Chassis 08302 is a 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS finished in Rosso Chiaro over Beige Connolly leather, built for the US market and delivered new through Bill Harrah's Modern Classic Motors in Reno, Nevada. Specified with the desirable 'Chairs and Flares' combination of Daytona-style seats and flared fenders — an option fitted to fewer than 150 GTS examples — it retains its numbers-matching engine and gearbox, certified by a Ferrari Classiche Red Book. The car carries documented ownership history and a continuous maintenance record spanning over a decade.

How this record is sourced

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
