Racer: 1966 Fiat Dino Coupe
Update 12/9: Fred on Leblogdino.com has kindly forwarded us a picture of the interior. Looks great.
Ever since we first laid our eyes on this Fiat Dino Coupe, we have wanted it. The car features on a Dino website and quite often we would go and have a peek to see if it was still there.
Then last year, to our amazement, we discovered the car for sale on Autoscout24 but it got snapped up in no time. It was for sale at the time for €22000. Now, it has come back onto the market for €12000 here on anciennes.net out of France. We’re not sure about the reason for the sudden drop in price, but this could mean a nice deal for someone.
The stance and wheels are spot on. We absolutely love the aggressive front with the typically French yellow headlights. The air scoop on the polyester bonnet looks impressive. The engine is a 2-liter V6 which delivers around 190bhp. The exhaust tail pipe mounted on the side is a great feature. Vitaloni rear view mirrors are some of our favourites.
The car also comes with a roll cage welded in. The only thing that bothers us a bit is the massive Sparco bucket seats, they are massive! We would try and get some period alternatives that aren’t so overwhelming. If someone has more pictures of this car, please send them to submit@classiccarhunter.com.
