Chassis 00136 is a 1968 Ferrari Dino 206 GT, one of approximately 150 all-aluminium examples produced during the model's brief two-year run. Originally delivered to Crepaldi Automobili in Milan on 30 August 1968, it passed through a documented chain of American and Italian owners before undergoing a comprehensive concours-level restoration between 2013 and 2016 by Dino Restorations of California. Subsequently displayed at the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic and a multi-time entrant at Concorso Italiano, it is considered among the finest surviving examples of the type.
