Gullwing Mototcars has discovered yet another forgotten supercar languishing in shipping container and/or storage unit. This time, it’s a rare 1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS, which hasn’t seen the light of day in 25 years. The GT and GTS cars provided added power over the earlier models, and this GTS featured a targa-style roof design. Find the dusty Dino here on eBay with a classified listing price of $279,500.

The Dino appears to be in excellent cosmetic condition. The slim chrome bumpers show good luster and despite the coating of dust that Gullwing leaves on all of its discoveries, I’m sure it would clean up nicely if washed. The front marker lights indicate this is a U.S. model, which isn’t surprising – but it’s always tempting to see if a car was squirreled away due to its gray market origins.

The interior shows well, with unmarred leather bucket seats, decent carpets, and the trademark Ferrari gated shifter. The seller doesn’t provide much in the way of details about the Dino’s history or why it ended up parked for 25 years, but it seems apparent it wasn’t stored due to neglect – the cabin shows far too nicely for that. Of course, whether the electrical system and affiliated accessories still work properly is anyone’s guess.

The 246 GTS featured a 2.4L Dino V6 and made around 175 b.h.p., a downgrade over the European-market version which didn’t have to contend with our stringent emissions requirements. Like any Ferrari, an extensive engine servicing will have to take place before any attempt at start-up is made. The open-top GTS as made in fairly limited numbers, but whether the seller’s asking price is a pipe-dream is a debate I’ll leave up to our Ferrari experts.
