme in Dover white, Danube blue and black with corresponding matching interior. This lovely Caribbean has in fact been on display at numerous car shows and events and would certainly be welcome in any museum or private collection.

To retain originality the dash was carefully restored using retro-style instrumentation and a beautiful wood rimmed banjo style steering wheel replaced the original.

Trans-Am (Trans-American Sedan Championship) racing started in 1966 and evolved out of SCCA amateur racing to professional level to allow all manufactures and European FIA certified cars to compete with GT cars here in the US. The classes were divided into two groups, under 2000cc displacement and over 2000cc’s, not to exceed 5 litres. This type of racing was designed for the new 60‘s “Pony Cars”, Mustangs, Cougars, Firebirds, Camaro and Barracuda’s. These American cars were small, fast and nimble and stood a fair chance in competition with foreign sports cars of the era. The first Trans Am Race was run at Sebring Florida and won by the famous Austrian F1 champion Jochen Rindt in an Alfa Romeo GTV. As Trans-Am racing grew in popularity, one manufacturer needed a new more competitive race car and that was Chrysler Corporation. Both Dodge and Plymouth entered a new pony cars into the marketplace and on the race tracks. Plymouth offered the all-new redesigned Barracuda and Dodge entered the appropriately named “Challenger” One of the two well-known Dodge Challengers now being offered for sale.

The T70 is one of the most appealing competition cars of that era, driven by world renowned drivers like Dan Gurney, Mario Andretti, Parnelli Jones and John Surtees. They were even used as stunt cars during the filming of the 1970 Steve McQueen cult movie “LeMans“. The Lola T70 MKIIIB is a more aerodynamic version of the earlier MK III coupes. Today, vintage racing is a popular sport; Cars like Ford GT 40’s, Cobra’s, Chaparrals, Porsche’s, Ferrari’s and Lola’s are very much in demand. However there are not enough to go around so in 2005 Lola cars announced "an authentic and limited continuation series" of the original T70 MkIIIB. A US company, "Race Car Replicas" produces an authentic looking replica of the MkIIIB coupe using an aluminum monocoque chassis as in the case with this car. The power comes from a 350ci 500hp small block Chevrolet and transfers all that torque to the ground through a HEWLAND racing transmission. This car was originally constructed by Heritage Engineering in the UK during the late '80s as a MKII roadster (Roadster body and log book included), and ran with great success in the Retro Sports and GT championship with overall wins at Spa and Nurburgring against modern race machinery. Currently this car is race prepared by Heritage Motorsports of Clearwater FL. and continuously and successfully vintage raced and qualifies for HSR and SVRA Hawk Series.
