Chassis 1396 is a Fiat Dino 2400 Spider, one of roughly 425 examples fitted with the enlarged 2.4-litre Ferrari four-cam V-6. Born from a Ferrari–Fiat homologation partnership, the model combined Ferrari engine technology with Pininfarina coachwork. Delivered new in Italy, where it remained through at least the mid-1980s, the car was later imported to the United States and subjected to a comprehensive multi-year restoration covering the engine, transmission, differential, suspension, and braking systems. It is finished in factory Amaranto over beige vinyl and retains a rare factory hardtop.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

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.
