Classic Icon: Rare 1969 Ferrari Dino 206 GT Goes Up for Auction in the U.S. (Instagram @bringatrailer)
The 1969 Dino 206 GT, up for sale on “Bring a Trailer“, is a landmark in Ferrari history as the brand’s first production car with a mid-mounted engine.
Although it was not initially sold under the Ferrari name, the model was designed by Pininfarina and equipped with a 2.0-liter V-6 engine producing 178 hp. Its light and elegant design, combined with innovative technology, made the Dino an icon.
Only 154 units were produced before the launch of the 246 GT, and this rare example is one of only two painted in light metallic blue, with the paint restored in 2018.
Named in honor of Alfredo “Dino” Ferrari, Enzo’s son, the model carries the legacy of a young engineer passionate about racing engines, whose life was cut short at 24 by a muscular disease. The engine in the 206 GT, a technical gem with electronic ignition and Weber carburetors, reflects Dino’s vision. Originally registered in Tuscany, this car spent decades with the same family and still retains its original Italian plates.
Now located in California, this Dino 206 GT is a testament to Ferrari’s history and Dino’s commitment to automotive engineering. With just 72,000 kilometers on the clock, it combines exclusivity, performance, and history, offering a unique opportunity for collectors. The auction ends on January 23.
