Ferrari Dino 246 GT chassis 03162 is a North American export model built in January 1972, representing one of the most celebrated mid-engined sports cars of its era. Powered by a 2.4-litre iron-block V-6 producing 195 bhp, it was noted for outperforming larger Ferrari models on winding roads. Retaining its original black leather interior and believed to have been repainted in period, this example shows fewer than 16,000 miles and has been preserved in largely unmolested condition.
